Ok, Orissa and Bengal involved too then.

List:
Calicut, Cochin, Gujarat, Travancore, Lanka, Orissa, Bengal, Vijayanagar (and successor states).

Sindh and Bahmanid Empire too?
Unless they include a coastal province I'm not inclined to think so.
 
Final list for all scenarios and knowledge of Malacca

Known provinces to be added:
1075 1076 1077 1078 1079 1080 1141 1143 677

Involved countries:
Calicut, Cochin, Gujarat, Travancore, Lanka, Orissa, Bengal, Vijayanagar, Sindh, Bahmanid Empire, Mysore, Ikkeri, Gingee, Madurai, Golconda, Bijapur, Ahmadnagar and Mughal Empire (in 1648 only).
 
Starting tech values in 1520 for India are a bit screwy. I'd suggest the following changes (arrow points to new value).

Bengal Land 4=>3
Gondwana Land 4=> 3
Sindh Land 4=>3 Naval 4=>2
Gujarat Land 4=>3 Naval 4=>2
Delhi Land 5=>3
Haihaya Land 4=>3
Rajputana Land 4=>3
 
I recently realized that the Sher Khan province-spec sequence is a little backwards at the moment. Considering that the person who owns Bihar isn't the ruler of the independent kingdom of Bihar, getting Sher Khan isn't a positive thing. Thus...

Code:
#(1522-1524) Sher Khan [color=red]Sequence[/color]
event = {
	id = 338296
	random = no
	province = 559 #Bihar
	name = "EVENTNAME338296" #Sher Khan
	desc = "EVENTHIST338296"
	#-#

	date = { day = 1 month = january year = 1522 }
	offset = 360
	deathdate = { day = 1 month = january year = 1524 }

	action_a = {
		name = "ACTIONNAME338296A" #[color=red]A capable deputy[/color] [color=yellow]His capable deputy lessens our influence[/color]
		command = { type = [color=red]gain[/color][color=yellow]lose[/color]building which = 559 value = courthouse } #Bihar
		command = { type = setflag which = [Sher_Khan_Tale] }
	}
}
During Buhlul Lodi's reign many Afghan Muslims migrated east to seek military service in Delhi. The son of one of these jagirdar (feudal vassals) was named Farid Sur, who quickly became renowned in Jaunpur for his mastery of Persian literature. In 1522 he entered the service of Bahar Khan NuhaniLohani, the ruler of Bihar, who rewarded his ability by appointing him as deputy (vakil) and also the tutor of his son, Jalal Khan. It was then that Farid gained the title 'Sher Khan' for single-handedly slaying a tiger.

Code:
#(1527-1528) Sher Khan leaves
event = {
	id = 338297
	trigger = {
		flag = [Sher_Khan_Tale]
	}
	random = no
	province = 559 #Bihar
	name = "EVENTNAME338297" #Sher Khan leaves
	desc = "EVENTHIST338297"
	#-#

	date = { day = 1 month = january year = 1527 }
	offset = 60
	deathdate = { day = 1 month = may year = 1528 }

	action_a = {
		name = "ACTIONNAME338297A" #[color=red]Strip him of his estates and banish him[/color] [color=yellow]Rejoice! They exiled that capable man[/color]
		command = { type = provincetax which = 559 value = 1 } #Bihar
		[color=red]command = { type = losebuilding which = 559 value = courthouse } #Bihar[/color]
	}
	[color=red]action_b = {

		command = { type = domestic which = aristocracy value = -1 }
		command = { type = treasury value = -50 }

		command = { type = sleepevent which = 230011 } #MOG: Sher Khan joins Babur's camp
	}[/color]
}

Code:
#(1528-1531) Sher Khan returns to Bihar
event = {
	id = 338298
	trigger = {
		flag = [Sher_Khan_Tale]
	}
	random = no
	province = 559 #Bihar
	name = "EVENTNAME338298" #Sher Khan returns to Bihar
	desc = "EVENTHIST338298"
	#-#

	date = { day = 1 month = july year = 1528 }
	offset = 90
	deathdate = { day = 1 month = january year = 1531 }

	action_a = {

		[color=yellow]command = { type = desertion which = 559 value = 1000 } #Bihar[/color]
	}
}
After serving in Babar's Babur's army for some time, Sher Khan returned to Bihar to once again become its deputy governor and guardian of his former pupil, Jalal Khan. With the death of his father the young king was the nominal ruler of Bihar, but in reality Sher Khan was the virtual head of state. Over the next four years he won over the army to his cause and elevated Bihar to a state of complete independence.

Code:
event = {
	id = 338299
	trigger = {
		flag = [Sher_Khan_Tale]
	}
	random = no
	province = 559 #Bihar
	name = "EVENTNAME338299" #The Widow of Chunar

Just wanted to quickly say (as I don't have the files on hand to post) that I realized that although we gave Mysore cores/events to help it perform conquests in the latter part of the 18th century, we forgot the crucial AI component. :eek:o Did a few tests and with the addition of an AI, Mysore does some conquering.

In line with the Maratha leader's I posted, we should have this change to represent the regency (really Tarabai just wanted control and used her son as a puppet):

Code:
historicalmonarch = {
	id = { type = 6 id = 081503 }
	startdate = {
		day = 3
		month = march
		year = 1700
	}
	deathdate = {
		day = 12
		month = january
		year = 1708
	}
	name = "[color=yellow]Tarabai ([/color]Shivaji II[color=yellow])[/color]"
	DIP = 6
	ADM = 6
	MIL = 6
	dormant = no
}
 
Small change to MAH_1650_Shivaji.ai
Unlike when I made the AI, I now know a little bit more about what they conquered/tried to conquer.

Code:
#

Reworked this event. It was Shivaji who began Maratha expansion southwards.

Fixes to these 3 events. It would be very aggravating to have these provinces stay revolt-prone forever just because MAH exists but didn't take the province.

Code:

		}[/color]
	}
	random = no
	province = 548 #Bombay
	name = "EVENTNAME338403" #The Marathas have been pacified
	desc = "EVENTHIST338403"
	#-#

The Marathi dreams of an independent kingdom taking Bombay have successfully been crushed.

I know India often comes out to be an awful mess no matter what, but to edge it slightly towards a more historical path - Golconda should be Shi'ite, whether it's revolting or if it's coming out of the Bahmanid Empire by event.

Why does it feel like I'm always asking for things to become Shi'ite? :)

Don't know what you guys think we should do with their culture though. The rulers were Turkish, but spoke Telugu and Urdu. My suggestion would be to give them Telugu and Hindi culture, and not Marathi. Also, from what I've read, Hyderabad should be a Telugu province, not Marathi.

Besides... Though the dynasty might be a Turkish one, the general upper class wasn't neccessarily (I think).

The Deccan states need a lot of work. I wouldn't give them Hindi culture as we don't want them having an easy time ruling Northern India. I think Hyderabad is probably Marathi due to the paucity of provinces in the region, but I'd be alright with turning it

Agreed, though, they should be shiite...although I'm wondering if we should just have an event converting them, as there isn't global reason that they most always be shiite. Why even the Safavids don't revolt that way. :)
