In my Saka all the Indian rebel elephants got shot to pieces by my archers before they even got half way to my lines.

Elephant falls too easily

I downloaded the 1st cohort/elephant/hoplite thing, dunno if it is better now.

does it by anymeans also make javelins deadlier, and fixis the EDU? if so, than no.

I have the mod. It's wonderful. I love elephants!!! They are my clean-up pitchers.They almost make cavalry obsolete. They are especially good on defensive battles. I blitzkrieged an enemy cavalry unit with elephants and horses then wheeled around and flanked their center. The casualties racked up extremely quickly. I checked the enemy army's morale and they were all shaken. I pretty much walked through the infantry tossing them all aside with my eles and horses. The enemy general tried to pull and Alexander then turned and ran with the rest of his troops. I got a heroic victory on Medium difficulty and large unit size in a custom battle against a mid-end gallic army. I was outnumbered by 500.

I'm not sure how good they'd do in Saka territory. Even with the buffs, those rednecks with their big bows might scare my elephants.

when i sieged lilibeo, (after the elle battle) they had two more units of elles.

i had my leves throw pila @ their flank once i busted thru tha walls, and they ran up the street toward the square, smushing all the carthie Heavy Cav, and also killing most of Hamilcar's bodyguard.

I took the city. That was mad fun.

There are rednecks in Saka? Funny, I though they were all in my backyard.

Command stars do make a difference in missile/melee attack power. You'll find killing elephants a lot easier if your general has more command stars than the enemy army.

4 volleys from 3-4 archer units of 80 men each using fire arrows will rampage elephants. They have to be at the same time, of course, since the elephants seem to recover if you fire at them piecemeal.

The forest elephants I killed with level 3 Indian longbowmen. An attack of 8 missile. They will fall eventually, but if you throw all your missiles at them and they are still around, then you are going to have to charge them with cavalry from the rear where they won't throw you about. Worst case scenario is that you have no other options but to use loose formation and count on your infantry to kill the elephants. Major casualties for you, but those elephants can be taken down eventually without too many loses.

My kataphract elephants can't stay around phalanx enemies or numerous infantry without suffering an elephant death or two after some time. And this is when I modded the armored elephant to have 5 hit points.

sorry, but command stars do not affect missile or melee attacks. they only add to the defense score of units under the general...
