I ended up posting this research in another topic, but I’ll share it here too, as it’s important to better understand India as a whole.
In the images below, we can see ALL of India’s great empires and their respective years of power and expansion.
Even those Empires that managed to conquer a lot of land, were not strong enough to maintain them for long, thus showing the eternal power struggle that existed in Medieval India.
In short, we may have many options for the future, be it a new architecture for the new Empire/Civi, but also new variants at some point.

India 760-1270
India 1330-1600
India 1640-1800
