Overview
Mughal power is mighty indeed, as befits the children of Genghis Khan and his Mongol hordes. Their Indian empire has stood the test of time, and is possibly the wealthiest state in the whole world.
While the Mughal emperors are the descendants of Genghis Khan, their history has changed them. Now Muslim rather than pagan, they have also absorbed much of the language and high culture of Persia. Once India was conquered, they adopted much that is good from the local culture: the result is a rich and heady mixture of Indian, Persian and Mongol that produces an empire that is distinctive and Indian, both in the way it is run and the way it fights wars.
The Mughals are secure within their borders, although those borders are so extensive that even “local” problems can involve vast numbers of people. Their armies are, in poetic terms, numberless, and their power cannot be easily measured. Should he wish it, a Mughal ruler need only lift his finger to lay waste his enemies by the thousand. But why should he wish it? Why should he not?
There are potential problems, however. The ambitions of the Europeans may need to be checked, sooner or later. They seek power in India without any real understanding of what that means. They seek concessions, and land, and more concessions. At some point, a line must be drawn – or better still, a Mughal should make demands of a European, in Europe…
Starting Position
The Mughals begin the game controlling almost the entirety of the resource-laden Indian subcontinent. However, it recruits very slowly and has barely any troops in any of its regions, essentially reducing it to a very lucrative target for any faction that can reach it. The Mughal Empire is usually annexed by the Maratha Confederacy eventually. A notable early weakness within Mughal lands is the lack of development in most of its regions. Starting off the game with horrendous ministers, (most notable is the treasury) it is nothing to see a region in the middle of India having a wealth of zero when playing as the Maratha Confederacy.
