Editing Machina Dei (section)

==Indian==
As Rome expanded Eastward, they encountered India, then ruled by Ashoka the Great. Ashoka was tired of war, having conquered the nations surrounding India and finding no joy in it. The advancing general asked that India become a territory of Rome. Ashoka, of course, declined. The general already had Caesar's orders for this eventuality. Invade. Ashoka was at first unwilling to fight the Romans, and so they pushed deeply into Indian lands, overcoming Ashoka's unsupervised generals with relative ease. Ashoka, however, saw that the invading general was cruel, and thus Ashoka was enraged. He once more took up the sword, and the Roman advance was brought to a halt.

This day much of India is in Roman hands, and Ashoka, once called Great, now endeavors to regain it through guile.
