Back to Leaders (Civ7)

Ashoka (c. 304 – 232 BCE), commonly known as Ashoka the Great, was the third emperor of the Maurya Empire in ancient India, ruling from 268 BCE until his death. Best known for his conversion to Buddhism after his bloody conquest of the region of Kalinga in 260 BC, his enthusiastic patronage of the religion is credited with playing a very significant role in the spread of Buddhism across east and southern Asia. He is a leader in Civilization VII.

This is one of Ashoka's two alternate personas, the other being Ashoka, World Conqueror.

Intro

Lauded as a chakravartin, a "wheel-turning monarch," for spreading Buddhism, Ashoka had a checkered past. Known for his ferocity as the emperor of the Maurya, Ashoka experienced a profound revelation upon witnessing his slaughter of the Kalinga in 260 BCE. Afterwards, he spread a message of non-violence around his lands and abroad, seeking to steer others away from his own legacy of destruction.
