Maybe a balloon/ air ship could be added as a advance/alternative of the hawk, given a much greater recon field of view, I us air elementals for recon, but they come late.
I'm surprised I didn't think of that...oh, wait...I did.
Hmm..what about Airships as a Luchuip Bird UU? It would probably be better to make these replace the upgraded forms of Hawks that I plan to add for later in the tech tree. The Luchuip could get a better, mechanized version at Machinery instead of Commune with Nature/Feral Bond (I haven't decided which yet), but lack the ability to have them carried by their recon units/druids.
