I'll be doing them when the units are finished for the unit info cards.

The concept and artwork for this mod are simply outstanding. So in keeping with the fantasy theme, have you considered how to portray rebel factions? EB has a nice concept for creating specialized rebels (by region), and that would fit nicely here. Three possibilities come to mind:

1) Monkey Gods (SE Asia portion of the map) - A feature in Hindu art, but also prevalent throughout the SE Asia region (Angkor Wat & Bali have some great temple art based largely on this theme). Cavalry could include "Tiger Riders" and units could feature some of the other jungle fauna from this area. A unit with Arcani-type "hide anywhere" capability would be deadly in the jungle.

2) Himalayan (For the high mountains north of India, West of China 1 and south of the Demons). One obvious unit would be the Yeti, but Snow Leopards and rugged Gurka-type hillmen could also play a role.

3) Desert Tribes (For the border regions between the Mongols/India and the Demons). A Bactrian Camel unit would be cool, plus some excellent horse archers.

I can't post images, but here's where they'd appear on your map (#1 = Green Circle, #2 = Red Circles, # 3 = Yellow Circles):

Edit: Kageka has a wonderful post in the main Blue Lotus Thread which goes into GREAT detail on the Monkey Gods (Hanuman). So most of the research on this group is already done.

some top ideas there, There is already a list of rebels and mercenaries which we will be using to populate rebel armies.

should u have enough faction space to make a SE asia faction? call them the "water people" or "sea people" (but thats in the western mediterrainian) or make a thailand faction. they can be expert naval or something, related to fish, yeah .. . .. a water faction, this is a fantasy mod, why not make a mermaid water faction in SE asia?

A mermaid faction? Eh... Can you find some asians myths or folklore that would fit the mod. Well there are fish like demons and such, but an entire faction of fishdeamons? Or do you just mean that that there should be some kind of elite naval faction?

If you look at the Army list-forum under the Rebels/Mercenaries armylist you will find a few water/naval related units...

- Kojin Infantry (shark head)
- Pirates
- Fish men
- Giant Turtle Riders

i dunno, more like a water-demon faction, with land memaids (WTF?!) and like . . . hmmmm-quick brainstorm:
harpoon-men
harpoon-throwers-prehaps the harpoon units can act as one, the men can throw harpoons or get close up and use it as a spear . . .
watever u said about pirates
fish fighters (guys with fin-like scimitars that have fish heads)
mer-warriors (mermen with tridents)
watever u said about the shark warriors
watever u said about sea turtle riders
mer-cavalry (mounted on giant seahorses)
mer-DURING-maids (lol, i made a pun, mermaids, only they murder, like head hunting maidens, a female unit, has a trident?)
octopus-men (uber guys with a mans legs and lower body, and a octopus on top. carries 8 cleavers?)
giant lobster warriors (lobsters with some man-like features, like walking on two feet, sortof like the octo-men)
giant crab riders?
maybe not lobster men, giant lobster riders?
general's body guard-
consists of a few very elite looking mermen and a general that looks like a sea god, y'know the huge beard, the crown, the blue stuff-like posidon or neptune . . . .
prehaps u can have sea dragon riders?
water cannons?
sword fish throwers?

i dont know, this is ur mod, those were just a few suggestions off the top of my head, its ur mod (wait, are u in the mod team? or am i talking to a pedestrian?) u decide weather or not a sea faction is in order and the units. . . i'm just giving my 2 cents . . ..

oh yes, a giant crab/lobster/seal or something unit would be great as a elephant-type unit! oh!oh! GIANT WAR WHALES! eh? eh?! a suber big whale unit, if possible, a flying whale unit! can come down and body slam and kill everyone! MUHUHAHAHA!
. . .
sorry, my imagination got the better of be, would a whale rider unit be possible? or sea chariots that have water horses? (though thats kinda european)
. . .
prehaps i should do a little research on aquatic asian mythology, but its ur mod . . . . doing this would make me a resercher . .. or a donater? *is lost*
