....the illustrations maybe just a wee bit on the overdramatic side mate....

For the better parts perhaps dramatise dfor effect,but bull elephants engage like this in the wild as well,so it stands to reason that two in opposition would do the same in set piece conflict.I do believe this was covered in Ospreys book on elephant warfare throughout the world as well.Would be a nice touch

All i can say is;

The left team will win.

The one guy on the left throwing his pila into the face of the right rider.
The archer on the right is too drunk to hit a barn so he'll be the next one
to eat a pila from the left.
The rider from the left doesn't show any sign of returning the long spear while
it's owner will be the next to get stabbed by the long spear from the left.
Oh and i guess that guy who's already dying didn't even get a name in this story.

The crews don't mater.
It's clearly a beast-on-beast affair.
Elephant on the right is bigger plus he wears headgear.
So he wins the day. And he goes home, with the dead crewmen dangling on his back.

i think some of the elephants should start mating randomly.

Best Rome II idea yet!

Approved

Maybe they should have elephant, with riders who carry pikes!

Be cool if they had elephants that defacated at random intervals during battle as well, they say the soldiers in a unit react to friends dropping and dying, why not elephants as well?

Now that's what we call a step too far. Blood, dismembered limbs and burning peasants? Sure. But giant piles of elephant dung all over my nice clean battlefield, no thanks.

This brings up the question: How the hell are elephant vs elephant animations going to look? Do they bash eachother with their trunks until one suddenly dies?

ALSO: Will you be able to kill the riders/archers on the elephants individually?
