    Default Is there a reason Egypt gets African/Indian elephants but Arche Sel. only gets access to Indian?

    Seems odd given how absurdly comprehensive AS roster is in terms of taking things from other places.

    The seleucids get access to african elephants if they control the requisite african regions.

    Or maybe it's just that elephants have good taste and prefer to serve the herakles blooded line of kings and gods, and not some half-breed pajama kings of the east.

    Egypt gets elephants at Alexandria but I occupied it as AS and don't see them.

    I'm pretty sure all three Diadoihi factions can use each other's elephant stables with a Basilike Patris government in Antiocheia/Alexandreia.

    To enable the elephant recruitment in Alexandreia, you need to controle Pselkis.

    You are correct thanks for letting me know that! Is there a reason only the towered version is available instead of both?

    EDIT: Total sidenote but do movement bonus retainers stack (explorer + geographer for example)

    Because they're specifically trained elephants coming from the stables. Holding Pselkis gives you a supply for the stables.

    If you want the native elephants, you have to go west.
