We lack indian units so i think it'd be best to add more of them. Currently we only have Mahout and Rajput.

mahout lancer should be current mahout upgrade, and then something like elite mahout lancer or heavy mahout lancer geting a 3 tiers unit

Stats don't fit.
Upgrade cannot be weaker in any parameter than before upgrade (it's general rule).

Even with nerf to mahout 6 turns elephant with 2 range could be too much.

yeah i know that, but the suggestion this being the upgrade should come with a rework of this mahout lancer, like removing the 2 range...

well suggestd stats

cost 6
hp 125
attack 24
range 1
armour 4/2
speed 2
sight 6
CR 50%

same bonus and abilities

main changes:
attack +4
hp +5
armour +1/0

Mahout has the stats assuming it's late game ones.

If upgrade was added it would need to have current attack and current mahout - nerfed.

But as his attack probably need a slight decrease even now it could also be adjusted.
