Part 4 of 6
After regaining control of homeland defenses and being in a position to once again produce offensive forces for the counter-attack on England, Gandhi set out to conquer the English Banana Isle Minor. But Gandhi lost one caravel full of war elephants to a marauding Egyptian frigate, and, after pillaging the improvements on English soil and razing a small English city on the easternmost tip of England’s Banana Isle Minor, the Indian forces simply could not defeat the entrenched English defenders fortified in their hill city of Oxford. With war weariness creeping up on the Indian democracy and the Indian scientific research efforts slowed by increased morale spending, Gandhi decided it was best to end the fruitless wars of destruction. [Although Gandhi’s people were religious and could transition governments with little penalty, Gandhi himself was a bit tired of the warfare and would just as soon have made peace without a switch out of democracy.]
Indian society continued to prosper, but the world was distrustful and resentful of Indian power. Trading became quite difficult for the Indians as no foreign power would deal with Gandhi in a manner which he felt to be appropriate. Unusually, on an archipelago-like map, the Indians were somewhat of an isolationist civ. But the Indian people continued to construct great wonders of the world, completing Newton’s University in 1550 AD, Universal Suffrage in 1680 AD and Theory of Evolution in 1690 AD. The Indians missed building JS Bach’s Cathedral by a turn or two, and didn’t pursue Shakespeare’s Theater, both of which were built by the Persians – which of course meant that they would one day be Indian treasures
.
Just before the age of Combustion, Cleopatra renewed her rivalry with Gandhi and declared war, attempting an invasion of Gandhi’s holdings in former Persian lands. Believe it or not, Gandhi had neglected his navy to some degree while focusing on wonder-building and civilian infrastructure – the Indian navy consisted largely of Galleons, Caravels and a few Ironclads. Even with the Egyptian declaration of war Gandhi elected to hold off on building his navy and instead would wait for combustion and the advent of the Destroyer. Unfortunately, this meant that India’s colonies were forced to deal with numerous invasions of multiple units as well as significant and repeated naval bombardment from the coastlines. Gandhi gritted his teeth and vowed revenge.
The year 1778 AD brought a tremendous year of change to India. In the 20 years or so since Cleopatra started her war of aggression, the world once again succumbed to a lust for conquest with numerous wars and alliances springing up (see below), and Gandhi mobilized his economy for war. Indian scientists had unraveled the mysteries of both Combustion and Mass Production, and were reporting that they felt close to understanding Motorized Transportation. But Gandhi’s naval forces were not yet a match for all the world’s forces, and a war-time mobilization helped Gandhi’s war-time economy surge.
