Maratha CAN dominate Europe!

How does the Maratha stack up against the Muhgals? Why do they always roll over them?

Play a campaign as the Mughuls and you will quickly see why they fold against the Maratha under AI control. All of their developed territories are north, requiring long distance marching for their better troops. Their starting armies are slightly smaller than the Maratha, meaning that when its auto-calc, they will likely lose.

Also, their troops are.....not good. The have not a single unit that can form squares. Even if they lasted long enough, they have no units that can use bayonets or fire by rank. Their swordsmen, who are the best melee unit in the game, are still weak against horses, and can only be built from a high tier barracks. Really, their only stellar unit is camel gunners, which aren't exactly unique.

Though, if you want to play as the Mughuls, I'd recommend that you instead play as Persia or Mysore, because they don't start off with so many territories and are thus much harder. Mughul's main problem is that player control nullifies most of their weaknesses, but in straight up auto-calc, their subpar units get destroyed.

Interesting! Can you suggest any unlocker mods that work with 1.6?

What makes me laugh is usally the Mughals collpase into a Republic, it's quite funny. When that happens, you know it's over for them.

I got mine from Total War Center, in the startpos mod section. And I'm 95% sure I'm still using the 1.5 unlocker and it still works.
