    India had a huge effect on most of the factions in the east of EB's map. First Seleukid relations with the Mauryans and later smaller states was fairly intense (including a couple of wars, a famous marriage alliance, and a number of other events). Second the buddist missions sent out under Ashoka were fairly succesful in converting some eastern greeks to buddism, including a Baktrian king who was quite a buddist scholar. Third there are the large greek populations in northern India (also converts of buddism through the work of Ashoka). Fouth there are the succesion of Indo-____ Kingdoms that EB factions turn into; Indo-Baktrian, Indo-Saka, Indo-Parthian. Fifth, soley as the source of elephants in most hellenistic armies India was was a place that was often in the thoughts of the great powers of the near east and ancient mediterranean.

    Qwerty: Ah I see, I didn't know they such an impact on the faction surrounding that area.

    The quetion is maybe: is it enough? (Enough for a "half faction"? :P) Greeks turning buddist maybe is something for the script-guys? Were the wars big enough?

    I leave that to the guys who know. As you might have guessed, I'm no expert.
