Now, I know that muslims did penetrate pretty far into India. BUT
Was India as undeveloped as it appears in game at 867? It seems bad, about on par with places like England. I mean, was Paris really bigger than Delhi in 867? When I look at stats, my liege, who is well loved by his vassals and owns nearly all of Northwest India, appears very low, past France, Persia, even Ruthenia. When Saffarids attacked, it took all of India north of the Deccan Empire to just barely win (holy order was not used). Most of what I read suggests India should be at least as nice as Middle East, and certainly able to cope with the shah of Persia (who lost his event troops). Is this really how it was?
