LOL!!! Sweet, thanks very much, John! I gotta do a little finessing, then I'll post a patch with it in.

We need these in the Vietnam game, Mike. Elephants were used by the Viet Minh and later the VC/NVA.

Okay, they have a speed of 6kph, but in-game, overland is one hex per turn, two on road. I hate to make them faster, because they are not that fast, leave them?

Awesome work as usual Warhorse!

I've been playing a lot of Age of Empires III lately (India), so this mod was like deja-vu to me.

All kidding aside, this could be a useful and interesting transport unit for some asian nations. I have already used the donkeys and camels in Rod's "Ende Gorge" scenario, and thought they were really neat.

I assume they can double-time? I see the double time icon, but didn't want to assume anything. Although some folks think they should transport only, I don't see anything wrong with the idea of a soldier on the back firing a rifle - a low attack factor unit with some range. Wouldn't be unbalancing, and not unrealistic.

But again, nice work.
