Santri have little fire arms and mostly they use bamboo or clurit in fighting

Arek-arek/Surabayan

Arek-arek is popular term for peoples of Surabaya and all of thim is civilians armed either with rifle, bamboo, or clurit.

Arek-arek compare TKR and Hizbullah not so strong but number of them and spirit make them strong.

TKR(Tentara Keamaan Rakyat/Safety People's Solider)

TKR is Indonesian soliders combination of PETA, the native soliders formed by Imperial Japanese in 3 October 1943, Heiho, assistant soliders native formed by Japanaese in 2 September1942 and ex-KNIL, Dutch Indies soliders who want fight for new nations.

I have been developing this game since November 2015. First i try to make some simple game about Bali in 19th century after inspaied by book "Bali in 19th century". I creating 9 factions of Balinese(Badung, Mengwi, Gianyar, Tabanan, Klungkung, Jembrana, Buleleng, Bangli, and Karangasem) and 2 faction of Europans (Dutch and England), but add more faction, Mataram. I didn't think about battleroom, a skrimish battle betwen the large army, but i think it will be good for my game if i have battle.
