Do you want to defeat War Elephants? Or train them?

Use javelins - if you are playing Rome then use Velites. Just keep in mind that tt will take a while for the javelins to wear the elephants down.

And use flaming arrows with archers if you fight elephants, it's very likely they will run amok and run down your opponents forces.
But if you play with elephants you should click every time on distant enemy unit so yours elephants will not fight only one unit, but will create massive mayhem in your opponents ranks and less likely run amok, but beware of skirmishes.

mice! Thats one ay to defeat elephants!

Or flaming pigs - that'll scare em and you can have bacon butties afterwards.

Or option three - 2+ units of velites in hand to hand after pelting em with javleins first.
