So medieval has hot air balloons and airships.

Is there a Giant Eagle or Wyvern or "Box Kite" to carry 1 pawn and maybe 35kg (flying Alpaca?)

This inside the typical tribe's "starting with" technologies? (so it could be used in a no research play-through?

An expansion mod for SRTS Extended, it adds a Neolithic SRTS craft option, starts unlocked.

Slightly better than walking. Like a very slow and low range (max 20 world map tiles) drop pod.

Adds a single SRTS craft, a Cody type lifting box kite, able to hold 1 pawn, plus 35kg of cargo.

A Super Low Tech ("Sky Lantern") Tribal or Neolithic, wood/cloth "Drop Pod".
Its "fuel" (repairs) is wood logs.

Notes:

Inspired by "SRTS Expanded Medieval" (I borrowed & "poorly" edited gfx from, as a stand-in).
All credits to OG artist.

I may add, to represent "sending a gift via 1-way box kite", the below:
Min Passengers > 0
Max Passengers >1
(this would still be max 20 world map tiles/spaces)


IRL:

These can be viewed at the USA War History Museum, online.
They were used, mainly as observation platforms, previous the development of the "Zeppelin" or "Blimp" (proper name: "Dirigible"). Units able to loft over 300kg were made and used, with success.
