Why is India given zero attention

[Trin Tragula]

As we have said before (and have for years, like I used to whenever the Timurids were brought up) we also recognize India is in need of attention in the future. It is not the only region to be in need of that however, so all in due time

Like with all regions concrete suggestions are welcome and will be revisited when we do get to that region at some point. That’s also more or less what this forum is for so by all means make more of them for all topics you have something you would like to suggest something for (not just India).

I bet that India DLC will receive lukewarm reception similar to Rajas of India in CK II. Can't see any useful feature that will improve the game that can be measured with India improvement if we talk about regular DLC. Another Immersion Pack may also be seen negative and not useful, because Indian countries are far more rare choices to play in comparison with Russia or England/France//Burgundy/Dutch minors.

There has never been strong reactions against adding non-European content for eu during my 3.5 years on the project. Quite the contrary. That is as far as I know mostly a thing in the ck community (and that community is off topic to discuss here).

Given that this is a suggestions forum for what could be done in various ways with the game I would not worry about discussing stuff like popularity, we have better ways to judge that.
We come here for the suggestions themselves.

If you say that Delhi Sultanate got close but failed, the very same applies to the Mughals as well. Last 27 years of his life Aurangzeb only kept suppressing revolts in the South India, almost living away from Delhi, in Aurangabad and died doing that. Taxes were not reaching Delhi and if sometimes they could get some, it would get looted in the way. Mughals were almost bankrupt from the Southern expedition.

I wish forming Bharat or Hindustan should be made slightly more tougher. To start with one must own 20 provinces from their primary culture group plus at least 10 provinces each from 2 other culture group. That is a total of at least 40 provinces.

I also don't like the nomenclature "Mughal", well it should be called Hindustan. PDX has created more confusion with its own historical versions.
It should be like:
Timurid lines - Hindustan
Indian Sultanates - Sultanate -e-Hind (or just restore glory of Delhi Sultanate, available to all sultanates), This idea can developed to form Sur Empire as well.
All remaining - Bharat.

I’m no fan of our naming conventions either in this case as I do think Hindustan is a much better name than Mughals for the empire of Babur and his successors but I don’t really see how sultan of hind is different from Hindustan, the Mughals did not introduce that term, they just liked to use it (and both terms are of course Persian).
Sultan e Hind is also more of a title than the name of a state. Having both a Hind and a Hindustan would be both superfluous and confusing in my opinion (they are after all the exact same thing and both terms were in use at the same time).

It’s all pretty academic for this game though. Our naming conventions mean it has to be Mughals and there’s nothing I can do about that
To be fair, for most people playing the Mughals would be a much more familiar term as well.
