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 ?)

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 




















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.
