My other thread over in ASB (increasingly-butterflied Age of Discovery with magic chucked in) was just terrible, so I thought I'd be ambitious and try my hand at an Indian-subcontinent-wank. AFAIC, India seems about as eligible as Europe for developing some pretentious little empires to bother China with. Reasons: a bunch of small competing states, copious natural resources, other civilisations about to sponge technology off (China, Persia, Southeast Asia, even the Arabian Peninsula), big agricultural packet, good trading position, nice protruding shape so it can impose its will on Indonesia, East Africa, Southeast Asia, Oceania, before it gets over to the Americas and Europe and whatever.

I don't like getting too bogged down in details, but I'll do my best to throw plenty in for colour.

Now, before I begin, one question: any interest?
