Default Re: T\'ien Ch\'i, and how they rule!

My girlfriend is a big fan and scholar of the Warring States period of China, so she's taken a liking for the Spring&Autumn variety of T'ien Ch'i.

Nobody seems to comment on the _very_ nice charioteer commanders.

I'm rather surprised that these people have cavalry instead of chariot troops. Reading "The Art of War" should show everybody just how central _vast_ chariot armies were in the early China.

But still. The charioteer commander is heavily armoured, fast and deadly. Just recruiting a handful (say 4+) of them and positioning them to do a flanking rear attack can have rather spectacular results.

And since they are all commanders, one can beef them up with missile protection and extra armour.

Nice. I still hope the cavalry get's changed to chariots though. So chinise

Huge wooden crossbows too, of course. Just look at the terracotta warriors.
