Yes that's true, there's already one. I thought it could use some "enlargement" in order to be used in the game. Actually, I support the idea of adding a heavy "royal" cavalry unit for the mauryans, in addition to making the champion maiden archer available, and I think they could be recruited in this new palace building...well, it's not likely my idea will be implemented, but a suggestion never hurts

Well, I have very few historical sources to demonstrate this particular cavalry unit. However, Mauryans had very few heavy cavalry, that's why the idea of an elite, royal guard cavalry seems to be plausible: https://weaponsandwarfare.com/2015/11/10/the-mauryan-empire-military/ http://historum.com/asian-history/40710-military-equipment-organization-army-mauryan-india.html Basically, historians conclude that the use of heavy cavalry was extended during the Gupta's era, but do not exclude that it was used before, only in small numbers. Maybe you could put a limitation on the number of heavy cavalrymen. As for the name of the cavalry, asvarohi is the good term for cavalry, sometimes the term "turanga asvarohi" is used...I have no certainty for the term "rajanya" though...What do you think about it? I think Mauryans need a new unit in the game, because persians now have access of elephants, and already have excellent cavalry, and th seleucids too. Not to mention that carthaginians, ptolemies, and seleucids have also unlimited access to elephants...

It's for new units, like the new building for persians. See my topic, I have answered you yesterday

Hi Lordgood! You made some nice variations here! I'd like to ask, while your creativity is at its peak (and your internet connexion at its worst), would you be interested to make a new library for the ptolemies? And a new palace for the mauryas? I'm merely suggesting...

Hi! Here's the source for the champion cavalry (from a mod of total war): www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzDIZyEV24A For the champion archer, Delenda Est mod has implemented a unit that can switch between archer and swordman!

Sorry! I didn't think it was the same problem you talked about by reading your title...

The last svn update seems to have broken the seleucid champion tech of the last age, that let you choose between traditional army or reformed one. Now you can't have any champion except elephants...

If you say so, that's great! Good luck for your thesis!

I saw it in delenda est mod though...looked like a finished graphic to me...or was it a placeholder?

I think the background building should do

I can't see it in the game...A pity, because it looks gorgeous...

Yes, that's it. I imagine it quite voluminous indeed.

Well, it was just an idea, based on the fact it's a special temple...Why I've posted in this section? I don't know Sorry if it is the wrong section!

Maybe they could give an aura for battle, like better defense, or better offensive abilities?

Hi! The seleucids have now access to their own library, maybe the ptolemies should have theirs too? After all, the library of Alexandria was quite famous. Here's a picture from minecraft: www.planetminecraft.com/project/royal-library-of-alexandria/

Just an idea: As the vestal temple has been implemented in the game, don't you think it ought to have vestals available in it instead of the ordinary priests?

You should definitely change your nickname to Santa Claus

OK. We shall see

Aha ok, I understand this. The icon I'm talking about though, looks completely like the actual egyptian priest of the game, so maybe he made it himself?

I'm learning something here. I thought everything was free to use...

I don't know if someone has already thought of that, but I noticed that an egyptian priest icon has been implemented in the ptolemaic temple, in delenda est mod. Why not implementing it in the official version of the game? It would be a nice addition in my opinion...

Hi! With the recent addition of new buildings for athenians, spartans, and persians, which also added new champion units, I wonder if you could make use of the mauryan palace building of the editor (maybe with some modifications), to add some units to mauryans. My idea would be to follow the steps of delenda est mod by adding the champion maiden archer, currently only available when you pick Chandragupta Maurya as a hero. As the lack of a good citizen infantry is compensated by two infantry champion units, I don't think adding any more would be wise, but a champion melee cavalry unit would be interesting in my opinion ( as the current one is not very good, though there is the excellent archer charriot, but it is a ranged unit)...What do you think about it?

Yes, I think mauryan archer elephant ought to have a mahout like in this picture.

As far as I'm concerned, different fortresses, and more differentiate CCs and temples would be enough (and wonders of course)...
