Let’s tell they gonna be between a camel and an elephant but closer to a camel.
They were use like scoots in altitude because they can live very high. And also for material supply on the military ground.

The Bactrian camel (Camelus bactrianus), also known as the Mongolian camel, domestic Bactrian camel or two-humped camel, is a large even-toed ungulate native to the steppes of Central Asia.

Mamluks were not Bactrian camels at all. They used another race of camel.

The Heavy Camel Rider also seems to use a Bactrian camel after being upgraded. That being said, the unit line could maybe be split.

Yeah they are kind similar. Bactrian camels are huge and hairy. Slower than other camels and very resistant.

Yes it could. Yes, it could, but with a minimum of historical consistency, only for Central Asia civs and Indian (I don’t know which one, the one closer to mountains).
We need Bactrian camels for Silk Road civilizations as trade cart equivalent.
