The Dharma Cup is a short prizepool-less 2v2 Arena tournament meant to show off the Dharma Expansion mod. Players are only allowed to play the civilisations of the Dharma Expansion and the map and game mode in all games is Arena RM Standard Regicide.
About the Dharma Expansion, the creator Ascetic describes:
“Dharma Expansion is a modding Project to cover the Indian Subcontinent. It gives you the opportunity to play as seven completely new civilizations (Bangala, Kalinga, Tamilar, Karnata, Gurjara, Dakhini, Dehlavi) as well as a makeover of Persians. Each civilization is unique with a different playstyle. All of them can train War Elephants from the Siege Workshop starting in Castle Age.”
