Now why is it that the Parasim Maurim and Parasim Garamantim horses look like they're carved from stone? :)

Because they're early models.

You know this is a game and not an film animation or something, right? Also you know this is not an FPS and it's a strategy game so poly count must not be too high.

They may suffer some changes but an too high increase of the poly count is not an option.

It's also a WIP.

Is the the yellow-red of the Merkabim Garamantim's harness final or will you change this as it really stands out against the rest of the chariot.

Some changes are still going to be made there and the yellow saddle cloth should be removed.

last time a berber people were in a game, its usually the coastal factions that got into a load of hot water (just ask Rome in IJ or IBFD)

I hope to be the first player of the lakhmids to conquer the berbers

Interesting stuff on whether African bush elephants can be trained here. It seems they can - though i dont know if there's any evidence of them being trained for war in ancient times.

And some stuff from BBC Nature - it seems scientists are divided on whether Hannibal's elephants were African Bush elephants, African forest elephants or a separate species of North African forest elephants that are now extinct.

Wow, this is looking freak'in awesome. I really like how the Garamantines have been expanded, and I already love their chariots.
I assume that there will be Numidians also.

That's right. Go to this thread. You'll find a pleasant surprise there, if you haven't seen it already.
