Sure, the idea would be that the variants would have more UUs from their respective dynasties: the Song would have about 11 UUs (including the flamethrower and the flying crow) and the Ming their units like Ming arquebusiers and iron troops…
It sounds great, but the Divine Fire Flying Crow is actually a gunpowder weapon invented by Han craftsmen in the Yuan Dynasty and continued to equip the army in the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty had many of these creatively designed gunpowder weapons, but most of them lacked practical value. However, like the Zhuge crossbow, they are very suitable for implementation in games like AOE. By the way, most of the Chinese units in AOE3 are designed in the Qing Dynasty, and the modeling of the Iron Army is based on the abstract depiction of the Ming army in Dutch paintings, which is actually quite distorted.
Yes, we can disregard the Qinq units and only introduce the Ming units like the Changdao, and obviously the Manchu if they include the Jurchen…

The Song Dynasty used Guandao (palace guards), while the Ming Dynasty used Changdao (new units), which was great.
