Sirhind is a country in northern India. It borders Delhi,
Jangladesh,
Multan,
Kashmir,
Kangra, and
Sirmur. Sirhind is a vassal of Delhi, and both have cores on each other's provinces. Sirhind follows the
Hanafi school.
Within a few months after starting the game, "The Rise of Bahlûl" event will allow it to break free and declare a Reconquest war on Delhi. Sirhind starts with a powerful ruler, Bahlûl Lodi, with 4/5/6 stats and the Strict, Conqueror, and Industrious traits. He is also a powerful 3-star general giving Sirhind a major edge in its initial wars. After gaining independence, Sirhind can reform the Delhi Sultanate. Its geographical location also makes it in a prime position to convert to Sikhism and forming the nation of
Punjab.

Delhi was once the capital of the entire Indian subcontinent and our own state is in many ways a continuation of their traditions.
Let us reclaim the heritage of the sultans of Delhi, and rule the subcontinent from their ancient capital in the Doab.

We must unite the Punjabi people if we are ever to be able to stand against foreign invaders. Together we will build a modern state with armies capable of taking on the many enemies who would attack us for our lands, and who would do anything to extinguish our faith!

Events[edit]
The Rise of Bahlul Lodi
![]() |
Please help with verifying or updating this infobox. It was last verified for version 1.28. |
Ever since the sack of its capital in 1398 the Delhi Sultanate has been in a constant state of decay. Within short time the sultanates of Bengal, Gujarat, Malwa and even Jaunpur were proclaimed independent by former governors, while our own Sayyid dynasty took the opportunity to seize power over the city itself. Since however we have been unable to consolidate the fracturing sultanate and our direct influence does not extend far from the city walls of Delhi itself.
The Lodi family in Sirhind has been our last great supporter. With influence over most of the Afghan nobles in our kingdom they have been able to bring order to the few lands that still remain loyal. In return our predecessors have granted them what influence and power they could. However, with the rise of Bahlul Lodi as the head of the family, Delhi is once again at risk. Word has reached us that Bahlul is planning to march on Delhi, to impose his will on the Sultan and possibly end the Sayyid dynasty.

The Rise of Bahlul Lodi
![]() |
Please help with verifying or updating this infobox. It was last verified for version 1.28. |
As governor of the Punjab, and as one of the last remaining supporters of the Sayyid Sultans of Delhi, Bahlul Lodi is one of the most influential landholders in Northern India. He has also emerged as the informal leader of most of the Afghan nobles within the sultanate and many consider Bahlul Lodi more powerful than the Sultan of Delhi.
It is therefore no wonder that Bahlul Lodi has watched the incompetence of the Delhi Sultans with disgust.
Strategy[edit]
Reformation of Delhi:
This section of the Wiki will be solely dedicated to guiding players to form the nation of Delhi, in which case you should go over to to
- Main article: Delhi#Strategy
, and not this wiki.
Setup for the war with Delhi:
First, build up to force limit with Infantry, and be ready for war at all times. Start improving with Bengal, and
Malwa for after your war. Ally
Jangladesh so they don't join the war against you. Sometimes
Delhi will start a war with
Kashmir before the event that lets you attack
Delhi fires. If that happens, just restart. When the event fires, all of your troops should be in Sirhind, and with your 3 star general leading them. Immediately move into the province of Delhi to stackwipe
Delhi's army early. Then, quickly send 1k men to each of
Delhi's provinces to siege them down, and the rest into the capital to siege it down.
Usually Delhi will either ally Sindh or
Nagaur, but sometimes a bigger Indian nation. If they ally a smaller nation, you are good to go. However, you will struggle in a 1v1 against nations like
Bengal, or a similarly sized nation. If
Delhi gets a decent ally, it is recommended to restart because the time loss isn't that bad, and you are really saving yourself from a death war early on, which would most likely kill your campaign in the long run. However a smaller nation should be no match for you. Siege them down, take their cash, and break their alliances, and then peace out
Delhi for a full annexation. After the war, ally
Bengal,
Malwa, and maybe a bigger nation, and then reform the nation of
Delhi.
From here , just go to

for a guide for the rest of the campaign.
