The Aztec guy should be seated on an Imperial Mammoth (See here www.sdnhm.org/fieldguide/ fossils/mammoth.html) note the large head and the shoulder height of 3.9 metres.

Actually, isn't a Jaguar the 5th largest cat? Lion, Tiger, Panther, Cougar, Jaguar..
Mr. Aztec Warrior (reminds me too much of the guy from Next Friday) perhaps could ride a panther, that'd be interesting. Or, rather, a mastadon.

Furious, keep in mind that the large imperial and columbian mammoths were large savannah animals. A good rule of thumb is that the bigger they are, the more open their habitat is likely to be.
DPII will do as he sees fit, but I'm just suggesting the mastodon as a flavor alternative against other elephants, and given that most of central america is forested, a smaller mastodon seemed more fitting. Likewise, if you're gonna get loose with history (why not, for a non-historical generic game) then an imperial mammoth might be more suitable for a north american plains indian (like that guy on the "Iroquois", er, Souian mounted warrior stock unit).
Whatever the correlation, smaller forest elephant species seem to be more domesticable than their larger plains relatives, including the cyclotis loxadont being marginally easier to get along with than the more common savannah loxadont species.
For ease of animation, why not just put an Aztec, etc., form of the howdah on the backs of various beasts? And it then would conform with the stock War Elephant without contradicting the sizing of the other mounted (horse) units.
Just a(nother) suggestion.

These units look great, Dom Pedro II - I can't wait to get them into my mod! Any chance of you doing the Native American and African settlers and workers that I requested in another thread?

Cougar/Panther/Mountain Lion is considered a "Small Cat", it is the largest of these, but can't even roar. The Jaguar, on the other hand, is the largest American Cat, and I'm pretty sure it is bigger than the Panther (but I'm not positive). It is definately smaller than a Lion and the largest cat, the Tiger.
Not to stay this off-topic.
The Zulu with the captured rifle looks fine,
so do the others.
Fab work indeed. Just as great as your other units..

PS If I can say my thing.. Wouldn't like to fantasy parts like soldier riding a jaguar or Puma or whatever catlike animal. Keep them on horses, elephants, camel as in history.

Expanded curiosity on the subject brought me to this site, with its excellent overview of elephant species/subspecies, and their usages in war:

Yes! I think its my fault for all my Gourami anticts a few weeks ago.
We've got weird unit requests like Corn Chuckers and Stick Figures, Kinboat's "Deli-line", much less appearences by Xen, our resident Roman, anything else I missing?
