    First: post in the Q&A forum not in the tutorial one
    Second: It might require some tinkling with the AI files. But remember: most elephants are missile units, they are not meant to charge into a melee. Same is true for horses: the missile ones don't charge.

    Gigantus is right, you will need to change their class to heavy cavalry in export_descr_units.txt.

    Find this bit of the entry for the elephant:

    Code:
    category         cavalry
    class            missile
    and change it to this:

    Code:
    category         cavalry
    class            heavy
    They should now act as heavy cavalry.

    So simple and yet effective. +rep

    On another note, since I have tried that in the past with partial success, I would also suggest adding prec in the attack attributes
