Overview
The Fate of India reverses a Relic victory race: destroy three Monasteries or build a Wonder before Muhammad Ghori’s Relic timer ends. Establish food and gold immediately, then choose the faster route that matches the difficulty.
Plan and execution
Research Kshatriyas at the start and place Mills near shore fish, using Sheep in the Mills where the scenario permits. Begin Villager production and prioritize gold so the army can sustain its first response. On Standard, use the free Imperial Age start to assemble siege and attack the closest Monastery; on higher difficulties, advance quickly while keeping the base alive. Return the three Relic Carts to the Buddhist Monks to secure the free technology reward, then commit to destroying all three Monasteries or defending a Wonder countdown.
Risks and adaptation
The opponent’s Relic timer is the hard deadline, so an economic boom without a target can lose the mission. Protect Villagers from early pressure and track the remaining monastery objectives before choosing a Wonder defense.
