Played a Bhartiya game finally to complete the triad of India playthroughs, absolutely loved it. I do think the problem with the Indian unification war triggering was something with the Princely Federation's event chains, since in my game with them when I made the foreign policy decision against Delhi nothing occurred until I declared war manually, yet when I did it afterward against Bhartiya the event chain worked perfectly.
Also Milites, how much research did you put into your India rework? The amount of content in this update has just been phenomenal and I wanted to know how you got it all.
I played a game as PF and all worked perfectly.
I chose to try to persuade the two northern maharajas to revolt, they got arrested so the war started.
