Elephant building

[Double A]

Which K-Shah building lets you build eles? I looked at the stables unit list, and they aren't there.

Or do they only show up when gunpowder is "discovered?"

And since I'm on the subject, in Late campaign, does K-Shah have any starting units of eles or the capability to make them? If not I can't see how the AI would even beat the Mongols once.

Pretty sure they can only be recruited as mercenary units. K-Shah weren't big on eles.

[Double A]

Huh, I thought you could recruit them since you could get them in Custom Battle for 3k.

Guess those were mercs.

There's a link in the stickies to a 6.1 unit roster, there's also a 6.3 unit roster floating around this forum. That'll give you all the info you need.

I checked the unit files and building files, no way can any faction recruit elephants, only thru mercs

[strife1013]

And what area/what time period do you need to be in to get them?

Lots of far east territories can get them it looks like but you need the gunpowder discovery.

So would it be any territory with ivory?

[RabidSheepLegion]

Ivory provinces are the most likely, you can probably also make them recruitable via a building by editing some files too tho

would have been fun to recruit elephants tough

Need the gunpowder event, and to be in a region they are available as mercs. There's three pools to draw from:
