Well, on the other side, because I had those bad experience with museum guards, it all depends on you to gather the pics for the armoury..... oh yeah, GSS... did you have acess to museum at TMII lately, I know that there was considerable ammount of artwork from eastern fringe of Makkasar and Maluku that time..... If I remember, the diorama also has some authentic weaponary the eastern Indonesians wields that time... and that site was allowing photography without flash... may you go there and collect some photos?

Well, I found a bunch of Dioramas in The Monas Museum. It's a room fulled with Dioramas
of Indonesian History, from the first arrival of the Portuguese until now
So, Where's the text that you ment ?????

Try browsing about Sullalat Us Salatin for our starters.... I remember I also found them on Internet, and as far as I can translate them, They explain some of their political condition, and even some detailed campaign against portugese armies and later british occupation... it was huge work of arabic literature about history of the sultanates in Malaysia... but I read them in the form of books at the library...

How about starting small first and pick a faction, like say, Aceh or Majapahit or Demak or whatever. Focus research on that so the sooner that is done, the sooner model work can start. Then we'd get something finished to show and something to base the rest from. If the focus is more on Indonesia, let's not get bogged down with Malaysia, Thai and Vietnam. We'll add those once we got more work done.

Maybe you're right... yeah... we need the experienced's advice very first...

Thank you very much Wlesmana for making us go back to sanity again....

Maybe we'll focus on Java & Sumatera first...

Yeah, the Java, Sumatera, and Malaka map finished... but with some questionable regions though... it was ridiculous, how the 3 part of Java, Sumatera, and Malaka allready used 69 regions... the hardcoded is 199 right? we only had 130 more regions... argh!!!

EDIT: Well, it looks like we allready get some map... so maybe we can made initial provincial campaign first... in this map, I think the best suited campaign is Portugese invasion of 1512... so we can focus on Malaka, Aceh, Sriwijaya, Pajajaran, Kasultanan Jawi, and Majapahit (as Jawa-Bali Hindu-Buddhist Cities)... as well as Portugal... (malaka and aceh share many unit, while the Jawi cultures also similarly share much unit, we can made 2 cultures' basic staple infantry first! and use Vanilla Phalanx Pikemen, LS Legionary, Bucelarii, and Companion Cavalry as Portugese army)...

Kalimantan is just unreachable and unconquerable region this time... I named it.... "Gaweruhwarman" - Javanese joke names: "I Don't know - warman"

----
It will be our first mod campaign!!! YAY!!!

And as our project grows, we can still include it as a provincial campaign choice!

The map regions is sonic's research, while the map drawing (in .TGA) is my job...

So. should we proceed with Portugese Invasion first? Or consider another part of the map? (personally after read about how Malaka falls in 40 days... I got the impressin that this campaign is ironical at best.....

It was a tragedy yes... but are you suggesting a Campaign for - survival (getting a horde in front of your door right away at the start is veerryyy veeerrryyyyy disturbing....)

Yeah... I found out not only you have discontent with this campaign... someone in TWC forum also doing that

- removed image because unethical words -

And I've got really nice music (traditional music!!!) that completely suits the Jawi culture!!!

Yay! I allready made some skins (modifying vanilla models), but apparently...
As my face is Chineese dominated, and Sonic's face are too fat to be used as proper face... Just look at this fatass' face on the Vanilla Gothic Spearmen model...

I didn't know what this unit is.... (just for facelift experiment)

Notice that I still have trouble to put Sonic's face in proper place... anyone has a suggestion for properly facelifting textures (notice: I didn't have any problem with body skinning, only How to proper facelift!)
