Same bonuses as the axe thrower ork. Just went through human and orc cav to try and get it a little tolerable, what you think?

No.
Cav unit that destroys buildings?! with speed 6, 38 hp and 5 range?

This will destroy balance.

Pretty sure the Wolves Riders already do that.

Wolf riders don't have bonuses to buildings like axe throwers. he wants a ranged unit with same bonuses as axe thrower - to buildings.

Also another "no" is that i really don't like idea of ranged mounted unit for now. elves are exeption because they must be masters of range.

Perhaps we don't need that, maybe could be used for something else.

Well, I can understand this being a problem so, if asking for it to be something else later on what would the thought be? Take away all the other stats/upgrades and just make it a speedy support unit of just hold off till further info?

Btw by support O keen prolly a shaman who would be like a missionary only with different ability's and weaker potions then a shaman

also saber tooth tigers i wanted to keep for elves.

A support mage?

Panthers will become mounts for elven protectors (i have in mind 2) and saber tooth riders for their archers.

I'm guessing we bringing back extinct creatures, where should the woolly mammoth go.

Dwarves.
Dwarven Battle priest at least must ride one.

We should probably use the elephants as the base.

yea. but more browny and wooly.

I thought elves would ride forestry creatures like tigers, sabertooths riders seemed to me as a match to orcs do to the way orcs act and feel. But if it is added to elves I'd like it to be a sentinels mount that would make sense for the heavy armour sentinels were in terms of elves.

I need a Mammoth for the Undeads - in cursed mine.
(Not mounted)

What's its bonus gonna be? What im really steering towards is does this unit have good bonus damage towards mounted units?

We have to make the Dwarf one first.

That image is taken from AoS - Indian Mahout.
elven protector (mounted sentinel) will be heavy lancer unit type.

What are we talking about?

About 4 different unit

And what are they.

Orc-sabertooth
Elf - panther rider
Undead - skull mammoth
Dwarf - Mammoth rider
Any more?

....
Dwarf - not mammoth rider. for now at least. it is Dwarven Battle priest
Elf - Elven Protector (mounted on sabertooth variant of elf sentinel)

Skull mammoth a bit later.
Sabertooth rider of orcs is denied. 1. orcs have already great cavalry 2. in this variant it is ranged inti-building cavalry which is really bad for balance idea.

Ok.

What about mountain goats for dwarfs like in the hobbit battle of the five army's? As maybe scouts of something...

I don't think that would be fast but perhaps maybe mountain climbing.

You guys should make separate topics since the main topic here is sabertooth rider

Yes.
