The Mahabharata is not relative to this time period.
As for population, using the population listed within the thread previously, and adjusting for centers of civilization and cultivation, I estimated the Indus River Civilization (Indus Valley + Gujarat region) has about 1.5 Million total inhabitants. Another 1 million along the Gangetic Plain, with the other 2 Million dispersed across the rest of the continent. (iirc the population for India was listed at ~4.5 million).
With most people still living a rural lifestyle, and power projection concentrated in the cities and along waterways, the federation which has been established is just that, a Federation. A group of city-states working together for the betterment of all. The conquests are to secure border regions for greater security for the primary member cities of Harappa, Khusab, and Sargodha.
construct a city along the Ravi river, roughtly where Lahore is today, to serve as his capital in the future.

Read the first few pages of the IC.
Thus far, the typical route has been adoption by a village, and then the slow ( stretch this out for taste and story development ) rise through social ranks until we reach a position were in we exercise direct control and influence over a polity. From there, our will just naturally starts taking the shape of a civilization.
Viktor become a judge for his city after about two years.
Luther became a predatory merchant lording interests over city states after about five years.
Andrew become a great general married a princess of Aksum after about five years.
Clara convinced the danish tribes to poole resources after about four years.
Issac became a general and couped his village after nine years.
Patrick became a hero and made peace between the tribes of Ireland.
Victor is into yoga
Soto invented communism
We all have different ways of getting there.
Edit: Could you maybe tell me what you intend on creating? I could tell you about what some people did to get there.

Ngl it’ll be a long time before Andrew ever gets the chance to officially rule the Kingdom. Well, when he rules, it won’t be a Kingdom I guess.

Andrew and Issac are leading a somewhat similar path it seems. Issac also started out merely as commander for the army of his adoptive tribe, the Ablan. He didn't lead his coup ( more than a bit inspired by the march on rome - rode a horse through the streets and everything ) until nine years after his arrival. Issac was on far less amicable terms with the leading clan of Stranix though than Andrew is with the king of Aksum.

Bortslovakia wrote:Though I do imagine a major strongpoint like Tharinsford would have a larger garrison than some random stretch of nothing along the Danevirke. A few dozen men guarding it implies a relatively even distribution of soldiers along the battlements when really none is needed. In creating these strongpoints you essentially know where an enemy will have to attack if they wish to cross. That's the whole point of erecting a fortress. The Imperium can't just blitzkrieg over the maginot here, because said fortresses can be used to easily close any gaps made. Likewise the Imperium doesn't have the means to reliably supply a large force cut off from its territory by land against a naval power. Therefore, if they intend to cross they need to take a heavily fortified position like Tharinsford so they can utilize it themselves against a counterattack. As such, it'd be utterly moronic not to station a large garrison there.

A group photo of the authors. Or authors dueling, that’d be neat.

Lmao it’s all the European authors staring at each other, hands hovering over their swords, while the Near east authors are just having a good time, hugging each other. Sato is Just in the distance, looking at everyone with disdain.
