In the game's words
How to use it
The Mansabdar Zamburak is an Elite Indian unit that can be trained at the Charminar Gate Wonder. It has an inspiring affect on all nearby non-Mansabdar units of the same type, increasing their attack and hitpoints. The Zamburak is an Indian light cavalry unit. It’s extremely fast and cheap but has fewer hitpoints than other cavalry units. Its mounted gun gives the Zamburak good range, and it inflicts the worst damage on heavy cavalry.
History
During his rule over the Mughal Empire of India, Akbar the Great brought the whole of his military organization under a new system of administration called the mansabdari. The title was taken from the term “mansab,” which means rank. Officers in the Mughal army were given a mansab and then expected to be servants of the state, with their dismissal or suspension resting directly in the hands of the emperor. There were thirty-three grades of mansabdars, differentiated by the Zat and the Sawar. The Zat referred to the number of troops that the mansabdar maintained, while the Sawar referred to the number of horses that he maintained. The number of soldiers under a man’s command could start at ten and rise into the ten thousands. Of course, the highest rank that any common officer could hold only offered a command of 5,000 men. Larger forces were always first allotted to royal princes. Yet, after the death of Akbar at the beginning of the seventeenth century, the grades were increased. Common officers could reach the mansabdar grade corresponding to a command of over 20,000 men. A zamburak is a small weapon carried on and fired from the back of a camel. The name comes from the Arabic “zambur,” meaning hornet. Before gunpowder, early versions of the camel-mounted gun featured a bolt-firing crossbow that produced a buzzing twang at discharge, which gave the weapon its name. In later years the crossbow was replaced with a small culverin or falconet attached to the rider’s saddle. The zamburak originated in Egypt, and spread to Iran, India and elsewhere. Attempts to adapt the idea to elephants proved generally unsuccessful, as the beasts would not remain steady under intense enemy fire.
