Why did you jumble them? Intentional?

why?
Because these are
Rusâ
Polish
and Bohemian architectures - and notice the differences! (Note that those are just the 3 civs the Slavs represent that should have been split into Rusâ, Bohemians and Poles â even though very similar in comparison to western/northern/southern europe, they are still more different than Indian cultures/architectures that span the entire peninsula) â and i even neglected the south/southwestern slavs;)

Images are not in order of the text you listed.

precisely. They were not in order just so that you could google/search for them and notice that they were not ordered, and neither were the indian ones (but you only noticed with the slavic ones, so this is also a âproofâ of the indian similarity).

Is that a people group? No? Then how is it a civ?
Show this one as well please. Are you still trying to find the most similar pic to fit your narrative?
Try taking the extremes from east and west or north and south. show us how they are similar clothing, architecture, part of one empire.
Plus the differences in languages for the translation of a particular sentence for slavic languages and subcontinentâs languages.
Bad argument.
Itâs the same as comparing Notre Dame Cathedral and CathĂ©drale Sainte-CĂ©cile dâAlbi.
Architecture may also differ from city to city.
I bet this top picture is from North India and the bottom picture is from South India.
Whatâs the solution to the problem?
Vijayanagarans - a new civ representing southern India.
?
Get over yourself and think for a moment.
In this game we already have civs that refer to states instead of groups of peoples, e.g. Burgundians, and we have neglected civs, e.g. Slavs (who are Rus).

Vijayanagar is just one of the empires of Kannada people. Their other medieval age empires are Kadamba, Rashtrakuta, Chalukya, Hoysala.
Itâs bad argument?

The problem with that is how are you going to make them unique from eachother?

With unique units like these:

With that logic, all you need is a Unique unit to differentiate civs. That is not the case, you have a weak argument

Yeah, you can find several different buildings in even one city. I posted 3 churches/cathedrals. What you showed is 1) university? 2) temple?
besides, you only showed some game pictures. So, instead, point me to all the different indian style during ONE period, and iâll be glad to see the differences.
And we still donât see anything really unique from indiansâŠbut with europeans, we could have polish cavalry or bohemian gunpowder + war wagons, while keeping the slavic (rus) siege and infantry;)
as a fair person, i might even claim that poles are kinda represented by lithuanians or even magyars regarding their cavalry and religious zeal, so renaming lithuania to poland-lithuania and adding bohemians (necessary!) and vlachs or some southern slavs (serbs/croats) could be fine.
From a european view everyone living in india is an indian in africa all are africans north american natives are red indian,but that dosent make it true.

Perhaps it would be good to present the variety of Indian culture to get better understanding. Otherwise I am not convinced there is a need for 3, 4, 5, 6 etc civs dedicated to India.

Thinking that Islam (North Indian) and Hindu (South Indian) is the same is hilarious and it shows your ignorance and partiality.
Kannadas and Tamils have the too similar building sets - WOW, neighbours have similar architecture sets, lets delete Burmese and Britons from the game, because their architecture is too Khmer or Frank.
Bohemians would be redundant, Teutons cover them perfectly with their gunpowder and infantry - and Poles as well, there are already tons of Eastern European civs which are similar to Poles.
At the same time we have Indians to cover North India with Camels and Gunpowder. Camels are not native to most of India.
Bengalis: Monk+Elephant civilization
Oriyas: Archer+Navy civilization
Tamils: Navy+Infantry civilization
Kannadas: Infantry+Cavalry civilization
We donât need Croatian-Serbian-Vlach duchies and small kingdoms:
until we donât have big empires like these in the game

There is an expansion mod we are working on. The sad reality is that people donât know the variety that exists because of the fact that the Indian continent is today made of countries that arenât following ethnic nationalism (except Bangladesh). A simple Google search on the various types of architecture (varying from North west/Indus style to Dravidian: which in itself has massively diversity and then the Eastern style: which is sort of like a blend of South East Asian) and look at the different styles and strategies of the military (and the variety of units). People are happy to cite the uniqueness of Bohemian cavalry or gunpowder. And yet for some reason would close their eyes to how it would make no sense for a Rajput warrior, an Urumi swordsman, or Deccan style cannons would somehow fit into one civilisation. The amount of Eurocentrism in this thread is extremely unfortunate and heartbreaking. I plead everyone to actually read on the topic before commenting.
