Look at that horrid red colour, and other ones. India must be cleansed of said colours until it's all purple!

Oh God, Dalip is going straight into a absinthe driven nihilist depression. Cool ( BtW, nice touch on the liquid shape inside the bottle )

And really, that map needs a cleanup. Too much non-purple there

The Panjabi Nationalist revolts ought to cheer Dalip up a bit.

My King, Dalip! The Reactionaries will help you restore the Order and Strength of India, and restore you to your right as Absolute Monarch!

(seriously, Reactionaries can help you undo political advances)

Great update again. Not having played this game at all -- what kind of restrictions in-game is Dalip facing with his new title?

Of course, it would probably be the case that while Dalip is the constitutional figurehead monarch of India he remains the guy in charge of Panjab, which also happens to be federal India's largest and most powerful state...

is Daiip's black robe indicative that he is having a bit of a goth moment ... it does seem as if he's lost his mojo

I actually quite like the borders of this India, looks not too far removed from some of the RL Indian based Empires of yesteryear. Looks like Dalip will be thrown into yet another period of absinthe binges - I wonder what wonderous visions he shall recieve.

Hello Selzro, I read all your previous AARs (just finished the Ionian Islands) and just want to thank you for the excellent entertainment.
This made me try out Panjab too, but in AHD westernizing seems much harder than in vanilla. Anyway I'm looking forward to Dalip's next Adventures

Heh, I didn’t know that! Sounds like a good constitution for the time – limits the king explicitly, while leaving the window open for reforms in other areas.

Click to expand...

¨

There's also a wonderfully ambigious sentence: "Konungen äger att allena styra riket tillsammans med riksdag och regering." That can either mean "The king alone shall rule the country in cooperation with parliament and the government" or "The king shall ONLY rule the country in cooperation with parliament and the government."

Really, it's a masterpiece of saying absolutely nothing. No wonder it laste for 160 years.

That's a very European-looking crown for an Indian monarch like Delip to be wearing...

Ah, poor Dalip. But otherwise, great job in creating India . If you remember though, what did you demand from the British?

my favorite AAR just keeps getting better keep up the good job, and just seeing dalip with that bottle of what i assume if alcohol makes me think it would be funny if he became a alcoholic.
