Really? I would have thought that would have made him come here even MORE than usual. He must be away in that case.

Ehm, sorry if my first post is a correction of someone but :
1) Cougar/Mountain lion are different names for the Puma, nothing to do with Panthers
2) A Panther is simply a black Leopard (so i think it's the third "big cat" ?)
3) The Jaguar is about the same size of a Leopard, perhaps slightly smaller, but is larger than a Puma
All this only for precision
And i continue on this, sorry

The French seem to retain an, uh, interesting view of American fauna, dating back to the 18th century.
Some people, bizarrely, call any cat in the old genus Felis a "Small Cat", and those in the old genus Panthera a "Big Cat". They were realigned years ago and the old notion of the big and small is useless when the Marbled Cat is now among the Pantherinae.
An average cougar is about the size of an average leopard, and an exceptional cougar can be larger than an average jaguar.
Along with the Cougar, the Clouded Leopard, Snow Leopard, and Cheetah, are all plenty big, and despite old notions of what a "Big Cat" is, any hunter would refer to them as big cats.
As stated by Hedgehog, a cougar and a mountain lion are one in the same, and a puma is the same thing also. The word panther is used by some people, particularly in the American Southeast, to describe this animal... most prominently you will sometimes here the term Florida panther, a subspecies of the same animal. But most people use the word panther (as Hedgehog noted) to describe a black leopard.
BTW, if I'm gonna be foisting useless information at everyone, here's some more: melanism does occur (rarely) among most of the larger cats species, not just leopards and jaguars.

I'll be gone at leat until Christmas. 
Some feedback
1)I like it so far, though the Incan arquibusie seems a bit plain to me- perhaps a whiter colour clothing, and some gold decoration
2)my favortie unit out od all of them in the war elephant- awesoem idea, and perhaps could be useful in an Atlantis scenario
3)personally, i would prefer an elephant to a mastadon
@Ozymandas
I've read that at oen time there was a sub specieas of northafrican elephant that could be, and was domesticated for military purposes)
