The Mammoths in Age of Ice

[Fenboy]

Would it be possible to bring them back for the Illians? I love the unit and the Illians are currently stuck with vanilla War Elephants.

that would be cool and have the illians spread tundra and ice over water like hyborem spreads hell fire

Wow, anti-Lanun? =)
About the topic:
1) Mammoth units would be cool. But it's just a matter of time, I think they will be done. If someone can reskin, do it please =).
Units are upgraded with time. Did you see the new seZ's clockwork golem? Awesome.
2) Tundra can be spread with some kind of unit for Illians, and I suggest it to be avaliable only inside the cultural borders. This way it'd be cool and balanced and useful to increase defence in some tiles.

There's already a Mammoth unit in Age of Ice, I'm just angling to get it implemented in FFH2

And yeah I saw seZ's clockwork golem, though I'm someone who's never particularly liked the Luchuirp, I still think it's pretty cool

I think that (or something similar) is going to be in 'Ice' when it gets released. Hope so, never made much sense for me to see the Illians start in the middle of a desert

I think that an Anti-Lanun (or just plain any other civ with a strong naval presence) could be a good thing, right now with just the one of them in the game it is either they dominate, or they struggle, depending completely on map settings/layout. Be nice to have a Civ who you can set up 2 opposing islands and have a protracted battle against the Lanun over the central water.

I plan to add ice spells that cause terrains (including water) to temporarily turn to ice/tundra.

That'd be pretty cool.

On the twenty-first day of my captivity, my host informed me that we would be leaving the castle grounds. I knew better than to question him, and so he waited while I dressed myself for the piercing cold weather. Naturally, he appeared perfectly content in the same sparse, loose-fitting robes he always wore, while I shivered under countless layers, with not a single inch of skin exposed. Taking my hand, the archmage led me down to the coast, where he bade me look out over the water.

"You were a navigator before you became my guest, correct?" asked the frozen man. I nodded assent. "Then I have a request for you. I have shown you the utmost of hospitality for this past month, and I believe it only fair for you to show the same hospitality to me." Had I the power to do so, I would have eagerly returned his "favor," but I said nothing. He gave no reaction to my silence, and simply continued talking, staring out to sea. "I would very much like to visit this marvellous Kuriotate Empire, to meet the Boy King firsthand, and to let your people learn of my existence. Far too long have I waited here, forgotten in these frozen wastes. I believe it is time for me to return to society, that my countless decades of study be put to practical use."

His voice pierced me deeper than this reigon's cold ever had. I knew I would be unable to mislead him, and I lacked the courage to refuse him outright. In my despair, I even doubted the wisdom of Cardith Lorda: Would the great king recognize the threat this man posed? Yet I suddenly found a flash of hope. My host had questioned me extensively on my homeland and my own job there, but the means by which I had arrived were touched on only in passing. Could it be that he'd forgotten my ship had been destroyed? Could it be that he had no way of reaching my homeland? Through my frozen jaw, I managed to eke out the words: "My... ship... broken."

The archmage turned to me and smiled, splitting his lip down the middle and revealing his crystalline, icy blood. "Illians don't use ships," he responded. He walked towards the waters, chanting rapidly, as the cold intensified...
