...are worthless. Seriously. They are no longer worth using. They cost more than 10000 to train, have more upkeep than a *naval fleet*, and get absolutely SLAUGHTERED by ranged weapons. Arrows will cut them to pieces quickly, and a unit of Peltasts will kill half a unit of elephants instantly with a single volley. I was commanding an army today lead by a 4 star general and was fighting a much smaller army lead by a Captain. I had a unit of elephants charge some archers, and a unit of Peltasts was right next to them. All of a sudden I saw my unit of 36 elephants drop to 12 and run amok. Then 3. An entire 10000 mnai unit of elephants dead in 3 volleys from a peasant-levy unit of Peltasts.

Is it intentional that elephants are so vulnerable? I know they were hardly they tanks they are in vanilla, but seriously....the way they are now is just bad. They simply aren't worth the price tag. *disbands and replaces with Hippeis*
