Well the lions walking around it aren't neccessary - more aesthetic details than anything else I would imagine (though it would have been a nice anti-infantry idea). Dunno if the generals locomoter could support "walking" for the battle elephants
Hmmm, well making a balanced fourth side would require less work than I TC. I would start one myself but :

b) Haven't got myself around to moving from ra2 modding to generals and c) Im too lazy
Uhhh as for the war thing, I don't remember saying anything about that :P
Careful
