Mayan Hornet Throwers??

Then I ordered my artillery and musketeers to target those singing chickens.

Woohoo I have a new sig!!

When I've seen them used by the AI, eventually every nearly unit, on both sides, on the battlefield seems to be affected. Including the hornet throwers themselves!

[Bob the Insane]

They seem to operate like the dead cows from the Trebs... There is an area effect on the ground (if you zoom in you can see it) and anything that walks through it is aflicted for a period of time.

Alpaca and Wishazu,

It's too bad the aiming at a random piece of ground doesn't work anymore. For area affect weapons this would be great. I remember that Shogun had it for archers but haven't seen it for any units since. If anyone knows how to do this...

I think, "hide anywhere" attribute for mayan hornet throwers would make them a great unit, otherwise their weapon is kind of pointless. With "hide anywhere" they could be hidden some distance ahead of the main corps allowing them to explode their weapon on advancing enemy without affecting own troops.

You try staying quiet and hiding with giant jungle hornets crawling all over you.

Well, at least according to their description, hornet throwers are supposed to be covered in mud an protected from them hornets...
