Blue Monkey
Archon Without Portfolio
Intro
There have been several requests for my input on Indian units that are in the making. There are also some uniquely South Asian units Id like to see made. Ive kept putting off starting this thread to get all the images ready, but Ive given up on that idea. Id rather go ahead and post whats ready and provide a place for anyone interested in making units to ask for what Ive got raw that hasnt been posted. As with the Bazaar thread the focus will be on pre-gunpowder units, although I do have some stuff up through 19th century India.
Im going ahead and listing all the items I intend to include in this first post - which will evolve into a table of contents with links to the galleries and commentaries below. Eventually I hope that each gallery will have a paragraph or two of explanation; for right now there may only be a title, or a couple of words, until someone asks for more.
