ROTM: Rise Of The Mughals

[Luddi VII]

Yes Mughals, not Mongols.

The History

In 1526 Babur marched into Northern-India and defeated the sultan of Delhi. When Babur died, Humayun was ruling. But an Afghan
chief, Sher Khan Suni, conquered Delhi and Agra in 1540, and Humayun took them back just in 1555. It's now the year 1556 and Akbar has just got the power of the Mughal Empire, and it's just the beginning of a golden age period for the Mughal Empire.....

The Scenario


The scenario is set in October 1556 on a 100x100 map of India and lasts for 184 turns, 1 month per turn. It's only one playable civ, the Mughal Empire. The Mughal Empire is at war against the Marathas and the Bengal kingdom from the beginning of the scenario.

I'm glad there's finally a scenario about this
Downloading now.

I looked in the editor and I don't think the Europeans should have any colonies in India. They did'nt have tem until the 1700's I believ. They definatley should'nt have Bombay it was only during Arugnzeb's rule that he gave bombay to the British and that was when the Mughal Empire was decaying not rising. Also I don't think they have Calcutta either.

 

[Luddi VII]

Thanks silver! When I placed the cities I looked mostly on maps from 1600-1700's. But did someone else have some of the cities befor the Europeans?

 

[silver 2039]

Here's a map I found.



As you can see Bombay, Calcutta and all those other cities were not contolled by Europeans. Only Goa was owned by Portogul.

 

[Luddi VII]

Great map you found!! Then I maybe should give the Marathas the cities the Europeans have and delete the European civ.

 

[silver 2039]

Keep Goa European it was owned by Portogul sometime in 1500. I'm not sure about Pondicherry I'll have to look into that.

 

[Luddi VII]

Ok. I will update the scenario later this week.

 

[Luddi VII]

Version 1.1 is out!!

 

[Mobilize]

Portugal definantly had colonies during this time. I'm not sure about the English, I know they had atleast traded during this time.

Looks good, I'm gonna play it now.

Great map you found!! Then I maybe should give the Marathas the cities the Europeans have and delete the European civ.

By that time, the Portuguese had colonies on the west coast in Diu, Bassein, Goa , Daman, Bombay and Mangalore.

 

[Luddi VII]

Thanks!
The "European Colonial Powers" is representing all the European powers that had colonies in India by that time.

 

[Metacomet]

Thanks!
The "European Colonial Powers" is representing all the European powers that had colonies in India by that time.

By that time only the portugese had colonies in India, the coast in Ceilan was also a portugese dominated area. For the other europeans powers they had colonies in India after 1600.

Problem: When I load ROTM, after 30% I get a message: Missing entry in "Text\PediaIcons.txt" ICON_BLDG_Taj_Mahal. I have checked the pediaicons and the civilopedia files and it's in there, everything appears to match. Is anyone else getting this?

 

[Luddi VII]

Check that the folder name stands in the editor. Look in Scenario Properties/Scenario Search folder.
