I think Chattrapati Shivaji and Maharana Pratap are the 2 best military kings. They were able to completely defend their empires from the Mughals. Not only that, they served as a focal point for unity and developement. The unity installed by Shivaji is still seen in Marathas and Marathi speaking populations today. Buildings built during Maharana Pratap's time are some of the best I've seen.
