This new mount engine grants to spain power of fire.
Bisons, they are a mixture of mount of elephant , Elephant Rocket Crew , elephant rocket launcher. The model 3D bison is exported since http://www.turbosquid.com , I used stratmodelconverter , meshconverterv1_0_4, animationutilities and I modify the following files: descr_mount , export_descr_unit and battle_models for modify the textures of soldier Crew and the positions of the riders.

You should make them smaller, they are the same size of an elephant.

Thank you for your interest , is really a bison is less high than an elephant, but if it towards more small must be to get down the turret and to modify the position of the two riders, I could be done , there is no problem.

The size is similar but the hump of the bison, has made me modify the position of the riders especially the forward .
In desc_mount.txt change position (x, y, z) for each rider relative to elephant root node or bison root node.
rider_offset 0.05, 1.35, 1.37
for
rider_offset 0.05, 0.95, 2.37

make a grizzly mount or a rhino, that'd be awesome

A rhino would be really cool!

The initial model was a triceratopo , but it is not more medieval.

A bison is not medieval either. Having a bison with a cannon in his back is as fantasy as having a triceratop so why not make a fantasy mod with triceratops, rhinos, grizllies and everything. Fantasy mods are cool. There are a lot of people that dont like them but I like fantasy mods.
