you have no idea what you are talking about, clearly you havent tried it or played vs it. Iirc mongo also did some kind of semi ff vs india rushes, and it just shuts it down hard. And after that india can't deal with the china mass.
Obviously you are committing unit cards only as he does, so if he send 5 sepoy, you go only 8 bow. If he sends 5 sepoy + 4 sowar, you send 9 pike as well. i have no idea where you come with 35 quality units, india will never have this mass when you are aged up if they did a 12 sepoy rush or a consulate rush and got shut down. If they don't commit, its even better for you since you will be up alot quicker and you will be surprised how will old han does vs sepoys lol. the safest thing to do is age up with 8 skir, but depending on map and other factors, you can age up tower as well.
