Here you see some troops from all over India, from south to north.We have much more for you. We'll post it someday later :D
Mauryan:
Ksatriya Dhanavihna (Mauryan Early Longbowmen)
No more slow tribals' bows for us! We now utilize a nice wooden bow, a "recurved" longbow. Now we can shoot our arrows just as well as before, but far faster. Just give the word, and a hail of death will fall upon your target. We also carry swords, but these are for making quick work of weak enemies or as a last resort; we are no Yodha swordsmen.
The Indian longbow was a fearsome, tall weapon, comparative in size to what the English developed later on. However, significant differences exist between these men and their medieval counterparts; while the Anglo-Welsh longbow came from the relatively rare yew tree, the Indian one came from bamboo, making it cheaper. However, this longbow was too slow, so the Mauryans developed a wooden bow that retained the old bow's range and penetration capabilities while greatly increasing firepower capabilities. However, it is no match for the later English bow; the best Anglo-Welsh longbowmen could shoot 12 arrows a minute accurately at a range of 300 meters.
Among the four different types of Indian armies are the Ksatriyas. The Mauryan king commands four types of Indian armies and the best among them are those from the core of the empire, the Ksatriyas. These men are born to war caste of people who are warlike yet well disciplined by the warrior ethics of Arthashastra. Ksatriyas were also trained in sreni (guilds) but what differentiated them from their sreni counterparts was their caste. Ksatriyas were trained by a recognized martial arts teacher in sreni-funded and royally maintained facilities. Other sreni produce lesser-quality solders who fight for livelihood, unlike men from the Ksatriya caste who fight for glory and protection of their people.
Ksatriya Yodha (Mauryan Swordsmen)
Hail, Rajan! The young from the professional Ksatriya class, we form the backbone of your army, along with the Kuntabhata spearmen. After the archers have done their job or are forced to retire, send us in as an iron fist to sweep aside your foes, with our elders (the Kuntabhata) watching our flanks and back. Utilize us at the head of your PadmaVuhya (lotus) formation, for we are some of your finest infantry. As proud Ksatriyas, we wear Kavcha (metal armour) and a long, thick turban. Our tool of killing is a fine Aari longsword, while our off-hand bears a tough Thada (shield).
Historically, the Yodha came from the younger Ksatriyas, who were more eager, imptetuous, and invigorated in battle, as opposed to the Kuntabhata, who came from the elder Ksatriyas and were more disciplined and defensive. This difference is notably similar to the Romans' system: Hastati/Principes 'legionary' infantry came from younger men, while the Triarii hoplitai/heavy spearmen came from the elder, battle-hardened veterans.

Mauryan Sainika (Mauryan Levy)
In times of foreign invasion and civil disorder it is difficult to keep the populace (and battlefront) in line with a lower number of men, no matter their or their general's skill. In time when numbers matter, the old and weak retire and the [untrained] able men among the Ksatriyas are called to arms. The veterans among them consider this as another chance to win glory in battle and/or death in their King's name. Lacking proper equipment, these men equip themselves with hunting weapons and other low quality or handmade war gear. They carry a light bamboo spear, a bamboo longbow, and a wooden shield. Though they are of poor quality, they make up for this in energy and lust for glory. Still, these men are not true soldiers, and should be used for archery and nothing more.
The Indian longbow was a fearsome, tall weapon, comparative in size to what the English developed later on. However, significant differences exist between these men and their medieval counterparts; while the Anglo-Welsh longbow came from the relatively rare yew tree, the Indian one came from bamboo, making it cheaper.

However, it is no match for the later English bow; the best Anglo-Welsh longbowmen could shoot 12 arrows a minute accurately at a range of 300 meters. These longbowmen are equipped with the old-style bamboo longbow, meaning they are cheaper but not really as effective.

