I never said they were better.
I did agree with your statement for re patch.
But in ep (12)sepoy rush is rightfully reduced to a cheesy build which only works when not expected.
Consulate rush and India eco(gajra) both require skill to be executed, or get delayed.
India by design has many strategic options open. But were never fully explored due to how insane sepoy rush was.
There is a possibility that instead of having one standard build with minor variations, India needs specific counter builds and a need to scout well. Maybe this high skill cap is the reason for what Goodspeed said.
Though personally I find dutch most difficult among european, aztec in wc and china in asian civs.
