So no china total war? China had high technology from ancient times and fielded armies that would have put the romans to shame. they had the first halberds, lammelar armor, it was even speculated that since it has been put forth under peer review findings that palaeoxolodon namadicus only went extinct around 3000 years ago ... i wonder if the chinese may have actually used them in war?

but seriously all under heaven/rise and fall of Chinese empires was one of the longest and most magnificent epics in military history.

But do think about it.... 14 ton, 18 feet high war elephants
