Hello. I’m a Thai fan of series total war.
I’ve just seen your mod. It’s very nice.
I quite have the historical knowledge, especially south east asia.
I have data and abundant of good photos about south east asia.
I can help you those things.

I’m researcher for Mod.
-Siam totsl war.
-New age total war.

Does this mod have Kingdom of Sukhothai?
I think Sukhotahi also has importance in that period.
It’d be excellent, if you add Kingdom of Sukhothai in faction list.

However, I encourage mod to achieve the project.

Ps.sorry for my English.
I’m not fluently in English.

Sukhothai Kingdom

In the early 13th C, the territory around the Yom River in which lies Sukhothai and Si Satchanalai was ruled by Pho Khun Sinownamthom and later the Khmers. In the middle of the 13th C Khmer power in the region wained and a combination of Tai rulers in the region sacked the Khmer garrison and appointed Pho Khun Banglanghow to become King. He then took the title, Kamornteng Si Intratit, and become the first King of the Kingdom of Sukhothai in about 1250. This was the Phraruang dynasty which lasted 200 years until 1438 when the Kingdom of Ayuthaya absorbed the territory into its own.

In the beginning the important cities were Si Satchanalai and vassal states along the Ping, Yom and Nan rivers, which flow through this basin. By the time of the 3rd King, King Ramkhamhaeng, the youngest son of Intradit, and as a result of his prestige and war power, the territory was expanded to include to the North, Nan, Phrae and parts of modern Laos to Luang Prabuang, to the South, Kamphaeng Phet, Nakhon Sawan, Chainat and areas to the coast of Malaysia, to the East land across the Mekong to Vientaine in Laos and to the west land to the coast of present day Myanmar.
After the reign of Ramkamhaeng the extent of territory and or Sukhothai influence was not precise as some vassal states became independent or joined Ayuthaya or Lan Na. Before the arrival of the Tai, the area was inhabited by the Mon and ruled by the Khmer. Today one can see Khmer works of art and architecture constructed before the Kingdom of Sukhothai.

After the formation of the Kingdom of Sukhothai, Khmer culture, art and religion still was an influence as it is to day. The design of religious places and the beliefs in Hinduism and Mahayan Buddhism reflect this. In 1283 King Ramkamkhaeng ordered the creation of the Thai alphabet and Sukhothai produced its own currency to facilitate trade. The map of Thailand opposite shows the Kingdom of Sukhothai in the late 13th C.

The Political Philosophy Pho Khun Of The Sukhothai Kingdom
The distinquishing features of the Sukhothai Kingdom were the presumptions of the Sukhothai Kings. These were not the God Kings of the Khmer Hindhu style as adopted by the Kings of Ayuthaya, but rather a paternal administration.


A stone inscription of the time explains the laws and customs of the administration to be:

• succession to the throne was to be from father to children and from the older to the younger
• the people could trade freely with no tax
• administration was with justice
• prisoners of war were treated well and could eventually become citizens.

A bell was hung in front of the Royal Palace and cit could be rung by any person who had suffered distress or who had a complaint. The King would respond to the request and decide for his people.


The Sukhothai Empire and Its Neighbours In South East Asia
Sukhothai sent gifts and delegations to China to enhance relations for advantages in trade.Lan Chang [ Laos ] was a fellow Tai Kingdom and support against the ever threat of the Khmer Kingdom. The Mons ruled to the West in Myanmar and provided Sukhothai with access to the sea. The King of the Mons, Farua, married Ramkhamhaeng's daughter to bind the relationship. From the very South, Sukhothai imported its Lankawong Sect of Buddhism from Nakhon Si Thammarat where it also controlled influence. King Ramkamhaeng was a friend of King Mangrai of Lan Na and King Ngammuang of Phayao. They were all Tai. They formed alliances, particularly to fight any Mongol invasions from the north

We don't currently have Sukhothai in our mod because it was not formed until very late in the time frame of our mod. Our time frame is 1171-1271 AD, and Sukhothai was formed in the middle of the 13th Century which is over 200 turns into our mod. Our faction list for the first version of AUH is pretty much definite, whether or not we expand upon it in later versions or create a late era version starting in the 13th Century is something to consider later. We have plenty on our hands as it is without thinking that far into the future and making empty promises.

There will be settlements with Thai regional units and mercenaries however, and some of the earlier Thai attempts at autonomy might be represented through challenge factions to a Khmer or Pagan player. So there's room for the inclusion of Thai things, just not as a separate faction during our time frame.
