This thread will hold the links to all of Bakuel's unit sets dealing with India.
For quite some time now, I've been in possession of a large cache of Bakuel's unreleased units for Indian subcontinent. Unfortunately, Bakuel himself has abruptly disappeared some months ago, and I can't reach him by either PM or e-mail. Therefore, I made a decision to release his units for the benefit of the modding community, especially since that was his own intention as well, as he did with his other major packs in the past. Unless he reappears, these are the last Bakuel's Civ4 units you'll see.
I take absolutely no credit for these units, as they are 100% Bakuel's work. It just so happened that he would usually send me the units he made before he'd release them on CFC, to hear my opinion on them. Some of them are already included in latest public Realism Invictus release, but many more of them were unavailable to the public in any way.
There will be a lot of packs that I've uploaded and, fortunately for me, Bakuel has supplied his own commentary to most of them in the letters he sent to me, so all the following information will be in his own words, with minimal edits from me (mostly removal of irrelevant parts of our discussions).
India can be divided into two halves, the Indo-Aryanian speaking north and Dravidian speaking south. I have always been a propionate of slicing Indian into two civilizations, Hindi and Dravidian as both were quite distinct throughout most of history and both are wonderful culture centers, and this will creep into my blabbering, so I must apologize ahead of time.
A brief description of India:
