Role, availability & values
The group uses 27 population and takes 60 seconds under the recorded rules. The Baghdad Janissaries form the screen while the Great Bombards attack major targets. The guns are high-value units and need protection from cavalry or fast melee troops; keep them behind the infantry and leave room for the full population before choosing the shipment.

Indian Consulate Banner Army; Industrial Age; select Ottoman Allies; 1,600 Export; 60 seconds; 27 population; 13 Baghdad Janissaries and 2 Consulate Great Bombards.
Matchup & timing
Choose it when the Indian army can reserve population and needs both a durable screen and heavy siege. Advance only after the route is safe and keep enough units near the Bombards to stop a flank. Compare the minute-long delivery with immediate military needs before committing to the Consulate option.
Protect the two Bombards throughout the advance
The force’s siege strength is concentrated in two Great Bombards, while thirteen Baghdad Janissaries provide the accompanying infantry. If the Bombards are caught alone, the army loses much of the shipment’s ability to pressure major targets. Move the group together, use the Janissaries to intercept fast attackers and avoid entering narrow ground where the guns cannot be screened. The 27-population requirement also makes this a large commitment: check the current army and reserve space before starting the 60-second wait.
Current force and historical count
The Industrial Age company costs 1,600 Export and takes 60 seconds at the Indian Consulate after selecting Ottoman Allies. The current Definitive Edition force contains 13 Baghdad Janissaries and two Consulate Great Bombards, using 27 population. Older Asian Dynasties data lists 11 Baghdad Janissaries; the original interface also displayed an incorrect count, so use the current composition for present-day planning.
Infantry screen for Great Bombards
The Baghdad Janissaries provide the screen while the two Great Bombards attack major structures and other valuable targets. Keep the artillery behind the infantry, reserve the full population, and clear threats that can reach the guns before advancing. The long training time makes this a planned siege force, not a quick answer to a sudden raid; begin production while the route and objective are still secure.
