Looks good, though I think that the green of the buildings and the archers shirt looks a little smooth/plain. You could try to roughen things up using this strategy:

-Using Paint.NET, we set color 2 to complete ALPHA
-Now we set color one to a color that will be overlayed, and it should be partly alpha (ie: black, 3/4 solid)
-Now make a cloud (render > cloud)
-Set it to multiply, and then fool around with roughness
-You can do this a few times as needed, until it looks good, seed the pattern until it seems well placed.
-Note that it may affect tileability of the texture.

This is what I used to make scorched textures for destroyed buildings in Military, although with more alpha it should do nicely in making the textures look more natural. Also, make sure that the overlaying color goes well (something like a darker green or even a clashing light red (with more alpha though).

*Lookin' good though, and a good idea. Do you have a unit list?

A few things about your tech tree.  First of all, ninjas are Japanese, not Chinese.  They really have no place here.  Secondly, why would a ninja come from a shrine?  Third, why would he summon dogs?  Other than that, it seems okay.

Well, dogs wouldn't be bad, since I'm pretty sure the Chinese did use war dogs (or did you mean dogs as food?, because they use them for that too).

I live in China so I could help a bit! (I'm not chinese).

As Jonh said, NO ninjas!!
Chinese people do eat dogs, and chickens would be really well placed, since they were first bred in China. There were an acient war weapon made by CHinese that is called Kwach (or something like that) It was basically a wooden cart with hundreds of arrows attached to it and all of them with small rockets, well, you know what they do.
I will try to find a picture.

Oh, and the crossbows should fire really fast but have a weak attack and short range.

I have an idea, why don't you create a new "race" like a Haradrim or Rhun kind of thing.
It doesn't have to be real, an then there is not that thing that you MUST put something or other things.
Look here:

http://forums.revora.net/index.php?showtopic=50570

I had the idea of making a Rhun mod... But I'm really lazy, lol.

PS: The Ktcha thing I said, there is a episode on Myth Buster that they make a replica of one of them, I still can't find a picture...

I'm Chinese and living in Hong Kong.  I could contribute some ideas:

1. The building could be Great Wall.

2. Not every Chinese eat dogs.  It is prohibited to eat dogs in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

3. The soldiers could be Terracotta Army.  See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terracotta_Army.  Great Wall and Terracotta Army can well fit in the same period of Chinese history.

Looks great, and much better than before (I'm assuming that the lime green pics are there to show contrast between the old and new). The textures are 1000 times better, although the chicken looks weird (cartoony).

Looks good! Much better then before! But I think you shouldn't make every single building the same texture, try wood or something like that.

I'm Chinese and living in Hong Kong.  I could contribute some ideas:

1. The building could be Great Wall.

2. Not every Chinese eat dogs.  It is prohibited to eat dogs in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

3. The soldiers could be Terracotta Army.  See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terracotta_Army.  Great Wall and Terracotta Army can well fit in the same period of Chinese history.

I live in Shanghai, and as I know, here, eating dogs are really expensive and they are a luxury food. So I don't know in which part of china he is making.
-------------------------

Make a palace like the one in Beijing, the Forbidden City one, it could be the principal building.
