Mauryan Empire Showcase

The Mauryan Empire! The Empire that brought the world elephant warfare for 2000 years!

Mauryan War Chariot
Mauryan War Chariots, heralding its glory from the Vedic Age, still had their place in the Mauryan Empire's military. Bow-wielding junior nobles stood to each wheel and shot into the enemy amidst the chaos of battle.

Mauryan War Elephant
War Elephants were the key centerpieces of the Mauryan Military. They acted as vanguard, leveling trees and bushes to make way for the marching army. When faced with the enemy, they did to men the same as they did to helpless foliage.

Mauryan Spear Levy
These spear-wielding masses marched closely to the elephants, protecting their rear. They charged the enemy right before the elephants did to capitalize on the fear and havoc in their wake.

Mauryan Bow Levy
Archer levies forming the bulk of the Mauryan infantry were equipped with large and mighty bamboo bows capable of piercing armor. Arrayed behind their melee counter-parts, the Mauryan Bow Levy pelted the enemy with their unstoppable arrows.

Mauryan Light Cavalry
The horsemen of the Mauryan Military conducted skirmishes with the enemy. Their superior mobility to their chariots allowed them to maneuver through the battlefield to fight wherever needed.
