although not much of an elephant myself i do enjoy slaughtering the beasties and i do kind of guess they would be in EBII :clown: so i'd like to know what species would be in and would there be different models/textures for those as well as stat differences?
as in besides indian and african forest elephants that can be confirmed in ancient warfare will the bush elephant be in as well?

Damn, that made me laugh really hard, but there are probably only Asian and African elephant species in. That if they haven't found some elusive mammoths of something, which were almost alive during the time. Just couple of thousand years..Quote:

African yes, but there are actually 2 of those, African Bush Elephants (the bigger) and African Forest Elephants (the smaller). the forest elephants are speculated to be related in size to the elephants that were hunted and used by the carthaginians and ptolemaids (besides the imported indian variaty) the North African Elephant. there are some speculations that the bush elephants were used on ocasion (or attempts were made), but it is only a speculation, so i'd like to know if EBII team plans on icluding them too. after all, the more the merrier ;)Quote:

As far as I know, the southern, larger african elephants where never successfully tamed.
Read the unit descriptions in EB. There is evidence against your statementQuote:

I wouldn't be surprised if our sources don't make the distinction between elephant species, leaving us to guess.Quote:

Uhhhh, maybe the Ptolemies can have those big hairy elephants that helped them build the pyramids. Just like they did on 10000 BC. Cause that movie was factual.
They are a bit tricky to use because of their utterly pathetic morale (4, which is lowest in EB), but very powerful. Make sure they never get stuck, especially when you're attacking a phalanx. They can deal our massive damage but a single casualty can make them run amok. Still, a very good asset for my Sab'yn armies,Quote:
