elephant army
heres how to make a good elephant army for beginners using only 10k
you recruit two elephants, two rocket launchers, 5 or 6 horse archers, only four if it goes by ccs rules and the rest as some kind of foot infantry.
wont be much left after the elephants and rockets so your army will be relatively small.
you open up the battle with your rocket launchers placed to the fore. dont use them on fire at will but order them to fire into the middle of the enemy formation at a unit that is between the front line and the back line for maximum effect.
also if the opposition has rocket launcher or ballistas you might want to fire a few salvos at them since rocket batteries have a good anti artillery ability.
keep your elephants out of range of any artillery if they have any [most wont] and away from any archers for now.
once all the salvos are spent you rush towar one flank or another with your horse archers in the lead followed by the elephants. and the artillery crews plus all your infantry behind. keep the army near to one another and the general near to the elephants to keep their morale up.
usually a concentrated attack like this will panick any part of the enemy line and then you proceed to attack along the rest of the enemy line which is no doubt maneuvring to stop you.as long as you keep close support to comfort your elephants even fire arrows will not panic them easily and usually if you play it out skillfully you will start a chain rout and defeat the other guys army.
its not unbeatable but it is a good tactic if you like elephants.