Other sreni produce lesser-quality solders who fight for livelihood, unlike men from the Ksatriya caste who fight for glory and protection of their people.
Pandyan:
Sathriya Ieetipadai (Pandyan Spearmen)
Hail, Arasan! We are your battle-hardened veteran spearmen, drawn from more elder Ksatriyas, and work in tandem with the almost-hyperactive Yodha swordsmen to form the backbone of your (and any good Indian commander's) army. Use us as flank-guards, advance guards for the archers, and behind the swordsmen in case any foe (especially horsemen) should get the better of them. We are the spearhead (quite literally) of the Chakraviyuha (impenetrable wheel) formation, and roll over outnumbered foes in this way. As proud Sathriyans, we wear Kavasam (metal armour) and a helmet. As our vel (spear) delivers death, our tough Kedayam (shield) blocks any foolish attempt to harm us.
Among the four different types of armies in India are the superior Sathriyans. They are very similar (culture-wise) to the Vedic Ksatriyas, such as those prominent in the Mauryan Empire, despite mostly being Dravidian and not Indo-Aryan. These men are born to the disciplined warrior-caste governed by the warrior ethics of Arthashastra, whose teachings were translated as Sanskrit became dialectized, much like Vulgar Latin. Sathriyans were also trained in sreni but what differentiated them from their normal sreni counterparts was their caste. Sathriyans were trained by a recognized martial arts teacher in sreni-funded and royally maintained facilities. Other sreni produce lesser-quality solders who fight for livelihood, unlike men from the Ksatriya caste who fight for glory and protection of their people.
Southern India AOR:
Thazhvar Sirupadai (Indian Tribal Sicklemen)
The Dravidian Hindu tribes were fearsome warriors in their own way. They used the Aruvaazh (or Sickle), A single sided heavy sword. They inhabited through out south Indian in the regions. They wore no armor much like the North Indian tribes. These men are more spiritual and fanatic hence are very war like in nature. Their attitude gives them tirelessness and ferociousness in battle.
Historically, Tribe leader king Erumayooran commanded most number of these men. He allied with the Cheras and fought thge Pandyans when Pandyans were lead by a 16 year old King Pandiyan Nedunchezhiyan. Cheras and the Erumayoor tribe and 5 other tribes thought the young Pandyan king in-capable of leading a battle and attacked the capital Madurai. But the Young king who knew the plans of these tribes and the Chera King was prepared and won the Battle against the mighty army that was lead by 7 generals Chera king, Erumayoor king and 5 other tribe leaders. This was the beginning of the Pandyan conquest and these tribes men who were challenging in their Initial expansion were later subjected to their cause.
All units, unit names and unit descriptions are WIP unless stated. They could and probably will receive small changes
We hope you enjoyed this preview. Expect more previews in the future.

유닛 프리뷰 2.
Maurya
Ksipati Ksatriya (Ksatriya Javelineer)
No longer can we rely on tribals alone to do skirmishing work for the Empire; us Ksatriyas now fill those roles. Our arms carry several heavy javelins that double as shortspears, weapons we have quickly become familiar and skilled with. They lack the range of the bamboo javelins of the tribals, but they have much more penetrating power and melee capability. Though we by no means intend to fight in melee, we have a breastplate to protect us in case we are caught by light or medium horsemen, and we are quite capable against our lighter counterparts. Heavier troops will surely spell our doom if we are caught by them; it is best for us to retreat behind the main line after our skirmishing job is done.

Other sreni produce lesser-quality solders who fight for livelihood, unlike men from the Ksatriya caste who fight for glory and protection of their people.
Pratradhaka Ksatriya (Ksatriya Heavy Spearmen)
Indo-Greeks, Sathavahanan, and others have forced change in our old tactics. Now we fight with overhand spears like the Yavanas; our new weapon-system, coupled with a Zirastraana helmet and Kavcha (with modified shoulder pads now attached to the arms), and a longsword for aggressive fighting, makes us some of your most versatile troops. Nor are we green; all among us are older, experienced veterans, as can be seen by our mastery of both spear and sword; we should be rightfully considered an elite among Ksatriyas, worth every coin we are paid.
Like before the reforms, spearmen are recruited from the older, more experienced Ksatriyas, who make up for vigor with confidence and many years of practice and warfare. The Pratradhaka are at least partially influenced by Alakchandra's hypaspistai (and other Hellenic/Yavana infantry) given their overhand spears, the combination of this with a longsword, and the helmet was almost certainly based off of Indo-Greek models. Eventually, even they did not matter as the Mauryan kingdom was ended by a military coup in 185 BCE, and this weakened the defense of the Khyber Pass. Pressured by the Saka, the Indo-Greeks poured through the pass five years later and established the Indo-Greek kingdom there, until that too was overrun by Saka between 80 BCE and 20 CE.

Pandya
Sathriya Kuthraipadai (Pandyan Auxiliary Melee Cavalry)
What foolish light soldier dares approach our army? A dead light soldier! We ride down such fools, utilizing our Vaazh longswords in both pursuit and protracted melee, as we specialize at both. But we are no Yodha swordsmen; our unarmoured horses, despite their (or any horse's) endurance and hardiness, lack our metal protection, and as such are vulnerable to weapons, as they are a much easier target than we are. Though brave we may be, we are not suicidal and nor are our mounts; we dare not charge any formed heavy infantry, especially one featuring polearms. As proud Sathriyans, we wear Kavasam (metal armour) and a helmet. Our tool of killing is a fine Vaazh longsword, while our off-hand bears a tough Kedayam (shield) and the reins.

Sathriya Velkonda Kuthraipadai
Our lances are at your service, Arasan. Know well that your flanks are safe as long as we guard them, and we can hold them in melee for some time. We deliver a fierce charge to enemy cavalry and infantry flanks, and rout foolish light troops with ease. Yet we are no cataphracts or Yavana "Hetairos" cavalry; we cannot handle prepared spearmen. As proud Sathriyans, we wear Kavasam (metal armour) and a helmet. Our tools of killing are a lance and a fine Vaazh longsword, while our off-hand bears a tough Kedayam (shield) and the reins. Our mounts are also armoured at the front for greater effectiveness in a charge, to somewhat help against defenders.

