The Pala Empire was one of the three great empires that partook in the struggle over Kannauj and the Gangetic plains during the between the 8th and 10th centuries, but the dynasty’s influence was on the decline by the 11th century, following the rise of the Chandras in the eastern part of Bengal. So too did the Bangla language, arguably one of the most important literary traditions in Northern Inda. It shaped the evolution of tantric religions, especially Buddhism: Vajrayana Buddhism, which is practiced in Tibet and much of Southeast Asia today, developed considerably in Bengal.

As the entrepot to the great networks of Northern India and with access to the emerging polities of the Tibetan plateau through the Himalayan passes, Pala Bengal rapidly grew to be one of the great geopolitical centres of gravity of the subcontinent, attracting traders and monks from across the East Coast and the Indian Ocean. By the 8th century, under the Pala dynasty, it was home to rich networks of agrarian production and religious activity. Polities and religious institutions within and around Bengal have greatly influenced the development of various cultures in the Indian subcontinent as well as in Southeast Asia.Ī flat and densely-forested land, Bengal began to urbanise in the early centuries of the common era, though it had been home to minor polities such as its namesake, Vanga, from well before this time. With its core in the Ganga-Brahmaputra delta, the immensely fertile region of Bengal has historically been one of the major power-centres in the Indian subcontinent. Started as the Kamarupa Kingdom, then briefly vassalized by Pala, again gained independence and changed to Ahom Kingdom which lasted for a millenium years.

This place has a long independent history of being ruled by it’s local rulers only. For now the civs simply replace some of the ingame civs but we will try to expand the civ roster without removing anything if we get the opportunity.Īsomiya covers the Assam and Kachar region encompassing the Assamese people, Ahom people and Naga people. Now i realized there are a whole bunch of people in AGE community who wants india to be split. At first we were 2 but now there are many who are contributing to the project.

Yet we decided to make an expansion type mod on India as we could not wait. Maybe the devs have already realized it and working on an expansion. Indian subcontinent is huge and diverse in culture. So, we all know that only one civ in AOE 2 cannot represent all the medieval indian cultures, ethnicity, civs.
