Soldiers of the Maurya Empire of India, first empire to unite the Indian Sub-continent. Would also work as soldiers for earlier Indian armies, such as that of King Porus.

Love them! Great animations, especially for the elephants.

If I can have one critique it would be that the elephants look African with those big ears. :/

Love the elephant units! They look really cool.

You should enter one of your units into the monthly competition

Beautifully textured and animated. I really like the cavalry, too. You're just knocking them out left and right, Balam-Agab.

They actually have an "indian elephant" morph applied to them. The original African ears are actually a lot bigger. It's, unfortunately, just due to the model's limitations. It does have the proper head shape, though...

Too bad about the model. But they're still great.

Just caught that. Porus was a contemporary of Chandragupta Maurya - who conquered the region roughly 6 years after the Battle of Hydaspes River. Your main point stands, however. These units would work well for both earlier and later Iron Age and Middle kingdoms period South Asian civs. Including Sri Lanka (imho) as well as the mainland. Some would also be suitable for their contemporary Indianized states of SE Asia (imho).
