    Default how made you to gain against the elephants of wars?

    I am explained, I currently have a campaign which makes that I am in
    war against Seleucides. Their armies is often made up of 3 or 4
    regiments of elephants and then comes the hoplites and the
    légionaries. The legions in Damas do not launch a pillum and in spite
    of the courage heroic as of the my légionaries and auxilliaires, I am
    made "smash" each time:p

    somebody with a trick versus elephants?, the ignited balls
    thus do not craient any panic among the elephants it is combat with
    the body with body

    PS: I am nevertheless an old player of RT war but there I
    cannot any more what make? ..... I give my place of princeps légatus
    to the first which finds me a solution:p
    thank you by advance

    Try recruiting some light auxilia (foot or mounted) that throw javelins? Slingers? More archers? but javs would be best. Or do a bit of vexilation and bring some javelin armed cohorts over from elsewhere to deal with the pesky elephants.

    Good question! Good to hear you're getting challenged. How about showing us some screenshots of your empire?

    i find everything too ez in this mod. i totally am always the main empire faction, and none of the others ever expand that much. i am playing in h/h and it still seems too easy. the enemy seem to rout from my roman legions regardless of tactical advantage. are romans just way stronger compared to other factions? will post a pic of my roman empire at 239 bc on h/h

    Jeez, 239 BC...
    No wonder you are having difficulty finding challenges, you blitzed every nation you came up against and didn't give them time to mount a "fun-worthy" defense.

    just a precision on the subject of the elephants of war. I knew of
    course that it was necessary used units of javelins, but there has
    less to make ten units of javelins versus 4 regiments of elephants it
    is not possible, especially that my line of face of légionary made
    smash by the légionaries séleucides which are supported by palanges
    and the cavalry on the wings overflow each time....
    strange bus in spite of my many hours to play and in different mods, it is the
    first time that I see that

    I will try to attract the elephants far away from the line of principal battle while i hope that the cavalry
    enemy will not charge my auxilary

    PS: for the screens, I dont understand I have only black squares and yet my Tga files are well converted into format JPEG?????

    PS bis : This mod is a drug .................................................................. :p

    Angel is reworking the stats for RS for us, and the challenge should be a lot harder. Also the money situation will be a lot tougher. The version you're playing is essentially a beta, and we've been working every day to change things using player input and suggestions. So thanks for the feedback and rest assured it will get better and harder.

    To beat Elephants use javelin units. Because of their str agianst Elephants its best used agianst them. Next patch will fix this issue. Making it where Elephants are tanks and Javelin throwers are Anti tank .

    I play "hard in campain and very hard in battle. but sincerely it is
    the first time that I see this. but that says it's cool to find a
    difficulty similar;
    who said that the legions of Rome would be always
    victorious)

    I persist: this MOD is a drug
    ........................................................................................................
    I begin a new game to see whether it' starts again, and see
    whether the kingdom ptolémaic take the top on the séleucides

    this game médium on campain and battle
