Don’t forget the confirmation of the camel scout. (Or other feudal stable unit.)
We haven’t seen the Ratha (Bengali UU) in Bengali Screenshot either.
But there was a wheel
I thought that was the chariot unit?
How should we call it then?
Ratha means CHariot in sanskrit
- No, its new.
- Its the wonder.

i mean if green it’s dravidians then the actual wonder for Indians civ can’t be the same. So we will see it changed for 3rd time.
Building like Bombard Tower was never used in Indian Architecture Set because of one civ’s limited tech tree. Hopefully now we can see it in action.
The Peacock Feather Symbol does it apply to all Ship Sails I wonder.

Renaming the Indians to Hindustani (pretty much the current Indian civ apparently), do you think they’ll also rename the Slavs to Rus by the same occasion ?

The current Indian/Hindustani wonder is probably going to the Dravidians indeed, it’s located at the southern tip of India
The challenges of actually having to split a civ instead of having it clearly based on one peoples group despite having a wider label

The Gujarati crest looks like a simplified version of the current Indian crest, possibly to make it look more distinctive when it’s low-res (the Indian one was one of the harder ones to identify at first glance). Will the Hindustani get a new design ?

Hindustanis are just the Indians with a new UU. So it’s 3 new civs and an updated civ. Leaked info points to this.

There may be some cosmetic modifications on top of that (crest wonder music?) though this will not impact how they play
Still wouldn’t explain the Hindustani tech tree though, because from what we’ve seen so far Gujarati seems quite different from the “Indians” we have.
Hindustani are the current Indians gameplay-wise, at least their bonuses are the same so I assume the tech tree is mostly unchanged. Gujarati only inherit the crest and Dravidians the wonder.
Where have you seen the tech trees ?
Just making some assumptions based on the leak and those two pictures:
The first indeed looks like the Gujaras, with the unique Camel Scout in feudal age that then gets upgraded to the regular Camel Rider, in addition of the regular scout and bloodlines.
It would be very strange for such civ to have zero cavalry upgrade for imperial age. I think the second pic if for either the Bengali or the Dravidian, they may have some elephant regional unit which would be their only viable choice in IA, but certainly not for a “camel civ”, of which the camel line would get the most of their +50% bonus damage. A camel rider with that bonus would cause less damage to cavalry, than a regular heavy camel and currently only one civ has the camel rider but not the heavy (Cumans), this would make this “camel civ” a bottom tier camel civ after a feudal rush. I lean toward giving this tech tree to the Dravidians, who have a very powerful unique tech for infantry (ignore melee armour), giving them awful cav but scary infantry in the late game.
