Indian improvement mod (W.I.P.)

[impspy]

I plan to add some more unique unit groups. So far I plan to include:

-"Western"/"Eastern"
*Prussian -Powerful, highly trained infantry, good cavalry, given to Prussia with miulitary reform, other German states later with an 8 MIL monarch
*Iberian/Italian -Good, well trained Infantry, ok Cavalry, earlier canons
*British - Powerful early infantry, ok cavalry, good mid/late infantry
*German/Dutch - Great infantry, poor cavalry
*French -Poor early infantry, powerful early cavalry, mid/late infantry more powerful, earlier canons
*Napoleanic - Powerful, highly trained infantry, good cavalry, only availible to France as Revolutionary government with 7 MIL monarch, non german europeans get it with an 8 MIL monarch later
*West Slavic/Baltic - Great Cavalry, good infantry, earlier access to canons
*Balkan - Austrian, Hungarian, South Slavicm greek, etc. Powerful Cavalry, ok infantry
*Scandinavian - Great infantry, ok cavalry
*Russian - Good cavalry, poor infantry, (they get boosts to manpower, force limits, and attrition)\
*Coloniel - Powerful, well trained infantry, ok cavalry, only new world revolters
-Any of these can move to Napoleanic (except the Germans) if they have an 8 MIL monarch and are either a vassal of a country with Napoleanic units, or have high relations with one.

-Chinese
*Japanese - Powerful infantry, good cavalry
*Malay - ok infantry, poor cavalry
*Manchu - ok infantry, great cavalry
*Ming - poor infantry, poor cavalry (they get boosts to attrition)
*Indochinese - Great infantry, ok cavalry

-Muslim (all get earlier access to canons)
*Afghan - Powerful Infantry, great cavalry, balanced by the fact that Afghanistan is dirt poor
*Persian - Good infantry, good cavalry
*Maghreb - Good infantry, good cavalry
*Mamluke/Levent - poor infantry, great cavalry
*Ottoman - Great Infantry, great cavalry in the early/mid game, good infantry and cavalry late game

-Indian
*Indian - Poor infantry, good cavalry,
*Maratha- good infantry, great cavalry,
*Sikh - Great, highly trained infantry, good cavalry

-African
*African Horn - ok infantry, ok cavalry, can modernize to Persian or Ottoman with high enough relations and a 7 MIL monarch
*West African - ok infantry, poor cavalry, can modernize to Maghreb with high enough relations and a 7 MIL monarch
*Tribal African - poor all around units, but can easily upgrade with good relations and a 6 MIL monarch

But I could add more, if I can get some help. Just tell me the group, what country(ies) get it, which vanilla units to modify and how they will be improved.

I also plan to give Muslim, Ottoman, Persian, Chinese and Afghan unit types unique cannons for the early game to give them a bit of an edge (since these areas used canon earlier than Europe).

Do you have a map of the area or something? I did lots of "digging" for India and could find only bits and pieces, your work seems to be very detailed, which is awesome as India really needs some love.

For my province maps of India I use the old British ones. That helps avoid the many new and renamed cities of India.



That's the only one in the series I can find.

Imo for historical maps of India the Schwarzberg Atlas is unsurpassed. It has maps at regular intervals throughout the history of the subcontinent that are loaded with information and it has an index for all city and place names that refer to the same place. It also has a reference section that is longer than some historical atlases I own

Fortunately it's also available online:

It won't help with everything but it's a great place to start. Among other things it has a detailed map of the British administrative divisions as of 1857:

If anyone of you haven't found your way to it before I really recommend it.

I plan to move the Ottomans into the Eastern tech group, but leave them with their unique units.

Is it possible to do that?

[DanubianCossak]

Is it possible to do that?

Yeah its possible, the technology group should be separate from army group or whatever its called, when you westernize the tech group you need to westernize the army as well i think?

Oh, sorry, I thought he meant they would be in the same unit group too.

How's this going?

Uggh, I'm sorry for taking so long to respond; who knew my life would get more busy with summer :P I'm going to have to put this on hold for the time being, but thanks to everyone for your interest.
