Tiger Lord Sawai, Ind and Indian Influence questions!
Honestly most hyped for my guy, Sawai, and the Iron Claw Tiger Warriors coming tomorrow!
Something I was curious about, and haven’t seen much discussed, is the Indian influence for this Lord, some of these units, and what it means more broadly for other Ind inclusions, or Indian-subcontinent influences on the Tigermen or other potential factions (for instance a full Ind faction pack).
I immediately assumed “Sawai” was Indian-influenced, and a quick search confirmed my suspicions:
“Sawai (Indian Title):
Sawai is a title of honor used in the Indian subcontinent, primarily associated with the Rajput rulers of Rajasthan.
Meaning: Rooted in Sanskrit, it translates to "one and a quarter" (one's value being 1.25 times that of an average man in strength or intelligence).”
This is a very cool historical/culture reference, and p(urrrr)erfectly befitting a Warrior Lord of the Tigermen.
So I’m curious for the thoughts/opinions of anyone of Indian-origin, and what further influence you’d like to see if we ever got more units/a full faction for Ind proper.
