No... Chariot is valued as frontline shock troops, and well, they are lead by Lesser Nobility... the higher Nobility rode Elephants!!! Well, I didn't want to just used RTW Models, they'll look ridiculous, especially their face is too caucasian, I'll use sonic's face as template for javanese army face if he's thinner (Sonic is really fat and I can't use my face because I'm chineese-dutch descendants, it will be funny I know, but unhistorical to have entire javanese army comprised of three quarter chineese, and a bit dutch)... How about your face??? (I'll try to get my friends' face too...)
And the bodyguards is clearly depicted as Infantry surround their generals in Babad Tanah Jawi, holding their generals in shoulder mounted carts if he was a royal family member, and just spent entire battle watching and directing, except when his line is broken, he'll dismount and fight on foot... (lazy royal blooded generals), only lesser career generals rode their horses / elephants into the battle from the frontline.
Oh yeah, Papuans are definitely different from africans, we must made entirely new models, and can't copy another mod's models because they don't have soldiers who wear batik skirt on their trousers... or having keris and Javanese styled bows for nobility (almost like a composite bows, but made from bamboo fibers, the commoners use wodden self-bows) Oh yeah, some tribal AOR soldiers will be depicted nude... or with loinclothes.
maybe the only vanilla models we'll use is horses, elephants, chariots, and perhaps Roman Peasants / Archers, because they could easily modified to wear blangkon and trousers....
