Bayinnaung[]
- The Burmese Tigers: The Sunda Royal Fighters are modified to Toungoo Warriors and can be converted.

- The Mandalay Cobra: Bayinnaung has several Toungoo Warriors with him in Pagan. Several Toungoo Warriors are also present in southern villages and will join Bayinnaung's forces when discovered. Some Toungoo Warriors follow the king Tabinshwehti in his camp to the east.
- The Royal Peacock: Since Dynasties of India, several Toungoo Warriors are stationed in Pegu. They can be converted in order to circumvent blocked-off passages.
- The White Elephant: A couple of Toungoo Warriors protect a Mill in Lan Na and will join Bayinnaung's troops upon being discovered. Since Dynasties of India, a separate pair joins Bayinnaung's forces in the south, west of Sukhothai.
- The Old Tiger: Toungoo Warriors are boarded onto Transport Ships to the west, taking part in Thinga Datha's naval invasion. Before Dynasties of India, they were not modified to Toungoo Warriors.

Trivia[]
- It may seem strange that the bare-chested Sunda Royal Fighter has some armor. However, according to the historical record Kidung Sunda, the Sunda elite troops under Patih (minister) Anepaken wore golden scale armor (asisimping emas) and breech/trouser (lancingan).[1]
