Magadha

Faction Overview	Strategic Overview	History
Magadha have the power of Architecture.
Ensconced in the northern half of the Indian subcontinent, and protected by deserts, mountains and swamps, Magadha is the mightiest of Mother Gunga's children. From all Magadha's tributaries and subjects come all manner of tribute, delicacies and luxuries, while her armies have proven to be undefeatable for the past four centuries.
Yet all of this could soon come to an end.
Despite this great affluence and wealth, the kingdom - now dominated by the powerful Haryanka dynasts - is far from secure. The vicious Dravidian tribes of the south have yet to know Magadha rule, nor has Magadha been able to pierce the Thar desert or the swamps of Bengal — and it is from these areas that new threats are bound to emerge. Meanwhile, disturbing news from both east, north and west continue — with merchants and spies bringing news of distant barbarian tribes and wars. Nevertheless, the core of Magadha's army, fuelled by tribute, and her expertise in siege weapons, is intact, and it is with this you may yet repulse your foes — and keep Magadha's dynasts as the lords of all India.
