I've never seen/heard of an Elder Dwarf, Asmeg, Capricorns, Ichtysatyr, mermidon (hahaha), giant ants, or tide warriors

Anyone have some info on them?

Dwarven Elder is an "empty" unit with no description that is propably not used anywhere. It might have been meant as a leader for a special independent province like the ones with Cyclops with their hammer and few special sites.

Mermidon might be Myrmidon, special unit of Arcoscephale theme "Golden age".

Giant ants might be one of the critters available from Summon Animals.

I don't know Ichtysatyr, but Tide Warrior seems to be an underwater unit. If it is not a unit already in the game it might be a new unit for "the third water nation". As it is based on Pangaea, Ichtysatyr might be one unit for that nation too.

That's a cool bit of effort you've done.

I've been working on an updated Version of the unitattributes.xls, and currently have almost all of the independent unit stats listed, and I can probably lift a lot of the summonables from the original. I've made it sortable by availability (where can you get them), command capability, sacredness, unit_ID, name and a lot of other things, but it's nowhere near ready yet. More news when it gets nearer completion.

They sound like they're from the new underwater nation. Look here.

[Edit: erm, well, Capricorns, Ichtysatyr, Mermidon, and Tide Warriors, anyway...]

It might be fun to toss them into a water province with a few simple map commands just to see how they hold up in battle.

Has anyone made any progress on making a compilation of the base images and attack images in the proper pixel sizes?

I am finally at the point in my mod where I am going to be modifying existing sprites to convert the units since I am absolutely horrible at digital drawing.
