Do you like to use elefants?

Geez, I never had an elephant crew die before the elephant. Ever. How can that possibly happen. Is the crew more likely to die under a missile attack since the non-ranged weapons can't reach them?

Same with me. But sometimes when you have a reduced unit, in the next battle they may start with as many elephants but less archers on them, so i'm sure they are seperate entities for the game, which makes me think it's theoretically possible.
Btw, i can easily live with an elephant unit that doesn't lose its elephants but i remember in vanilla i once had a unit of chariot archers and when the battle began, they only had charioteers... that wasn't exactly what i used that type for
Man, i can hardly remember vanilla

i confirm that. sometime no archers left on the towers, but still a lot of elephants in the unit.

Elephants, when used correctly are awesome! Just let the enemy waste there javelins and arrows and your good to go rampaging. Plus by then the enemys moral is lower from continues fighting. A charge from the rear and you will watch even the most elite either fly in the air or run with the tails between their legs. But ofcourse, make sure you are economically ready to handle these guys. I absolutly love them. (I've got triple silver chevroned ones)
