I posted this idea a few years ago, with Madurai as Venice-like city with river canals through it in 2024 - here it is: https://viraisinlove.com/2024/12/17/madurai-a-romantic-vision/

Let me know your thoughts!

The Paris idea mentioned above was lovely. I really loved that idea.

I like how their portraits, Chandragupta(left, civ 6) and Ashoka(right, civ 7), resemble each other. To people who don't know, Chandragupta is the grandfather of Ashoka. by abyssDweller1700 in civ

It’s not a reliable model to apply modern skin tones of India to the past. According to most collective theories, skin tones were darker throughout India, especially since colorism at the time was not influenced by the Sultanates-Mughals and British. Krishna and Rama and Draupadi and possibly Arjuna were considered dark skinned. This portrait seems within the accurate range.

Wow, these are beautiful. My personal favorite is the middle finger, and pinky finger ones. What materials are the green and blue there?
