welcome back all! here comes the most important part of the Buddhist dark ages, after this (
very long)age comes the Indian Inquisition, after that short era comes the Era of Enlightenment, which last until the end of the game, enough about the future updates, let's get to this one!
just to let you guys know, here are (FMBI)The Feudal Monarchy of Buddhist India's civics
Dear people of india, it is I your king, Siddhartha Asokasson
And i hereby declare holy war against the scum of western pidsia, known as persis!
oh and i now have a new domestic advisor- WAIT HE DIED! Fine we can keep the old one...

civ 3 FA: wazzup mah brothas!
*crowd cheers*
crowd: BEST...SPEECH...EVER!
that one was for you mr.random
siddhartha stared at his men, they were able and ready bodied, and persepolis was in the bag! the horse archers were running late, but there was no time, so the march began...
the horse archers took 2 worker, who were quickly slayed and replaced by faster Indian workers (these fast workers would one day work for AT&T when computers were discovered)
the men were sourounding the cities, they elephants stayed in camps while catapults bombarded the city around the clock, horse archers ran around in raiding parties, pillaging villages and and small towns, farms and mines, and all-around crippling the Persian economy
"It was a massive battle, after the walls were weak and the militia was part down, brave catapults would go on suicide missions, most dies, but some lived, in order to weaken the garrisons. after that was over, elephants charged, one after the other, weakening, dying, and winning. I can't speak for the other groups there, but my group, charged the weakened crossbows, we crossed the whole in wall, and as we charged, they used the strange bows to shoot faster and stonger than our archers, but we had height and large heavy animals on our side, the battle was a victory, i still remember charging, throwing my javelin, and loosing arrow after arrow, i saw the pain of death in each man's eyes that my arrows hit, but these unholy wretches deserved it! At the end of the day, Persepolis fell, our elephants were still many, and i had lived another day, through another siege, through another battle for greatness- Abhay the Anuj in his book
The second Indo-Persis war
While persepolis was still in revolt, the idea of bureaucracy came up, the state did not let it become a guiding principle however, and the feudalism was still one of the main policies.
here is me and some spear attacks
"I charged from atop my elephant, the long bowmen and simple wooden spears, we had bronze and arrow, they had wood and arrow, we had height, they had a bunch of defenses, as i led on foot with a jeweled sword, i realized i was the only one in the army to never be a 5 moon general and never be considered as "great" i would question the king latter, anyways, i charged the enemy, sword above my head i brought the blade down and...- Abhay the Anuj,
The 2nd Indo-Persis War
