Faction Destroyed: The Chauhan Rajputs

[SGD2C]

i know there was a thread on the destruction of the turks but in 9/10 games i played , the rajputs dont do anything the whole game, they stay in their capital of dehli and wait to be conquered. I've played as the ERE, Arms, Geo, ayyb, abbassid, and crusaders and in 9 of them they were destroyed. this all happens about 1170-80. the only time it didn't happen was due to i didn't get far enough. Has any1 noticed the trend/ or are they supposed to be defeated early?

[Skibbles]

I have noticed them die quite often, though I haven't kept an active eye on them nor fought them before.

[Lebre]

are you refering to the solanki or the chauhan?
because the solanki do move and a lot..

[Kip]

Chauhan are in Delhi.

[Baron Thunder-ten-tronckh]

I notice the Chauhan die very quickly, but the Solanki dig in and have lasted ever since I have played.

[Miraj]

I've renamed the thread. It was misleading since Solanki Rajputs never die.

thanks ya, sorry it was the chauhan rajputs. So are they supposed to at least move conquer something, cuz they just sit there?

They will in 1.1. They will infact be much awsomer than the other Rajputs in 1.1, We'll give them some nice cav and better units.

Also the reason why they are so scared and hide at delhi is because they start off at war with the massively steroided ghorids. I will make them start at peace but bad relations with Ghorids in patch 1.1. Hopefully that will make them come out of their shell and engage in some heroic battles with the Ghorids.

They will also be playable in 1.1, so you can defend India from the north and face the Ghorids right away.

*Pop!* goes my head.

You just let the genie out as far as I'm concerned. I'm now using all my strength to NOT ask you when 1.1 will come out. So how different will the Chauhan be from the Solanki in terms of unit roster and play-style? Will kshatriyya nobles still be the elite core of their armies?








On a big sidenote, but it still has something to do with India, I just saw this trailer. It's "The Fall", by Tarsem Singh (the guy who directed "The Cell"). Looks like quite the visual feast, and a really imaginative story. You can tell a lot of the sets and scenery are from northern India (I think I see Agra in one part of it...).

The process is still ongoing, so it is subject to change. I would also mention that 1.1 may just be a slight divergence between the two Rajput Clans, and in 2.0 they might have greater diversification between one another, though that is limited by how much resources we might find (Sindh's already gobbled quite a bit up! ). As for hints, I think it might be more exciting if we kept it secret. I can say that we'll be aiming for both to present an entertaining Experience, but that ideally how you fight as Chauhan will not be how you fight as the Solanki. A romantic way of putting it is that Chauhan is the Chivalrous Epic, and the Solanki the Martial Imperial.

Every time I play, I saw that twice they just self destructed and became rebels for no reason. I am guessing their leader died and that was all it took.

that is caused by the number of regions/number of family members, as far as my knowledge goes its hardcoded

[Otsman]

can anything be done about the rajput voices, they're the same as the mongol's, and when you play as them they don't say a word.

[Miraj]

Not until 2.0 when we'll use the native american voices. Its the best we can do unless we can get a collection of decent voice actors.

Aha so you'll do that? Interesting.

[IrAr]

I thought the Chauhan Rajputs were just supposed to be a buffer state. Anyway, is there a way that the Rajput bad-army spam could be toned down. I'd rather have tougher, more decisive battles against them.

[Kip]

Have you played on patch 1.05? 1.05 is way better when it comes to stack spam than 1.00.

[Krusadr]

Id just like to know if any BC player out there has ever seen the Chauhans expand, take another region, or simply survive?

Anyone?...

...anyone?

[Kubelwagen]

I've seen them take over the other Rajputs, God knows how. I was the Romans that campaign, looked at the other side of the map, and wtf'd.

[Krusadr]

wow. in every one of my games they're attacked and destroyed by the Ghorids in <5 turns.
