So what youre saying is to take the snow monkeys out of the demon army and make them their own faction? Its an interesting idea. One worth consideration i guess. Maybe put them in the lower left coner of the map. South of the Demons and across the 'river' from the indians. That area seems a bit bare. Make the entire region very mountainous and covered in snow year-round. Give them a huge advantage while fighting in snow. etc etc.


On gunpowder i think there was a semi discussion considering large ornate cannons for the chinese. It kinda died off though. I think they could be included on the conditions that a) they are very inaccurate (much like the flaming onager missiles in normal rtw) and b) there is a small chance that they can backfire and explode destroying the cannon and everyone around it (i think this would be possible). I think that would add to the flavor rather than detract from it. It would require alot of work though because there would be so many new animations to create.

As for other gunpowder weapons. I dont think any others should be included. At least not without careful consideration.

Sorry about the double post.


I was looking through the old screenshots again when i noticed the Kappa elephant riders. Seeing as how these are demon armies shouldnt the elephants be twisted and demonic as well? Darker hide maybe even black. Another set of tusks. Evil symbols painted onto them. I dunno. Just an idea if you find some extra time.
