    Icon7 [Preview] Mauryan Empire...... sort of

    The Mauryan Empire from Res Gestae have been merged into this mod. It is the largest, strongest, and richest empire in 280BC. It rules over the Indian subcontinent, with a standing army of 600,000 infantry, 30,000 cavalry, and 9,000 war elephants! Although on RTR map the vast empire can only be represented by 5 regions....

    The campaign is very easy and suitable for players who have never tasted Total War games!






    Some battle screens:
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 







    Greek mercenaries and indian-persia units will be added later by myself.


    Credit: thanks PROMETHEUS ts and the current Res Gestae team!

    Alexander the great reported in 326BC india,that his men where afraid to go into the caves...because of the dragons living there
    Even Herodotus wrote...that he saw wingend serpents in arabia.
    The word Dinosaur wasn't in the english dictonary untill 1860...WHY??
    Because now we question the existence of god...Thats exactly what the elite(nwo,bohemian club,bilderberg group and all the other sunworhippers) want.
    Hollywood,the music and game industry are now ruled by the illuminati.Just check how many times you see a pyramid(satanic symbol),or 1 eye(the all-seeing eye of horus=satanic symbol),a checkered black and white floor or walls(masonic floor) in games,movies and cd covers.They hide messages in there products.
    And dont accept the FEMA chip....its the mark of the beast

    Nice shots! Prometheus made some very esthetically pleasing units indeed. There`s one problem with the no tower elephant though. Prometheus never finished that bareback riding animation I`ve been told and nobody of those who still had it bothered to look for the wip to give it to us. As a result they stand/sink on/into the elephant`s body. For the armoured elephant it`s not noticeable that much, but for the regular one it`s a bit annoying.
    And you could give them Arachosia too at the start. If you don`t believe me see wiki(I`ve seen you`re using it):
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arachosia
    The one issue is that north of that should be Paropamisadae, not Drangiana and they should have that too:

    Drangiana was west of Arachosia and should start in Seleucid hands. Gedrosia should be west of the Indus and the land there should be something else (perhaps Abiria and Saraostus or Sindhi).

    What software do you use for the 2d graphics? Gimp or PS? I like how you`ve implemented the green mauryan controlled area on the preview map. I generally do a poor job at that.
    Also, have you made any modifications to the vanilla rtrpe map files apart from the map_regions.tga so far?

    PS. I merged the campaign maps on menu and used "selective color" on those regions to make them green.

    I have no modification on map except for new land-bridges

    Yes,I know the Prometheus units and yeah probs with Elephant riders,Florin can you use the normal Elephant rider animations???? I am not conversant in this area,sorry. His female archers are awesome,lol....you would fight the Mauryans just to see them ^_* . RCB has prometheus units also,and if you pm DavideCool maybe support from the Italian team for their Mauryans with this???? I only say as even though you are a cool designer,it is nice to not waste good resources.

    Is this ALEX based???? Not sure if new Mod or addition to your own submod???

    hmmm but RCB doesn't appear to have indian units on their previews. Anyway it's basically finished; unless other mods have different units I'd not borrow more. I have seen a few in Asia ton Barbaron though

    hmm all right. So it's all settled:

    - Arachosia to Mauryan
    - Drangiana to Free People
    - Carmania to Seleucid

    If player starts as Seleucid, Mauryan empire would be at war with him immediately, and it'd be effectively since Mauryan holds Arachosia, bordering Carmania
    And the Drangiana would continue to serve as a buffer zone between Seleucid and Bactria

    Drangiana should be seleucid. And not north of Arachosia for that matter. But you set them as you see fit of course.
