Winning the Historical Way is a series of posts where I ask the community for help with some of the tougher UHVs (for me anyway) with the added caveat that it is EXTRA historical. What these means is that I achieve the UHV required while also trying to achieve these goals in descending order of importance:
Building all wonders historically built by the civilization I'm playing
Not building any wonders not historically built by it
Not Changing to civics that do not make historical sense (no Republic for China for example)
Settling or conquering all historical and contested areas
Avoiding settling or conquering all foreign areas.
I've not played India in a while, but I recall the first goal (build the Buddhist and Hindu holy shrines by 100 BC) being laughably easy as long as you know what you are doing and the second (Build 20 temples by 700 AD) being somewhat easy as long as you make sure to build Military units to defend from barbarian invasions as well. However, Starting after that, I have difficulty building up the necessary population in comparison with the rest of the world. I know that Pop growth is exponential (There are more people in one size 2 city than two size 1 cities), but even building and working tiles that encourage growth don't seem to do the trick.
