Ok, my first post in this forum so I will begin with the important stuff: like just about everybody else I have been absolutely stunned with what you guys (the mod team) have already accomplished. My jaw is getting a little sore from dropping every time I look at one of your screenies, but it is worth it... Way, way, way beyond anything I could do.

A thought about this faction symbol... I wonder if it might be a little too literal, perhaps even slightly visually redundant if it appears on the unit banners, ie in a battle we see a unit of infantry with a banner depicting an elephant and howdah standing beside a real elephant and howdah. Apparently Indian art makes frequent use of icons, so an alternative could be a simple tusk. Or (my favourite) an elephant's footprint. I think that one has a nice degree of menace to it, especially since I recall reading that it was customary following battle for one Indian king or another to neatly arrange his captives in prostrate rows and then have an elephant stand on their heads, one by one...
Or perhaps, if you wanted something a little more obscure, a depiction of a deer- apparently the belief is that Krishna (I assume Krishnapur is named for him) was killed by a hunter who mistook him for one.
Just some thoughts- I would have no problem if the symbol stays as it is.
Cheers all!