Regional Units
Thazhvaar Vetaiyarpadai (Indian Tribal Hunters)
Much like the Northern Pattiyodha's, these are some good long-bowmen or even better longbowmen. What differed them from the Pattiyodha's was their weekness in close fighting. These are treditional hunters and are not well expertized in fighting men. but can strike their arrows just better than anyone could.
Historically, Many minor groups of hunting tribes that wandered around places in south India who needed a permanent place to settle and some means of better livelihood offered their service to Kings and other greater tribes.
Thazhvaar Iettiyerivarpadai (Indian Tribal Javelneers)
Much like the northern Ksipathika's these were skirmishers. But had a slight difference. One is their language, these spoke tamil, telugu or tulu. while the northern counter-parts spoke sanskrit or pali. Second, men such as these where hardened hill men who can fight better on close than their northern counter-parts not because of equipments but experience.
Historically these were more employed by the Pallava kingdom that existed north of the Chola kingdom. Fought many battles against the Pandyans aiding the Cholas. Later fought under the Pandyas after the Cholas were defeated and subjected under the Pandyas.
Once again, all units are WIP and probably will receive changes.
We hope you enjoyed this preview. Expect more in the near future.
Yuddha Rathah(Imperial War Chariots)
Rathah or a Chariot is an important part of Mauryan or any Indian army, considered next only to the Gajah or Elephants. After the Elephants the Chariots formed the major role in any Indian army. Any battle depended on the Elephants and Chariots. The Chariots of India were totally different from the Greek or Persian once. The Indian chariots were heavy onces built using tough quality wood and coated over the wood are metal sheets and are highly decorated, making them Heavy. Chariots such as these are pulled by 4 or evem more horses and carry 4-6 men crew. The 4 horses themselves are lightly armored. The crew shoot out arrows using their longbows perfectly even when the chariot is moving at high speeds. The chariot is also faster compared to others because of being pulled by 4 horses.
Historically Chariots such as these existed prominantly in India and dates back even to the Iron age. Mentions of these chariots are discribed even in the greatest Epic of Mahabarata. Though there is not enough proof of their existence in the Vedic period. Yet there are mentions of these chariots in the Ajanta caves and edicts of Arthashaasthra. Mauryans and other great kingdoms of India used chariots such as these extremely well. And the use of these chariots in the 3rd century BC are clearly stated in Pulavar Magan - A Story of a Poet turned Warrior of the Pandyan Kingdom, in which mentions about the chariots of this time period, Their perfomance in war are stated as a poem. These Chariots were ultimate machines of Indian War-Craft.
Yuddha Gajah (Imperial War Elephants)
Elephants were an Integral part of any army of the Mauryans and other Indian Kingdoms and Tribes. The Yuddha Gajah are war elephants trained and maintained by the Ksatriyan families of the Empire. These elephants are better trained than the elephants of the tribes for large scale wars, hence don't run amok easily. Elephants are mounted with a tower at their backs. The tower carries 2-3 archers. The Tower itself is decorated and covered at the top showing the material prowess and also providing a sunscreen to the archers. The rider used the Elephant itself as a weapon to toss, gore and stomp enemies.
Historically these type of elephants existed in the core part of the Mauryan empire were the Saamraat had direct influence and Ksatriyas were dominant. Significant difference between the Elephant troops of the Tribes and Ksatriyas are the training and way of using them in war. Ksatriyas usually arched from the towers while the Tribes usually threw their bamboo javelins. These Imperial elephants were trained to fight on most ground and better at open plains, the tribes on the other hand trained elephants to fight better even at dense forests. Even used Elephants to surprise the enemy by ambushing. These type of elephants were contained in India.
Among the four different types of Indian armies are the Ksatriyas. The Mauryan king commands four types of Indian armies and the best among them are those from the core of the empire, the Ksatriyas. These men are born to war caste of people who are warlike yet well disciplined by the warrior ethics of Arthashastra. Ksatriyas were also trained in sreni (guilds) but what differentiated them from their sreni counterparts was their caste. Ksatriyas were trained by a recognized martial arts teacher in sreni-funded and royally maintained facilities. Other sreni produce lesser-quality solders who fight for livelihood, unlike men from the Ksatriya caste who fight for glory and protection of their people.
And, an improved model of the mace wielding elephant.
Gadhaikonda Yaanai (Mace Wielding Elephant)
Gadhaikonda Yaanai or a Mace Wielding elephant as translated from tamil are specially trained elephants. The fittest and heaviest elephants are hand picked by the Kings own supervision and trained to carry a heavy load and also to wield a heavy mace to attack enemies and enemy elephants with ease. The elephant also is armored specially with a single sheet of metal of 1-2 inch thickness and have swords attached to them, making the elephant really a force to beware of. A Huge tower is mounted on the backs and carries 3-5 men. The most experienced men are those whoe train and ride the elephant to the battle field.
Historically this highly trained elephants were prominent in south India throught the Dravidian regions and Kingdoms like the Pandyas and Cheras were finansially fit enough to afford such king of elite king of elephant troops. Pandyas and Cheras were the best when it comes to Elephant warfare. Several stocks of such elephants were used in wars. These elephants also carried large amount of supplies duing war. Other elephants usually fear to get on to these king of elephants by the sight of appearence.
