New Southeast Asian Unit

[tangjinfeng]

Hello everyone, I first came to the forum about half a year ago and found Bakuel's exquisite Southeast Asian units. He made most of the Malay-Indonesian state, as well as the Khmer army (during the Angkor Empire), but sadly he does not seem to have finished the series. The Khmer army of the Dark Period was not completed; As the leading power in Southeast Asia, the units of the Siamese army and the Burmese army remain vacant (I found very old Thai troops on the forum, which look out of place with later models)，Bakuel's Vietnamese army looks very shabby. I'm not Southeast Asian, but these lacks make me uncomfortable, all the civilizations around them have unique appearances, but they don't, like a missing corner on the world map, so I try to make new Southeast Asian units. Luckily, I remembered the Mount & Blade's great mod "Suvarnabhumi Mahayuth" , made by the Rasiya team and reflecting the wars in Southeast Asia in the 16th century. I extracted and modified some weapons and equipment from it and utilized some EU4 and MH assets. With the help of my friends, I learned to convert models and bind skeletons, and I will share the units I made on this topic!

I speak terrible English, but I would like to thank tantanmen Spillsandstains, Bagdemagus, Matte M, LPlate2 for their help

I first uploaded Siamese units, based on the Southeast Asian Army of Bakuel and Suvarnabhumi Mahayuth production, all units tested. The only problem is that they may be a bit large because the original files of these equipment and weapons are so large that I can't shrink it too small, but I control the infantry at less than 120kb, some around 120kb, and the cavalry at 150kb, and if you still feel that they are big, you can simply replace them with the weapons that come with the CIV4 and it will be much smaller。
I didn't exactly copy the image in Suvarnabhumi because they dressed the Siamese in too much European cuirass.

The Khmer army (Longvek) of the Dark Ages, whose materials and photos were very scarce, Suvarnabhumi made some hats based on drawings and historical photographs. So far, only a infantry using phekak in wooden armor, nobles with long knives, royal guards as pikeman, buffalo riders (based on Khmer tradition), musketeers have been completed. The image of the Khmer cuirassiers and horseback musketeers is based on paintings from the Cambodian Museum and the Burma and Indo-China (Armies of the Nineteenth Century Asia) (Ian Heath), and I will also make an infantryman, spearman and cavalryman. To my distress, I did not know how to make the Khmer armies of the Udong period, because they lagged significantly behind the Asian armies of the same period, their firearms were scarce and inferior, they could not have fusiliers or grenadiers, and there were no traces of the use of large firearms.

Burmese army

The Burmese army during the Toungoo dynasty. Includes 3 Mon soldier units of similar models

Because of some stupid things, I only got these done. Their image is derived from the Burmese army of the Toungoo and Konbaung dynasties. I didn't make older Pagan dynasties because they didn't leave any clear image. The older Pyu people are not directly related to modern Burma, and perhaps the Burmese absorbed some of the culture of the Pyu and assimilated the Pyu, but I would not see Myanmar as the successor of the Pyu, because the Burmese also absorbed other ethnic groups in Burma, such as the Mon.The Burmese in the modern sense are the descendants of a certain Qiangic tribe, perhaps they are the White Wolf Qiang, who entered Myanmar as a related tribe of the Nanzhao group at the time when they wiped out the city-state of the Puyu people in the Nanzhao state (the Yi consider the Burmese to be their related tribe, perhaps like the Huns and Bulgars).So then I might set up the Nanzhao-Dali units, and their ancient units would serve as units for ancient Burma.
In short, I will continue to make the missing Burmese units, as well as another related regime, the Arakan civilization, which diverged from the Pagan dynasty.
Myanmar's new uu, it will be cassay replacing lancer, and Manipur's uu will be arambai replacing horse archers or pistolier, as a distinction between the two civilizations. Cassay is the Burmese name for the Manipur cavalry, at the end of the Toungoo dynasty, Manipur's pony cavalry frantically attacked Upper Burma and attacked Ava, the Burmese army was completely unable to resist them, and the homeland of Alaungpaya was also attacked, so he conquered Manipur after establishing the Konbaung dynasty and incorporated their pony cavalry into the Burmese cavalry (of course, the cavalry in Southeast Asia is also ponies)

It is good to see there are still active modders.
This bull riders, are they historically accurate? So did they really ride bulls in battle in Southeast Asia? I like to learn more abouth this.

Hi, about the samurai riding bulls, I don't know about the Khmer just because I saw it in other games. I tried to find information, but I couldn't read Khmer and had to google some Khmer history articles that seemed to show that soldiers during the Angkor period rode oxen or drove ox chariots for training and combat. But I can explain the Siamese. This samurai dates from the 1765-1767 Konbaung Dynasty invasion of Ayutthaya Province, when the Burmese had already destroyed Ayutthaya and part of the Burmese army was attacked by guerrillas from the village of Bang Rachan in the northern part of Ayutthaya Province, who managed to contain the Burmese for several months (according to Burmese, although they were attacked by a small guerrilla group, but mainly because the rainy season was delayed), and folklore says that one of their leaders rode on a buffalo to attack the Burmese army's artillery fortress. A 2000 Thai film dramatized this history, and the image of riding a buffalo became their hallmark.

Thanks for explanation.
I am thinking about using it as a unique Unit for Siam of Khmeer, that's why I asked. I did not want to use a "fantasy" unit for it - but it seems to be real.

 

[tangjinfeng]

update， unique-looking Burmese Konbaung dynasty fusilier (1800s-1855), consisting of 2 regular Burmese soldiers in different uniforms and 1 Burmese irregulars (called "dacoits" by the British in the Indian way)
You can apply it to various scenarios (Anglo-Burmese War, Thai invasion of Shan State) as a late Burmese musketeer or fusilier

 

[tangjinfeng]

I really like the concept in RI, reinventing the military in history. Most of the Southeast Asian armies look peculiar and different from India or China, so most of the units I will try to get as close to the historical image as possible, I will post some historical paintings, usually painted by Europeans or themselves, many details are not obvious, I can only make approximate shapes - this is a historical image referenced by the Siamese fusilier, a marching regiment in 1807, they wear this red hat, use a flintlock gun with bayonets, another ancient painting shows the details of the Siamese military cap

New unit: Konbaung dynasty's cuirassiers and cavalry, reflecting the image of Burmese cavalry in the early 19th century and 1880s
I reconverted a 44.Henry rifle for him，only 15kb.
After the Civil War a large number of American lever rifles and the Spanish version of Remington were introduced to Indochina by French smugglers in Pondicher

Thank you, beautiful units. At the same time, your Spaniard can actually be used as a second-line soldier outside the tropics - while the front ranks sported full-fledged armor, in the rear protection could be as economical as you like, even in Europe. By the way, if the Philippines is also in your area of interest, you may be interested in the topic of local armor - they are very unusual.

This is a combination of a very advanced design using archaic materials + "multiculturalism". As an example, according to the link, the armor of an advanced Indian model, but made of brass and plates of buffalo horn. At the same time, Indian armor was combined with a bronze helmet of the Spanish type. By the way, very beautiful.

Hello, yes they belong to Milicias Provinciales,but mainly composed of locals, these textures are based on paintings from the colonial era

The model is from Imperial Total War, and I have some more Spanish European and American models to take advantage of

I saw that Bakul had made some Moro warriors wearing compound armor, and as heavy pikemen, you can find them in the Austronesia Unit Pack in RI

Hi guys, by importing blender and then exporting (I don't know why), I managed to make the model shrink by about 30kb, after which I will make my work all shrunk and re-upload
