Looks like a spooky skeleton to me. Not sure how that connects with Indian history though.

Almost 100% of Indians have skeletons.

The Forgotten Achievement Icons seems to be all mixed up in general. The Incas have the old Slavic Castle design from the mod for example, which is just plain wrong. The Italians have a Crow, which seems to be more representative of the Magyars(?).

Just curious why you associate magyars with crows.

Matthias Corvinus.

Interesting. I haven't played the magyar campaign so I'm not familiar with the person, but I get your meaning.

What civ do you think the crow is representing?

I don't know. I have a feeling these are just random images. I guess a creepy crow goes with the Dracula civ, but I'm still curious.

IIRC the fish seen on the magyars' achievement can be found in one of the campaign screens. Perhaps the other ones are hidden somewhere too. All in all the forgotten's singleplayer content is embarassingly lazy so I wouldn't be surprised if they picked some old concept art either.

That would actually be a Raven, not a crow.

Edit:

King of Hungary, also known as Matthias Corvinus, a surname which he received from the raven (corvus)

But yeah, thanks for the downvotes.

Indiana Jones.

Looks like a camel snout and a camel armor that goes over the eyes
