It’s so shameful and disturbing that Microsoft decided to put foreigner invaders to represent India , it’s like making British East India company to represent a occupation .
Delhi sultanate is ruler from Turkish origins who came from West and occupied and stayed here .
The real representative of Indian civilization is Mauryan and gupta Empire .
Most importantly gupta Empire which was there from 2nd century to 6th , qwalify to be a ancient as well as medevil civilization .
This civilization gives the world “zero” this civilization gave the 10 decimal counting method .
At that time half the world economy reside in this empire .
Giving india the nick name of “sone ki chidiya”
It was the first civilization to unite majority of Indian subcontinent and beyond ,
Delhi sultanate don’t make justice with native Indian civilization .
I request developers to give proper representation of native Indian dynasties in designing indian civilization .
Civilization 6 is the game which have proper representation of Indian civilization . They used the native leaders .
I will soon post a suggested design for gupta Empire in game
Although I appreciate you sticking up for the native peoples of India, Age of Empires4 is set after the death of Charlemagne 814ad and ends with the Renaissance Period17th century. The high medieval period makes up the meat of the game.
Even though it would be super cool to see an Indian faction that isn’t an imperialist power, it has a somewhat low chance of making it into the game. Is there another Indian faction who ruled India around those given dates?
Agreed. If this was AoE2, I wouldn’t rule it out completely because back there we had some civs that were more Late Antiquity-Early Middle Ages than High Middle Ages, like the Huns or the Goths. But Age of Empires IV doesn’t seem to be the setting for a civilization that ended in the middle of the VI century, at all.
I understand the frustration, especially since the Delhi Sultanate massacred many Indians because of their culture and religion. Here is to hoping for a ruling Indian faction!
Maybe I understood it wrong, but I read the introduction of the Delhi Sultanate in the game. There is no mention of Indians? Maybe they just regarded it as a country worthy of being used in medieval games, rather than a country representing the Indians?
Then there should be representation of Indian in this game as delhi don’t do that , u can’t ignore 20% of world population . Btw delhi sultanate is nowhere worthy to take priority over gupta or maratahs , that empire was full of religious procecution and oppression .
If they thing delhi was worthy , then they need some evaluation of how to chose a civ .
These are the 4 in-game Chinese dynasties
Tang (618-907)
Sang (960-1279)
Yuan (1271-1368)
Ming. (1368-1644)
I see nothing ancient here except maybe the Tang but they are only one of 4 dynasties of in game Chinese civ
So they have representation of all dynasties ??? They have representation of ancient dynasty , so it absolutely fair to have representation of Gupta’s and marathas . They were better than delhi
Because none of the vanilla civs were in early middle ages . It’s seems out of place for the game to have civs that were exclusively in the early middle ages .
There are better choices for more Indian civs such as Bengalis (Palas , Senas , Bengal Sultanate) or Tamils (Cholas and Pandyas) which extended into high middle ages .
Vanillas ??? Well aoe4 , itself is vanilla , it’s first . If u consider aoe or aoe2 vanilla , then they do have older civs . Bangalis ? They were small regional empire , even at their time there were bigger empire like Parmar,
Agree for tamil empire , tamil was good enough empire to consider .
