This definately sounds cool. You want to use quite a lot of factions too. That's impressive.
Now, what about this Martial Artist unit? Are they a peasant unit? From my understanding, chinese martial arts originated from peasants learning to use farm weapons and such as they were not allowed to carry weapons.

Let's be careful with including the Huns out there. We should really stick to calling them the Xiong-Nu, if that's who you're referring to as the Huns. It's not at all clear whether they really where related to the Huns who run amok in the West. According to most Sinologists, the probably weren't. So I vote for calling them the Xiong-nu, not the Huns.

Minor nitpick.
Carry on with your mission, my good sir. :toff:
