Due to the caste system, the commoners and peasants are the Sudras whose ranks are the lowest, which is represented by Indian Villagers getting cheaper as the civilization advances through the Ages. The Indians are classified as a Camel Rider and gunpowder civilization. As such, they have excellent Camel Riders with a unique upgrade, extra pierce armor, an additional attack bonus against standard buildings, and all upgrades (missing only the final armor upgrade). They also have access to the Hussar, but no Knights at their disposal. Still, their cavalry branch is very prominent and strong.
Their archers are also very good, most prominently their excellent Cavalry Archers and Hand Cannoneers with both getting all possible upgrades and the latter getting another +1 range from Shatagni, making the Hand Cannoneer one of the most prominent unit in Indian armies.
Their infantry misses out on the final armor upgrade but get all unit upgrades. The siege weapons are underwhelming apart from the Bombard Cannon. Their navy is good, but the Fast Fire Ship and Shipwright are missing. Their defenses are weak, but their economy is good (only lacking Crop Rotation) and very beneficial for their playing style with faster gold income due to Sultans. The Indians have a campaign devoted to their civilization: Prithviraj.
