BTW, what about this Jawara unit concept (soory if it was a rough pic)..... I think the dual swordsmen animation from some certain mods can be used as reversed grip swordsmen like this... but if the model can't made in reverse grip, then we'll use normal grip

btw, I waiting Tosa's reply on my PM.... we'll have our own forum soon, as discussing everything in 2 thread (in forge and in mod discussion), become less handy... and our dev forum in forumotion is for more private discussion

anyway, to stop Romaphiloi sonic from whinning about my works, here's the short descriptions about Javanese soldiers:

Javanese-Sundanese Peasants (sickles) = Tani

Villager force, have no formal training in battle, but their sickles is heavy enough to puncture most armour rather easily, and pissed off peasant mob could be more far more dangerous than real fighting force, depends in the right circumstance or leadership!

short:
Kroco forces are commonly drawn fom peasants and urban poors, given cheap spears and mass produced bamboo shields each. For most of the part, they are only told to march and obey simple orders, as their skill with spears is doubtful, and their courage is only marginally better than untrained peasants.

Javanese Watchmen (archer-golok) = Jogo Karyo

Javanese Knights / Pendekar (2handed keris swords) = Pandhekar
short:
Expert in the field of martial arts, perfected in lifetime training. Pandhekar is easily counted as the best and the most inspiring warriors, as they are often chivalrous warriors, ready to give their life for a good cause. Of course, their large two handed swords are another good reason to respect them.

Bintara Sultan's Chinese Guards (crossbow-scimitar) = Punggawa Cino
short:
These elite soldiers are drawn solely from the ranks of muslim Chinese. Their deeply shared religious passion, coupled with the fact that they are outsider and can't hope to wield the power by themself, made them a respectful, multi purpose elites with their skills in chinese crossbows and scimitars.

Javanese Noble Knights / Satria (keris panjang) = Satriyo
short:
The nobility, who devoted themself in lifetime training of martial arts, are among the most important leading parts of the Javanese army. These men command respect and admiration from their underlings, and given the fact that they are nobles, they also had acess to expensive armoury as well.

Majapahit Royal Shadowguards (overhead tombakkeris) = Bhayangkara

Javanese Chariots (chariot-archers) = Kreto Tempur

Chariots may be an outdated war machine, but blade covered chariots, coupled with archers to pick the enemies from afar, is still the best choice to cut and break enemy cavalry forces, as well as softening enemy line before the chariot charges afterwards.

Native Forest Worker Elephants (elephant-javelin) = Prajurit Gajah
short:
Abundance of elephants that was used in daily economic activities, means that they could be drafted into military usage too. These men and beasts are actually not a real soldiers, as the elephants are more comfortable to pulling logs and tear down woods, rather than trampling humans and ramming gates.

Javanese Armoured War Elephants (elephant-javelin) = Gajah Wesi
short:
Real war elephants are rarity in Javanese land, but when it was really required, will come with the best things available to protect the elephants, because properly trained war elephants are both time consuming to train and exspensive. A heavy armour, made of steel scales, seems worth to protect the beast!
