Asia ton Barbaron - ΑΣΙΑ ΤΩΝ ΒΑΡΒΑΡΩΝ

I think it would be really cool, if there was a caste system for the Hindu factions like Pandvas & Mauryan's, a persons caste, could affect his traits & a family member could come from any caste as the persons caste was just a matter of personal choice as stated in the Mahabharata, like a Sudra can go to a pariah & that can go to Brahmin & that can go to Kshatriya etc.. e.g: Chandragupta was a Sudra.
If the caste that the family member is from is a Brahmin, he could have a high piety & a chivalry e.g: the story Droṇācārya, (Droṇācārya was born as a Bhāradvāja Brahmin, in Dehradun 9000 BC. For the sake of his wife and son, Droṇa desired freedom from poverty. Remembering the promise given by Drupada, he decided to approach him to ask for help. However, drunk with power, King Drupada refused to even recognize Droṇa and humiliated him by calling him "an inferior person"( Draupadas promise was when he was king he would give half his kingdom to Drona),Drona was insulted & took to war. When Draupada was captured by Drona's army, Drona showed sign of great 'Chivalry' & gave him half his kingdom). This is why i think someone from a Brahmin caste could have high chivalry. A Kshatriya could have great command & maybe low chivalry, because he lived his life richly, & is very selfish ( Again it is shown in Drona, Once Draupada got his freedom & half his kingdom, he seeked for revenge Drupada performed a great yajna (vedic ritual of fire sacrifice) to beget a son who could slay Drona. From the fire of the yajna, twins Dhrishtadyumna and Draupadi were born. Years later, in the Mahabharata war, Dhrishtadyumna beheaded Drona). A Sudra may not be loyal but will have high chivalry because they experienced the difficulties of being a servant & believes equality or he may want to seek revenge & overthrow the monarchy.
Anyways that is my imagination of what Asia ton barbaron, Even if you do not include the Caste system & many features, it will still be a great game

I Think the caste system will make this game that extra special, Great idea!, Hope next preview is an Indian faction

I wonder if there are traits on type of religions, like a 'Viashnava' worshiper of Vishnu, get traits more peace oriented like traits that will make the general more chivalrous based on whatever caste he may come from, where as worshipers of Shiva ' the destroyer' will be more likely to get traits on increasing command, and one person may get these traits on building specific temples in cities.
What if Asia ton Barbaron is like EB instead of an American voice over they have historically correct speeches in Chinese, Sanskrit & Persian

Hello Chandragupta!!welcome to our forums. Well i can honestly say that i am not familiar with the Indian history and especially the caste system. We haven't worked too much on indian factions because we dont have researchers who are specialise on indian factions. The only indian faction we ve worked so far is Maurya, we have made a great research on them and when we were a rtw mod, our first preview was Mauryan Empire. Your proposals are very interesting and we thank you for that. If you want to join feel free to say it. I mean both of you.

Traits are not being worked on still because we are barely starting; however, ideas and suggestions will be taken into consideration when we do start working on them.

And yes, hopefully we can have ancient languages spoken in the mod, but that will be done later as well. Maybe.

OK that's a good sign, but i don't think that i could help, i don't know anything about modding, if that's what you're asking, but thanks for the offer (If you were asking)
