Historical Climatology
Anybody know any sources, esp. in regard to the Indus Valley? I know it is conjectured that the early Harrappa-Mohenjo Daro culture disappeared because of a drying of the climate. By the time Alexander took his tour there were still no major settlements in the lower Indus Valley, an area which is quite fertile today. I want to put a few insignificant settlements there but they're going to grow like weeds if they're surrounded by grassland; and, yes, I am going to at least double the size of the food box to stunt growth.

The climate of the Indus valley seems to be changing greatly in antiquity. By the time Dareios the Great conquered India (518 BC), it was a vast, flourishing land, very rich and thus important to own.
My suggestion is to create a new Indus terrain (both ressources should be Gold dust, with lots of shields and trade). I know of only very few cities there, and the ones important to Alex where only Taxila, Sangala and Pattala.
