As are purple rubies. So, a split-civ module seems in order, which is going to be a a pretty big hike in difficulty, with the diomedians split up. That leaves royal ponies out so, so maybe more powerful versions of the base castes would be in order? For example, pegasi could be 10% wonderbolts, with devilish speed(about 17% faster than regular pegasi), regal unicorns could have their horns subdivided into four pieces to simulate them being able to manipulate more objects(I'll probably make the horn larger, too, because I probably can't prevent them wearing several sets of hankies and bandanas on one segmented horn), maybe royal earth ponies could be larger, or have supernaturally high dodge. Royal slippies could be giant and spin more valuable web, royal gorlaks could have subdivided tusks, royal dralthas could be big. Royal keshi would be really fast, shadowbolts(with the normal caste renamed vampiric) could suck more blood and heal phenomenally quickly, royal tentacle ponies could have two tentacles on their foreheads and some Cthulhu-esque mouth tentacles. I'll have a think about varieties to add to zebra and buffalo. This would mainly be for divided world games, but I'd probably add them into the united creatures as another module.

Zebras: Azizas gain big bonuses to every unarmed fighting skill, with high kicking and dodge skills. (Falling Caeser, anyone?)
Ibises could have longer, stronger legs (For kicking), or perhapes even a long beak. Lets go with the legs for now. :D

Horned ones could have a hard, platelike skin. Why? Most of the names you picked out for these guys are mostly based of legendary Rhinos, and altho there skin is not actualy platelike, it would be interesting to fight apponents whos skin is tougher then there armor.

Royal earth ponies you say?
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Make them super fast (faster than every other pony/beast/megabeast/clown in the world, even the wonderbolt royalty), plus insane dodging skills and the inability to tire at all.
It'll be a good laugh when they rush off across them map in advance of their armies who cant keep up with them, or casually enter forts 3 seconds after being announced.  :P

Buffalo royalty: Massive boosts to their charge attack, skull extra protected and resistant to non-projectile attacks, while fur protects from projectiles/bashing.
Zebras: Obsidian-like hooves (sharper & tougher, since they rough it without magic most of the time, they probably adapted them to the environment for combat), longer neck that can hold additional special "armor rings" (making it more likely attackers will hit the neck with it's excellent protection, compared to the unprotected head)

Alternatively since Buffalo/Zebra dont really have royalty in the right sense (rank/royalty is gained by combat achievements/tribe benefit/wisdom than physical attributes), just have them be weapon-masters of sorts (spear/shield/archer/boomerang Zebras, archer/tomahawk/charger Buffalo's)

I am here at the fortress, for they have the best targets
But the one thing it was missing was a sniper named Shaar'gat
For I am the best at sniping, all the ponies will agree
Ponies dieing, ponies crying, all by me at the fortress!
