Kingdom of Majapahit - An Empire of Water - Extra History - #1
Added 2018-08-24 17:30:01 +0000 UTCIn this series we will explore the history of a short-lived kingdom that united the diverse, 13,000+ islands of Indonesia: Majapahit. Before Majapahit came along, however, the Kingdom of Srivijaya and the Kingdom of Mataram laid the stepping stones.

Sent what I can afford. Thanks for extra history about Srivijaya and Borobudur, of which I'm only aware from games about civilization.

2018-08-26 01:03:38 +0000 UTCThis is going to be great, but I noticed something: The Dutch Colonial Troops armor is colored all the same. But what they're wearing are Breastplates over Buff Coats. A Buff Coat is a form of leather armor either worn separately or in tandem with a Breatplate, that has the benefit of being lighter and more flexible but with the downside of not stopping a bullet (a sword thrust or ricochet into the groin however. . .) .
