So I wanna do some major stuff to the Chinese to try and make them fresh, and fun to play, because of this I'm also going to have to lay down some stuff for suggestions for them here:

- No expanding, or updating their mythology beyond basic stuff like techs/balancing. At most techs may be removed from certain gods because every god having 3 tech each is dumb, and borderline stupid in the terms of balancing.
- Anything over-reliant on new models/animations. Unfortunately AoM modding is still limited in the department of animations, buildings, and building death animations are fine, and ships to an extent as well (due to being incredibly basic) unfortunately Unit animations are very tricky, with Cavalry ones being even more so (having to animate BOTH the rider, and horse in tandem)
- No Replacements beyond buildings. Explained above. Animation is hard as hell, even more so when you are being paid bugger all, and have tight deadlines. Not to mention a lot of MU, and Soldier animations aren't too bad, just that the units themselves are too generic (though to be fair, information about the Ancient Chinese military is pretty scarce beyond the Art of War, and Equipment)
- No new godpowers. Unfortunately AoM is very limited in the code department.
- Strict Timeline, the Chinese in EM are being boxed into Han Dynasty - 1000 CE, the most advanced thing they're getting are a Flamethrower, Fire Arrow, Fire Lance and a Flame Ship, that's it: no Cannons, no Arquebusiers, etc (don't whinge about the Atlanteans getting Musketeers and Cannons, they're a fictional civilization, and there's far worse, more advanced fanfictions about Atlantean technology out there)

Things like units, unit names, techs, buildings, features, etc
