A. Native-ruled India rather than another furriner dynasty would be a wonderful change of pace.

Ofaloaf posted:A. Native-ruled India rather than another furriner dynasty would be a wonderful change of pace. This. Also, considering I was having trouble with vassals in my playing at the Timurids, I think C is super unlikely. And if Samarkand is a Rome, I wouldn't have tried so hard for Constantinople.

I don't understand why people are voting A for a strong India. It sounds like C-India is way stronger and threatening than A-India.

C sounds interesting.

I'll actually change my vote to C if you post the mod in here. I wanna play a state in India and it often gets ignored in modding.

Huh. A, since this is so close. A unified India will give the Timurids problems along their southern borders.

I feel like I must reveal what I read in these alternatives:ZearothK posted:a) Hindustan, the Great: (120% Tech Costs) The Indian peninsula is united under the HRE-like Karnata Empire, an alliance of states that seek to keep out the Mongols and Muslims alike. I don't think this is as united as it sounds, but I digress. ZearothK posted:b) Mongols, Mongols Everywhere: (130% Tech Costs) Four equally great camps, probably one "big" power with 2 or 3 vassals each or something similar. This is probably the "weak" India, at least it sounds like that. ZearothK posted:c) Samarkand: Third Rome: The Renaissance: (110% Tech Costs) The new Rome, where India is, as always, divided. It sounds, however, as if the Timurids' war in the west have brought peace and prosperity to India and Samarkand alike, thus in the long run making the two of them stronger for it. And, going with the pseudo-masochistic world ZearothK claimed to have wanted, I do think C is the stronger choice what with it strengthening the Timurids and all, as well as the Indian peninsula (in a lesser degree than say A, perhaps, but still). If ZearothK disagrees with the way I view stuff he is free to correct me. I'm merely flinging out guesses here.

A. As per Rohm's Law, adding Romes means disturbing the balance of Venices and Alexandrias. If we keep it up, we might reach critical mass, where it is impossible to leave your house because everything is blocked by amphitheatres and baths. That would be against the laws of thermaedynamics.

Tevery Best posted:A. But as any greek can tell you, is very possible within the laws of themadynamics. Anyway, I too wish to see the mod of this. Also, will we be voting on the situation of the new world as well? If we are, are we going to delay that until conquest of paradise is released, or what?

Luhood posted:I feel like I must reveal what I read in these alternatives: You are pretty much right on the money, with the exception of the Karnata being a blob around western India, rather than another HRE/Shogunate system. I am aware that "Karnata Empire" was an alternate name for Vijayanagara (so-named after its capital in southeastern India), but it's actually a play on that name and a reference to the Karnata Kingdom of the Mahabharata. It is meant to be a power capable of holding its own against would-be invaders and of consolidating its position in India, possibly even doing some imperialism in the areas surrounding it. The 120% tech cost is equivalent to Muslim tech, while 110% is what I am using for Western/Eastern, for the sake of comparison. I am doing a rebalance of the units across tech groups, but Nomads still have the best units in the early game, which would certainly help the Timurids in the short-term. The result of the C option is more akin to making the region similar to Italy (hence the Renaissance): a lot of rich and produtive small states, which means that unless a local power can emerge before colonialist empires reach it (or the Timurid AI figures it might as well), it is going to be ripe for some conquering. It will most likely result in a stronger Timurid Empire in the long term. Do note that the "years of peace and stability" is the region's background, but even if I am generous with making people historical friends it will still turn into "India: Total War" the moment the game is unpaused, as I am not setting AI Aggression to Low in the settings, so who knows, maybe we'll get a local power from the thunderdome. And yeah, I am certainly releasing the mod publically, and we will be voting for the new world as well. I am indeed leaving that one for last, since I shouldn't really bother modding it until the DLC is out. ZearothK fucked around with this message at 16:20 on Dec 14, 2013 |

Civilized Fishbot posted:Changing my vote from C to A in response to this. I thought that C implied a greater and more peaceful union. I think they're referencing the Hohenzollern game where the Byzantine Empire had a communist uprising and the surviving royalists retrated to India and and remade the Empire from there.
