@DauHoangNguyen1999 The Dharma Wheel that was added to the Elephant Archers is exclusively a Buddhist symbol, it has no relation to Hinduism whatsoever. The Om symbol is also used by all Dharmic religions, not just Hinduism.

To counter the whole "Indian civilization [should] look more Islamic argument, Indo-Islamic architecture was almost entirely in the so-called "Hindu" style before the Mughals, not unlike the early mosques of Indonesia. In fact, some of the most famous pre-Mughal Islamic architecture, such as the Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque (Earliest Indian-Islamic World Heritage Site) and the Adhai Din Ka Jhonpra, were considered the best examples of "Hindu" architecture by the British. Conservative Persian architecture did not become the universal architectural form for Islam in India until the Mughal empire, and even that began to reincorporate "Hindu" elements later on.

As far as I'm concerned, they just made the Indian civ more historically accurate for AoE II timeframe (For AoE III, it should obviously have Mughal architecture, as that was the norm then), and your claim that they made everything more Hindu stems from lack of knowledge on Islamic culture in South Asia then and corresponding subjects.

I mean, seriously your from Vietnam, I find it hard to believe that someone from there thinks the main symbol of Buddhism is a "Hindu symbol", when it is the second largest religion there.
