"A king desirous of expanding his own power shall make use of the six-fold policy. Agreements of peace shall be made with equal and superior kings; and an inferior king shall be attacked. Whoever goes to wage war with a superior king will be reduced to the same condition as that of a foot-soldier opposing an elephant. Just as the collision of an unbaked mud-vessel with a similar vessel is destructive to both, so war with an equal king brings ruin to both."
- Chanakya "The Arthashastra"

Why don't we get the adventures of Chandragupta and Chanakya here in the states?
This has incredible potential! |
I initially planned on condensing the Mauryans into one episode but the more I read, the more I realized they're so interesting they need to be split up! If you're playing at home that means Ashoka won't be in this one but his dad and grandpappy are!
