Hey,
Recently discovered that wildfire have decided to introduce the Indian faction, so much exitement after returning from the tiring journey. India is my motherland and I am quite prou of it!!! So, I want to conform, what should be the name of the alpha xi...

I vote for the name ''Kautilya''.

Chanakya, also known as Kautilya was the mastermind behind the advent of the Mauryan Empire. He was, at first, teacher of Chandragupta, and then hi Prime Minister. He was the king maker......
So, how about it? Any other suggestions?

Indians boasted of the best war elephants - which were cheaply available in masses, and which alexander feared. Also Indians boasted of the earliest 'longbowmens' with a range said to be of the width of river ganges.

" The descrption of the Punic Wars by Strabo is full of references to the eximious Lusitanian riders who could easily climb escarpments where no other mounted armies would dare to try. "

I think they should introduce before Japan or Scandinavian faction than Lusitans. There are some much factions and son much artwork to be done to create a new faction.

But would be a great idea create a pledgie to accumulate money to add new faction and accelerate the creation process.

There is already a topic dedicated to alpha 11 name suggestions. As for your suggestion, its probably going to be witheld until the faction is released, and alpha 11 wont have the Mauryans
