The Newbie Nightmare
In my mod, there are 4 types of cavalry:
Heavy Cavalry - move=2, v.good attack, good defence - a linebreaker unit
Light Cavalry - move=3, poor attack/defence, bombard attack (to represent hit & run attack)
Camel Cavalry - desert inflicts 1 or 2 move penalty, which camels can ignore, requires camel resource not horse - gives the arab civs an advantage in their own backyard, and cavalry is still useful in industrial age
Elephant Cavalry - powerful linebreaker unit, v.high attack, zero defence - so can be captured, making elephant units a commodity in themselves
Dom Pedro II's camel units, whilst not of ideal quality, fill the gap nicely for most camel & elephant units. However, I need a heavily armoured war elephant as a counterpart to the European Knight/Cavalier:
Ideally, this unit would be a combination of the following pictures:
Two more pictures. Note the spikey bits and chains:
Now, these pictures are of the Daz3D (Poser) "War Howdah" and "Noggin's Elephant Armour". These are commercial models, however, again, I am willing to pay to get this unit made if the Poser guru him/herself doesn't have these products. I think you'll agree that this unit certainly fills a gap and is well worth being made. If I were to pay for the model, I would certainyl want the finished unit to be up to a high level of quality.
N.B. As far as the rider goes, I'm not fussed. A half-naked Michael in a loin-cloth and a turban would do fine, since the focus of the unit should really be the big and scary elephant.

That Persian War Elephant looks like it's going to be sweet.
And I swear I didn't tell anyone you were making those guys
