3. Mauryan Kingdom breakup: Turn 8
   At the start of Turn 8, the Mauryan (yellow) kingdom splits to form four new kingdoms, one played by each player. This occurs in the following sequence:
   1. The Yellow player converts all Mauryan (and submitted to Mauryan) counters currently in Magadha (using Gupta counters). Then he also converts all Mauryan and submitted counters in up to 4 areas adjacent to Magadha. Counters are replaced token for token in each case.
   2. After the Magadha kingdom is created, the Blue player chooses any 3 contiguous areas currently occupied by Mauryans counters to form the kingdom of the Mauryans-2. If at least one Aryans-4 territory is adjacent to any Mauryans-2 territory, all Aryans-4 may be converted to Mauryans-2, even if not submitted.
   3. After the Mauryans-2 kingdoms is created, the Green player chooses any 3 areas currently occupied by Mauryans counters to form the kingdom of the Mauryans-3. If at least one Aryans-2 territory is adjacent to any Mauryans-3 territory, all Aryans-2 may be converted to Mauryans-3, even if not submitted.
   4. After the Mauryans-3 kingdoms is created, the Purple player chooses any 3 areas currently occupied by Mauryans counters to form the kingdom of the Mauryans-4. If at least one Aryans-3 territory is adjacent to any Mauryans-4 territory, all Aryans-3 may be converted to Mauryans-4, even if not submitted.
   5. After the Mauryans-4 kingdoms is created, remove all remaining Mauryans tokens from the mapboard. Nations previously submitted to Mauryans remain on the map board and are no longer considered submitted.

4. Gupta Kingdom breakup: Turn 14 (addition)
   At the start of Turn 14, the Gupta (yellow) kingdom splits to form three new kingdoms, one each played by each Yellow, Purple and Green. This occurs in the following sequence:
   1. At start of turn the Purple player replaces all Gupta tokens in Rajputana and areas adjacent to Rajputana, excluding Malwa, with Rajput counters.
   2. If there are no Gupta tokens in any of these areas at the start of Turn 14, place 3 Rajputs tokens in Rajputana and 2 tokens in the adjacent area (excluding Malwa) currently having the least number of tokens (Purple player chooses which area in case of ties). Any tokens already in these areas must retreat; those which cannot retreat are destroyed.
   3. No matter what the previous state of the Gupta Kingdom, the Rajputs must have at least 5 counters at the end of this process, stacking them up in Rajputana and forcing possibly non-Gupta tokens in Rajputana to retreat, if necessary.
   4. After the Rajputs are placed, the Yellow player flips over all Gupta tokens in Malwa and areas adjacent to Malwa (excluding Rajput areas). The counters are considered part of the new Malwa kingdom.
   5. If there are no Gupta tokens in any of these areas at the start of Turn 14, place 3 Guptas tokens in Malwa and 2 tokens in any adjacent area (excluding Rajput areas) currently having the least number of tokens (Yellow player chooses in case of ties). Any tokens already in these areas must retreat; those which cannot retreat are destroyed.
   6. After the Malwa are placed, all Gupta tokens in Magadha and areas adjacent to Magadha (excluding Rajput and Malwa areas) are now considered Guptas of Magadha (green).
   7. If there are no Gupta tokens in any of these areas at the start of Turn 14, place 3 Guptas of Magadha tokens in Magadha and 2 in any adjacent area (excluding Rajput and Malwa areas), currently having the least number of tokens (Guptas of Magadha player chooses in case of ties). Any tokens already in these areas must retreat; those which cannot retreat are destroyed.
   8. No matter what the previous state of the Gupta Kingdom, the Guptas of Magadha must have at least 5 counters at the end of this process, stacking them up in Magadha if necessary.
   9. Following this, remove from the map board any remaining face-up Gupta counters.
   10. Finally, flip right side up the inverted Malwa counters counters.
