russia vs india

[fei123456]

What do you mean with force to fortress? If anything, as Russia I''m the one who wants to play it in fortress cuz in age2 you don''t have much chances when both civs get a complete 3 unit combo.

yeah age 2 india and russia both have 3 unit combo but india is much much much.much.much stronger. thats why he mean "force to fortress". zamburak sowar gurkha vs cossack strelet musk? age 2 dragoon+skirm combo? lol

Hi, can i help u a bit in this one couprider?

Sepoy: a corruption of the word "Sipahi", which in hindi, means soldier. (im guessing its similar in urdu, coz the "Spahi" which the ottomans have is also a corruption of the word "sipahi"

Sowar: Crudely translated sowar means "rider" (sawar), im aware of Indians calling their horse cav "ghur sawar" = horse rider

Zamburuk: derived from the arabic word "Zambur" meaning hornet. Zambs were used to pepper the enemy infantry with shots. &' be moved out.

Mahout: is the word used in india for an elephant trainer.

Howdah : The seat on the back of an elephant is called an Howdah. since the gunner is seated in such a seat im guessing they chose the name of the unit.

Urumi: Is a special whip sword, used in the southern parts of India. its one of the most advanced levels of swordsmanship in the "kalaripayattu" system of Indian martial arts.

These are NOT english words, mostly regional, which the brits picked up as the assimilated these lands.
Hope the infos helpful. :clint:
