With my superior military, I'm able to extract an annual tribute from the smaller states in the Subcontinent, and also restrict their military to avoid an Alexander the Great: Indian Edition (and I know that the Greeks weren't vassals of the Persians, so stfu).

I capture the trading city of Samarkand and its territory.

I make the settlement that is now modern day Karachi into my capital, diverting huge amounts of funds, slaves, and citizens into its transformation from a small fishing community to a huge port city. An academy and library are founded in it, and some of the age's most brilliant and creative architects and artists design the monuments and palaces. The military begins construction of a road stretching from the city to another huge port city I'm constructing on the Ganges delta. It is the largest engineering project of its time, other than the Great Wall of China.
