since we are on the subject of non-historic meso-american units, I think some cavalry units for the mayans, aztecs, and inca would be much appreciated by many people. I know these civs didn't have horses, but I don't think they had iron-working either, so lets not let that limit us. I for one would be satisfied with something like a jaguar warrior riding a horse as an aztec knight, or a chasqui scout riding a llama Great work over all Utahjazz and here's to more units of a similar nature

I completely agree that we need "knight" units and to a lesser extent "cavalry" units for the Mesoamerican and South American civs. I've been behind this idea for awhile now.

However, Chasqui Scout riding a llama = no. That would be very... wrong, considering that llama's are not riding beasts, and definitely not war mounts. It'd be more ridiculous than mule or donkey mounted troops.

what about a lama chariot? ^ ^;;;;
also knights dont have to ride anything. Knights are just relgious(usually) warriors at the top or near top of the social ladder. Thats why I use uthajazz's jaguar warrior(because its better and more realistic than civ3's) as the aztec replacement for the knight

but kodoma, horses werent always used for ridding, couldnt over maybe 500 years or so of breeding make the lama rideable?

@ master kodama
I was just joking about the llama

@ shirokobbure
I agree that a knight does not neccessarily = a mounted unit, but I generally prefer mounted units for units with higher movement ratings.
