[Cronos]

ok, that clarifies things -- however, statements like "I wish everyone was like the Indians" are pretty wierd -- Indians are as peaceful/warlike/likeable/detestable as anyone else.

For your purpose, on a game describing common weapons and armor in india in the early centuries after Christ, you would do well to note that, due to India's warmer climate, the concept of a full suit of armor never really took off, while elephants were used in a role similar to tanks of a modern military.

Yep, I noticed that. In some of my readings it indicates that elephants were heavily armored, to the point that bowmen sometimes used metal shafts for better armor penetration.

Really interesting stuff, and I like what I've been reading so far. The stories of villians and the nobler heroes and betrayals and rescues have added a certain spice to the endeavor.
