I would like to specificate something:

Shivaji's tactics give +5% of attack and HP, but the 5% more related to the base HP and base attack of an unit. not +5% of the attack and HP at the moment it is sent. It can sound maybe stupid, but 5% is very low, because at the end 1 mahout has an attack of 28 at the beginning, so with this card it gets +1 of attack only. So it's better to have Elephant combat that gives +15% (on a mahout it adds 15% out of 28, so an increase of 4 attack points). Or even Camel attack that gives to sowar +30% of attack (so it means +6 of attack, while the shivaji tactics give only +1 attack).

Shivaji's tactics it's still useful, just that if you really checke the bonus given ... it isn't so so much.

Another check i made today was about Desert Terror. It makes changing the multiplier of a sowar from 1.5x on infantry and 0.75x on heavy infantry to a 2x on infrantry and 0.5x on heavy infantry.

Without this card, a sowar has 1.5x on infantry, it's already quite powerful on skirmishers, you don't really need 2x. what i really think is dangerous is that the sowar is weakened against heavy infantry with this card ! if you analyse multipliers, at the beginning a sowar has x 1.5 x 0.75 on heavy infantry, meaning in total a net multiplier of 1.125 (cause heavy infantry is also infantry at the end). But with the card, the net multiplier against heavy infantry is x2 x 0.5 = 1 (meaning that there is no bonus on heavy infantry). And at the end the sowar doesn't really need a bonus on skirmisher, cause they kill them pretty easily, the problem is that the enemy isn't stupid and will combine heavy infantry and skirmishers. so sowar need to be strong against skirmishers (it's their job) but need to be also enough powerful to counter an heavy infantry if needed.

The bonus on zamburak is interesting. the 4x on cavalry is important ! but i don't usually make them, maybe i should more. but when i can, i focus my army on elephants (mahouts and some howdahs + urumi + sepoys). But yeah, at the end Desert Terror is very important if people use a lot camels, use it if you want. it just made me perplex about the loss of bonus against heavy infantry for sowars
