Nusantara Total War : Portugese Invasion

[Nyz]

Thanks Mr. Cute Wolf. Here my suggestion:

a) Melayu-Sriwj Spearmen (javelin-spears) = Penjurit
is the usage of the word penjurit here parallel with the units that used word prajurit in Jawa and Pajajaran? If it’s parallel, than ok, we have some connection here…

b) Melayu Shock Trooper (double swords) = Tentera Penggempur
Melayu shock trooper used double sword, how about change it to Pendekar?

c) Melayu-Sriwj Mariners (archer-2handed spears) = Tentara Laot (?)
Hulubalang

d) Melayu-Sriwj Halberdiers (2handed spear-axes) = Penjurit Tombak-Kapak (?)
Well, Pengawitan is the name for Melakan infantry equipped with special spear stated in hikayat Hang Tuah. (tombak pengawitan bersampak emas)...

e) Melayu Ottoman Elite Infantry (archer-scimitars) = Pahlawan Syamisir (?)
You said that in Babad Tanah Jawi, it was called Bala Kauman?

f) Melayu Heavy Archers (archer-scimitars) = Serdadu Pemanah
The word serdadu have connotation with Portuguese and scimitars were the influence from middle-east....maybe just used Pemanah or Laskar Pemanah, because the usage of scimitars here.

g) Malakan Elite Mariners (javelin-axes) = Hulubalang Laot (?)
I am not sure, in Hikayat Hang Tuah, there were stated the word perapit, and in other chapter, penjajap

h) Malakan Royal Swordsmen (longswords) = Bentera Istana (?)
Bentara

i) Aiyyah…..so many elephant….Anyway, for the elephant, I think only Melakan Sultan and faction heir and sometimes others royal family members (not all) used elephant, that was: Melayu Royal War Elephants and it was called Gajah Kenaikan.

Some of the royal members used horse, while the others used Palanquin.ie Paduka Tuan (Melakan Bendahara during reign of Sultan Mahmud Syah) fight Portuguese on the Palanquin, also Sultan Mahmad Syah II (last Johore Sultan from Melakan Sultan lineage) also has been kill on Palanquin. I don't think the commoners used elephant.

j) Melayu Noble Cav (lances-cavlswords) - Pegawai dan Pertuanan. I think this unit can be made as recruitable general unit

k) For Acheh, the nobles were called Ulèë Balang. Which unit suited them? Acheh Royal Horsemen or Acehnese Honorary Guards?
