Maurya - Antiquity Age Civilization

The Maurya arose from a land of incredible cultural diversity, but one reeling from war. From Chandragupta's conquests of Alexander the Great's successors, the dynasty reached its height under Ashoka, who embraced nonviolence and tolerance. Balancing open-mindedness with military might, the Maurya built an empire that was as wise as it was glorious—until its fall to an assassin's blade.

Well, it looks like the Indian bubble problem has finally been resolved. Quite possibly we will have the Mughals in era 2 and India in era 3.
 
I’d actually like to see a couple different Era 2 India choices, Ideally—the Chola have been on my wish list for years, Indian representation so often only revolves around the North. The Mughals are a must have, for sure, and Modern India in Era 3 feels like a certainty

0. WHAT? Wonders are now tied to specific civ and how Wonder Race works this time?
and yes I know what it will look like. an inspiration to Wat Phra Dharmakaya which located near Rangsit, and i've been there a couple of times for pilgrimages and meditation sessons.
1. Aayurawet. (อายุรเวท) What? Standing next to war elephants (Purabettarah) can heal units. seriously??
2. Doesn't Wiharn (วิหาร) associated to Religion more?
And what actually a function of Ajarns (อาจารย์) in Classical Indian culture compared to any Southeast Asian ones? ain't they're teachers? or masters of something?
3. And there are too many Sarts in my language that is a suffix for 'Science' or 'Knowledge'. I don't know if the term 'Wittayasart' (วิทยาศาสตร์) exists in original Indian Language? but it is in Modern Thai, it means 'Science'.
4. What are differents between generic settlers and Nagarika (นคริก)? does the term actually means 'Townsmen' or 'Citizen'? it is an extentions of the term 'Nakorn' (นคร) which means either 'City' or even 'Empire'. in Modern Thai it means 'Big Town', or 'Big City', or even 'Metropolis'/ 'Megalopolis' outright.
5. lotta headaches figuring out what romanized Old Indians terms would looks like in Modern Thais. since Mauriya India is a cradle of so many civilizations particularly many Southeast Asian countries including my homeland. and even my real name is made up of those Old Indian language. (but i ain't reveal it to you here :P)
 
WHAT? Wonders are now tied to specific civ and how Wonder Race works this time?

There are 7 wonders required to hit a particular cultural benefit at the end of the Age of Antiquity so it's safe to say not all wonders are tied to a specific civ.
 
Every Civ has an associated Wonder they can build at a discount. Not every Wonder is associated with a Civ. Every Civ can still build any and all Wonders if they have the Tech and space for it.

I hope that helps ^_^
 
I have right now gone through a lot of the recent screenshots.
As we in the meantime know, wonders are associated with a civilization.
And now I'd like to point out that the Maurya have the Sanchi Stupa (of which I could not find a screenshot), but also that we have screenshots of the Red Fort and the Taj Mahal.

My understanding based on someone who asked a dev somewhere on reddit that I can no longer find, is that the wonder associations are like “discounts” towards building the wonders, rather than being a locked association

Anyway, you make an interesting point because the Red Fort and Taj Mahal are both Mughal constructions that also hold large significance for the Modern Indian government.
 
I think I found a picture of the Sanchi Stupa, in the background:


zrzut-ekranu-1923-png.700121
it is near Roma (it's good that FXis uses the term that Romans, and Italians call the city of Rome). suggesting that same ol wonder race still stands.
but this is still a WIP.
