Mauryan empire

[Sandeep]

In Mauryan empire any one of the game development team could please replace "BOS Taurus Indicus" with any other vegeterian Food item.

Because Maurayans are the followers of vedic religion and do not eat cow, Bull or we can say red meat, its is forbidden,

so with this food item source the 0.AD game become unrealistic.

So i request developers to please replace it with any other Vegeterian or other edible animal source ,you can do some research regards this 

Thanks you

What if they could batch-train chickens and peacocks as a replacement?

Are Buddhists prohibited from eating beef?

I remember the aoe3 Aztecs had the ability to summon food containers. Or something like that. You can do the same and the stall will generate boxes of plant food instead of cows.
Strawberry Festival. The Strawberry Festival provides you with approximately 500 Food for every 10 minutes of game length, up to 30 minutes.

The original Vedic religion didn't forbid the consumption of cow and beef meat. It is Brahmanism which started to incorporate new elements, notably forbidding the consumption of cow. See the following: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_sacrifice_in_Hinduism

The Brahmanic texts explicitly state that five creatures were suitable for sacrifice in Vedic India, in descending order man, horse, cattle, sheep, and goat. The texts of rigveda and other vedas provide detailed description of sacrifices including cattle sacrifice

Although it is true that it started progressively during the Mauryan period. Ahsoka notably promoted a vegetarian life.

Whether eating cow or not was OK in Hinduism aside, this probably should be changed. The Zebu was used as a beat of burden, not for eating. According to my research, both the milk and the meat of the Zebu were terrible.

<< S. K. Chowdhury’s analysis (Gaur, 1983) of the plant remains found in the Atranjikhera excavations reveals some important details. The OCP and BRW phases yielded a few remains of rice, barley, gram, and khesari. The PGW (Painted Grey Ware ~1100-800 BC) level gave evidence of wheat, and the manner in which plant remains were scattered about and found in heaps suggested more abundant grain production than before. The NBPW (Northern Black Polished Ware ~600-200 BC) phase showed the cultivation of rice, wheat, and barley, with the addition of a new pulse (Phaseolus mungo). The wood remains included laurel, farash, bamboo, deodar, and Himalayan cypress. As cedar and Himalayan cypress grow in the northern mountains, these finds suggest contact with these regions. Almost a thousand pieces of bone fragments from the site were analysed. Those belonging to the NBPW phase included bones of domesticated humped cattle, buffalo, goat, sheep, pig, and dog. Horse remains occurred in the PGW and post-PGW phases. Many animal bones were split or cut with sharp tools and charred—clear evidence that the animals were killed for food. The bones of cattle vastly outnumbered those of other animals, indicating that beef was an important part of the diet, apart from venison, mutton, and pork. >>

<< Excavations in the Parashurameshwara temple at Gudimallam (Chittoor district, AP) have revealed the history of this Shiva temple from the 2nd century BCE onwards (Sarma, 1994). In the earliest stage, the stone Shiva linga carved with the image of the god was placed within a 1.25 m square stone railing. The temple was hypaethral (open-air, roofless). Bones of domesticated sheep with cut marks on them suggest animal sacrifice. Phase II in the structural history of the temple is dated from the 1st to the 3rd centuries CE. An apsidal temple was built around the Shiva linga in this period. Considerable architectural elaboration took place in early medieval times. However, it is interesting to note that the same Shiva linga remained the object of worship in the sanctum throughout. >>

very interesting option for a tech cost: collection of meat is nerfed (by half?) in exchange for some bonus.

what is a possible bonus for Brahmanism?

This sounds weird, but what if its collection of meat rate is halved for all units costing half the amount of meat? It's an interesting trade-off.

Can we also think of another use of the Zebu? Because it seems really silly to have it in
