So I'm pretty excited at the idea of playing a game with British India and started one up just to get an idea of their political/diplomatic and slider situation. I'm liking the game so far, but was wondering if anyone had any good advice on what to do with them. It seems like they should be pretty challenging, hamstrung to a degree by their initial slider positions (not bad positioning, but not great for flexibility's sake) and a general inability to take a lot of early independent action to grow the prospects of the nation.

Anyway, I gave a few quick searches but think I missed any C.O.R.E. specific AARs and was just wondering what people have done with them in the past.

Any anecdotal stories, suggestions or advice appreciated. In the meantime I'll try my hand at a first run with them.

Also, are there m/any events specific to India in C.O.R.E. presently?
 
Events I truly do not know - I have to check to make sure. On the plus side, British India does have quite a decent set of model graphics, so that will help in getting a good 'feel' of it as a country.
 
Not very many events for India at all - certainly nothing especial that I recall. It is a British puppet, as well, so that may prove rather limiting on certain issues (can't trade with any except your puppet master, for example).

Hmmm, I have not found this to be the case playing as India! In fact, the easiest thing I was able to accomplish as India, via manual trades (although somewhat limited by my lack of convoy ships), is a favorable trade balance with nations other than the UK. I assumed this was an intentional difference to allow some flexibility & choice on the part of the player.
 
Perhaps something AoD introduced or fixed... Wouldn't be the first time. :)
