Yes, it's a nice effect in battles, while not affecting buildings much.

One of the best sequels of all time, IMHO

wut

1000 food seems a lot. Seleucids and Mauryas had significant numbers of war elephants on the field. Seems a shame to limit them to a couple dozen per match. If they're more of a battlefield shock unit, then having 30 of them can turn the tide of battle, but not necessarily bulldoze entire bases as they currently do. In fact, I'd remove their crush attack altogether to focus them more on combat (hack) than siege (crush). Folks get too caught up in the naming of the attacks. "Crush" isn't literal, it means "siege damage."

Maybe: 800 health 80 hack and 20 crush 200 food, 200 metal, 30 seconds, 3 pop Attack type should be Tusks, not Trunk (lmao). Game needs trample effects. If implemented, the attack can be lowered a bit. Or, perhaps elephants can deal melee splash damage.

Correct interpretation. btw-those stats are insane, namely the attack and cost.

Yeah, I dislike attack-ground for this reason. It can have its (narrow) uses (especially for splash damage), so I don't oppose its inclusion from the game. What I really think will solve the original issue of ranged units always targeting the meat shield (because it's closer) would be attack-group.

Hard disagree, but here we are.

Carthaginian Standard Bearer. I'd like to eventually have a Standard Bearer class unit for every civ, one for Infantry (pictured) and one for Cavalry.

When choosing Hannibal as your Carthaginian hero, you unlock the African Veteran champion at the Barracks. These guys are veterans of Hannibal's Italian campaigns and are the deadly core of the expeditionary Carthaginian army. They have the pick of the spoils, so wear Roman chain armor, wield the Gladius sword, and carry the Roman Scutum shields, all the best equipment looted from Roman battlefield dead.

Not for that shape. They seemed to be relegated to heavy cavalry.

Not a bad start. Maybe a texture variant with larger scales?

Well, Minecraft is just a bunch of cube meshes (inefficiently) stacked on top of each other. Should be relatively easy.

Definitely matches that last one. Needs to be iron though, and I can add a plume in Blender if you put some space for it in the texture.
