Elephants at War ( warelephants again ! )

Here screenshots of 21 War Elephants

Some of these elephants are based on Carthage WarElephants, some are based on Khmer ballista Elephants and some on Bakuel "vietnamtrungsisterselephants" ...

I found really interesting the animation of the Ballista elephants, even without the Ballista. Perhaps more interesting than than classic War Elephant ... So, as the War Elephant is a bit a pure "fantasy unit" for some civilizations like Meso, Native and Europe civilizations, I imagine these ones could be different and could throw some kind of "bigarrows/spears" ( the reason I suppress ballista ). Interesting at war

The Egypt one is not mine at all : it is Chugginator Elephant. I just changed the carriage and the driver ...

The Celtic one is not mine at all : it is sepamu92 Elephant I just enhanced the cover ...

As I previously said, some carriages are quite "nude". It's ok to anyone who wish to add shields or weapons or anything to go with

Weapons are not my best part !

My apologizes if there is not your fav civ War Elephant : I'll add more on the next update of Ethic Mix More mod and here of course

I posted a comment in your download section : I love the carriages you did for your TAM War Elephants !

Just love war elephants !
Really nice reskin.
The Celt elephant is a nice wink

Strangely, it is the best units I have.

man, what is it about the war elephant that brings out the best in skinning and creativity?

The fact that they are bigger/larger than simple unit, which give re-skinner / modder the ability to be a bit more creative I guess ?

In fact, I find really easy to "ethnically" customize a WarElephant ( or a Mammoth ) because of the size of their sides : quite an empty space you can fill !

For the unit creation beginner I am : War Elephants are enjoyable to texturize ! In addition, War Elephants are a kind of pure fantasy units depending of civilizations ... Bakuel made a fantastic Greek WarElephant who is accurate in history because Greeks used WarElephants. But Viking or French or Natives : no. So, there is more freedom in fantasy !

I really have no idea how to use it. When I try to use the Carthaginian variant (for a unique unit), the normal War Elephant gets what I presume is the Carthaginian skin and texture and all, while the Carthaginian elephant looks like a normal one.

Now, I do put these art files in Modules/Custom Units, so I suppose the normal War Elephant could indeed get a new skin. So I could rename or remove some files.

But I have absolutely no idea which files I should use for the Carthaginian one, nor do I have any clue how to set up my CIV4ArtDefines_Unit.xml.
