Hindu Factions:
−
Travel anywhere from the Middle East to India in search of becoming the greatest ruler and general the world has to offer. Books of great knowledge were written throughout these parts, and can now be acquired as ancillaries. People of certain regions were better at certain activities; have them follow you and aid you in governance and warfare. Perhaps your men take to the exotic lands where they have traveled, and become very much like their foreign counterparts due to all the Vices and Virtues available?
