@Dead Baron Great mod. Mind if I make a suggestion for two new units. Your new War Elephant reminds of me of a few units from TW Three Kingdoms DLC.


1. War-drum elephants (Support Monster)(Yin Unit) - Provides Melee and Leadership buffs to nearby units. Has Peasant archers on their back.

2. Celestial War rhinos (Monstrous Cavalry)(Yang Unit) - A squad of Celestial Dragon Guard who ride rhinos into battle. Two versions - Halberds for Anti-large. Swords and Shields for Anti-infantry. A Cathay version of the Empire's Demigryph knights.

Lore
An expedition from the lands of Ind have returned with two great beasts; elephants and rhinos. The elephants were quick to be useful for Cathay. The rhinos were used by the Celestial Dragon Guard as war mounts when some of them witness the rhino's great strength as it easily charged through a pack of orcs with ease.


PLEASE NOTE
This discussion is more of creating ideas and suggestions. But does not necessarily mean they should be created. It is just for fun discussion. If you are lucky, maybe someone will turn that idea into a reality.
