Here are some notes I made to kick things off - will make more sense when I post the proposed Khmer roster, which I'll do shortly
Champa Roster
"The Cham used virtually identical troop-types to Khmer, but seem to have relied more on heavy spearmen and initially less on cavalry and archers than the Khmer."
"Cham elephants are all crewed by a driver, a javelin-thrower, and a parasol bearer at the rear."
"Bottles of self-igniting "fierce fire oil" were sent by the King of Champa as a tribute gift (and hint?) to a Chinese emperor in 958."
Suggested additional units when compared with Khmers:
- Crossbow cavalry / infantry
- Horse archers
- Heavier spearmen
- "Fierce fire oil" casters (like Viet fire-throwers ?)
Image resources
Making these units should be really simply considering the resources we have, and I am going to do them and Khmer together - hopefully should be our quickest faction to date (which isn't saying very much!).
What I am reeeeally desperate for are photographs of Cham people to use for face textures, I want them to look different from the Khmer as much as possible despite their equipment and arms being very similar. f we can find any, then any Malay/Asutronesian looking faces will do I guess.
