I'm quite aware of the old Indo-Persia thread, but I think it has somewhat a too broad scope, both India and Persia certainly deserve their own threads 
The Indian setup is still fairly awful for anybody who has ever looked at a real historical map of India - which is to a large extent due to the fact that there has always been a shortage of tags and thus inaccurate abstractions and complete errors were introduced for the sake of tag economy. However now that there are more than enough tags at our disposal, it is definitely time to try to create a truly accurate, balanced and playable setup in India. This will obviously require some work and discussion. I will summarize the results in this initial post as we progress along. Things that ought to be done are:
- Figure a setup in 1419 (including of course mostly which new countries need to be introduced for a good starting setup)
- agree on which additional countries ought to be introduced as revolters (which are going to be pretty many if we want to represent the breakup of the Bahmanids and Vijayanagar in a somewhat realistic way)
- Work out major events, leader, monarch and AI files and other stuff (like especially the cultural and religious setup) for the Indian countries
- Create events for the acquisition of European possessions in India, and generally for the relations between Indian states and Europeans
- Include stuff that has already been posted, but never got in until now (like the events that Khephren has scripted for Lanka)
Note that I am relatively ignorant on the subject and basically just wanted to get the ball rolling since nobody else seemed interested in this anymore, hence I will definitely need some input from the true experts
