The Taxshashilan satrapy-a mod request

[KuKulzA]

New Units & Buildings suggestions? they'll need 'indian names'... maybe in Prakrit since Asoka spread that language throughout India right?

Indian Chariot (4 wheeled and big/strong, 4-6 horses and used for charges)
(super) War Elephant (armored but also with swords attached to tusks? a super expensive but much deadlier and less panicky elephant)
Rajput cavalry (regional skirmisher cavalry, the only real good cavalry of the Indians so-to-speak)
Uttarapathians (i heard they made the core of Mauryan army... maybe make them a good all-around soldier but not particularly fine... and make the Guild warriors better shock troops)
Jainism buildings
Buddhism buildings part of a reform

I also heard that archery was a 'noble' art in India at the time? perhaps the Generals can be archer/heavy infantry?

and reform ideas?

Time of Buddhism - 261?
After the Kalinga campaign our great ruler Asoka has seen the traumas or war and bloodshed. Buddhism is now spread, and all lands are encouraged to make monuments, wildlife reserves, hospitals, and pillars that speak of Buddhism and peace. Reforms are made the peace is ensured with wise civil rule.

Death of Asoka - 232
Woe! Our great leader has died! Friend of all castes, or Buddhists, Jainists, and of Hindus! Friend of the farmer and the soldier! Incompetent princes rule after him. But the army is still mainly deployed in the northwest and so we benefit from the presence of the military, as previously disbanded soldiers take up arms again...

Collapse of Mauryan Empire - 184
The great unified empire is gone... but now we are free to contend with the westerners and steppe nomads as we wish. Warring and contact has allowed us to adopt some of their warfare. We now can train better horsemen, and have trained Indo-greeks.




just some thoughts


and i say get rid of Casse for the Mauryans
