I was wondering if the Hindu and Muslim unit rosters should be more polarized, meaning that the Muslim Indian factions (not sure what they are called but whatever the Pakistanis would be) like Ghazni(?) or Ghorids(?) should have more different rosters to reflect the drastic difference between Hinduism/Buddhism and Islam.
What I mean in that for Ghorids or Ghazni or one of the Muslim Indian factions, they have Hindu units for their lowest tier. I was thinking that doesn't make sense. Why would a Muslim Sultanate in India recruit Hindus to fight for him, against other Hindus (like the Rajputs)? Wouldn't those Hindus be more loyal to the Rajputs over a Muslim kingdom?
So I was thinking the Muslim Indian roster should consist purely of Muslim Indians who converted from Hinduism/Buddhism and maybe converted Mongols and Turks and Persians and Afghans and maybe even mercenaries from far away places like Arabs and Sudani/Ethiopians or even Indonesian Muslims too who arrive by sea.
I am sorry I don't know much about the history of Muslim and Hindu/Buddhist India, but I was just thinking that it would make more sense if Muslim Indians would recruit Muslims instead of Hindus, the very religion the Muslims are trying to convert the Hindu/Buddhist Indians from. Did the Muslim Indian Kingdoms regularly recruit Hindu warriors and allowed them to just stay Hindu?
Maybe that, and another polarization I could think of is unit specialty. The Muslim Indian factions if they have Arab or Mongol Archers with them, they'd be better at bows than the Hindus are and much more better at jav cavalry and horse archers than the Hindus are. But the Hindus of course have better elephants, masses of troops and powerful spears/swords over melee faction. Muslim excel at ranged and Hindu excel at melee mostly.
