.xml files - parent="elephant_indian|template_unit_champion_elephant_melee" What is "elephant_indian"?

[DesertRose]

Been looking through the .xml files, and I stumbled upon this line in the Maur champion elephant:

<Entity parent="elephant_indian|template_unit_champion_elephant_melee">

I can't find the source of "elephant_indian" that determines how it modifies the template.

There is a folder called mixins that is in the templates folder, check that out.

Mixins are a great way of adding extra changes or details to child templates without having to edit the child templates too much. The WFG team has really designed a very very powerful system of managing the game's entities. Mixins have yet to be utilized to their fullest extent, but the game already has a bunch of good examples of how it works. You can even use multiple mixins.
