Saw this on steam last night, always glad to see more civs added there. I don't really like the splash screen though. Is there a better splash picture that could be used? Both the leader picture and map look a bit funky.

I have always been pretty poor with art, and my choices from google images. The map could use some improvement. Sadly though, that was the only picture of Rajendra I could find that actually showed him, not just a statue or something.

I can imagine that would be a hard thing to find as far as a rendering of him. Maybe find something contemporary that might not be him specifically.

I've been testing this civilization, and I think their UA is a bit overpowering. I settled my capital near a long river and by turn 40 (on epic speed) was getting +9 culture (with tradition and monument), and +10 gold. Perhaps they were built to be like the Huns: bonuses are great early, not so much later. What do you guys think?

I don't think so. In higher difficulties trying to get those tile bonuses by growing your city and building the building will slow you down a lot when it comes rushing. I think it's good for tall empires. Maybe ICS.

Thank you for adding of the Tamil Chola empire for CIV 5. The portrait that you have added is not the Emperor Rajendra Chola I, but the Tamil comedian Vadivelu.

I can help you with infomation and pictures, Here is some pictures with portrait of the Rajendra Chola I, flag and map of the Chola empire.
If you want, I can try to design the Chola map little like that of the Civ V.

I took a few minutes to take a couple photos and throw them together to make a leaderhead.. It still isn't Rajendra, but he looks similar enough to fool the average joe..
So, if you'd like to, you can use it.. If I feel up to it I may make a little more art for you in a little while..
