We imported them for the greater good of the Empire, I think...

Actually Gandhi was born in India in 1869 and after he became a lawyer he went to South Africa just before the 2nd Boer War broke out. Aside from colonization though I don't think there were any actual ARMY units of either the HEIC or the IA deployed to South Africa, much less Natal. There's lots of local colour though, never fear from gaudily outfitted militia and commandos to housewives wielding kitchen utencils!

Hi there Abokasee,

Tell you what, if you can find a verifiable referenced source that says that a full Honourable East India Company Indian Regiment or battalion sized detachment or Indian Army Regiment or battalion sized detachment was sent to South Africa to the specific Natal/Durban/Zululand/Transvaal region during the time frame 1800-1885 then we will consider the unit for inclusion. Otherwise I'm afraid it will have to wait till someone decides to do an Indian Rising 1856 mod.

Best I can do,
Harlechman

P.S.
Well I guess it's your area of interest. Same with me and the Zulu or Lace Wars. I'm not actually Welsh either

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

british used indian soldiers (so they were probally in afriaca at the time) but indian soldiers were given enfleid rifle's indian soldier were not happy about this so they rebeled were ever they were.

While it is probable that there were Indian men in the British army in South Africa no actual company was formed until the Natal Indian Ambulance Corps during the SECOND Boer war. The mod will not cover the second boer war and therefore will have no specific Indian regiment. Hope that has cleared things up

I thought as much. I'm afraid what you're thinking of is the Indian Rising that took place in India circa 1856-57. Which is very much outside the scope of this mod. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see an Indian Rising (or Mutiny) mod or even a 'conquest of India' mod - there was a game, Sword of the Raj, a long time ago that I think would do great as a Total War mod with the Moghuls, Mahrattas, Hyderabad and Scindes, Sikh's, Gurkhas and Afghans competing with the British, French and Dutch East India companies for the subcontinent. If you want to get a team together I'd support you and maybe help with research but I'm afraid that Indian or HEIC units are not going to appear in this mod.

Sincerely sorry,
Harlechman
