I think the units and the Li Shimin eaderhead were pretty good, but I'm right now creating a scenario that starts from the Spring and Autumn Period (´ºÇïʱ´ú) through the Warring States Period (Õ½¹úʱ´ú) with the objective being a unified Chinese Dyasty. But I've run into a few problems because I'm being too much of a perfectionist in this:
1) I can't Find units that really match the period, and I need alot. So can someone point me to where I can find several variations of late Zhou to Early Han styled: Chariots, Spearman, Archers, Swordsman, Horseman, settlers, workers ect. I'm also trying to create a unit I want to call Nongbing (Å©±ø) Farmer-Soldier which can fight and can build irrigation and roads, and perhaps settler as during the late Warring states and onward Farmer-Soldiers were a huge part of the Chinese Military.
2) I'm havign troule finding sourses on the History of this period and Geography of major cities. My Chinese is very poor I'm still learning at the university (I'm an American, I'm not Chinese) so I need to find English sources but I can't find any that give me any concrete infrmation, some seem to conflict as well. I based the geography a little on what I know, and a little on maps I have from "the Three Kingdoms" (Èý¹úÑÝÒå), but that's about 1000 years after my start date! Where can I get more acurate information.
PS. I also noted an Image in this forum of a Chinese Version of Civilization. I think that's cool. Does anyone know where I can get my hands on that? cause when I type Characters on my Civ, it comes up as question marks in the game! Thanks.
