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 Renouncer.

Intro

Much is made of how Ashoka, the bloodthirsty emperor of the Maurya, embraced non-violence and Buddhism. But what of Ashoka before this revelation? Had he not experienced a profound revelation upon witnessing his own troops' bloody slaughter of the Kalinga around 260 BCE, his legacy today may be one of conquest by the sword, rather than the mind.

Lines

Ashoka speaks Maghadi Prakrit, a vernacular Middle Indo-Aryan language spoken in the Magadha region of Ancient India.
