The Indian power will be spammage of levies,they'll be able to field way larger armies than anyone else in EB,but they'r units are going to be very low quality.Theres some elites too,though.

Yeah, but we can't skimp on elites... the elites in Indian armies were just that... very good professional soldiery.. often archers, swordsmen, elephants, chariots... in a sea of mass infantry...

I suggest for organization sake we split it into this:
General
Archer or Elephant or what?
Infantry

• spearmen*
• swordsmen - like the spearmen except without swords
• Guild warriors**
• longbowmen*
• noble bowmen - represents nobles ?

Cavalry

• poor skirmisher cavalry - light, and terrible cavalry
• war elephant*
• armored war elephant*
• "super" war elephant***
• indian-style chariot - 4 horsed, 4 wheeled, heavy charging chariot

*already present in-game
** I think the Guild warriors should be made a little more powerful so they can be more of an elite shock troop role
*** This is an elephant with the best troops in the howdah, and least likely to run amok, and has armor and swords attached to its tusks...

anyone know anything about Indian naval capacities?

By the way,there will be scripts that spawn them a few stacks if anyone attacs them.

Reinforcements from the rest of the Empire i assume?

I think that if we go by my idea of time periods... (like the Celtic or Roman ones)
Expansion of Asoka
Spread of Buddhism - 261?
Death of Asoka - 232
Collapse of Mauryan Empire - 184
then the scripted reinforcements would be much less after the Death of Asoka (due to weak successors) and cease entirely after Collapse of the Mauryan Empire
