Camels and elephants would have led to some very interesting skirmishes between the colonists and the Native Americans.

I wonder how easy it will be for factions such as the Mughal or the Ottoman Empire to build specialist beast units like camels and elephants? If they can grab a colony in North America and then start churning out camelry it will be utterly rediculous.

Ideally I hope that elephants and camels can only be recruited in regions in which they live wild/have a very long history of being bred.

Camels should not be trainable in America, unless CA intend to include North America's extinct species of camel the camelops. It only died out 10,000 years ago, there could still be a few knocking around somewhere.
