Maybe it's a preview of what to expect when a cannon ball hits an elephant.

I imagine that to be more of a downpour in comparison to the splatter we see in the screenshot ;)

Being next to an exploding elephant should have serious morale penalties. Elephant intestines draping your uniform and guts clogging your musket.... eugh.

Of course you are all making the mistake of assuming that a cannonball can take down one of our mighty grey war machines. Fools! An elephants skin is harder than the strongest steel, its tusks are as sharp as the finest blade, its trumpeting is mightier than the crashing of thunder! ALL SHALL FLEE IN FEAR BEFORE THEM! THEY WILL BREAK YOUR ARMIES AND CRUSH YOUR PATHETIC ARTLILLERY!!!

*Cough*

So yeah, I'll be very disappointed if elephants can't catch cannonballs mid-air and return them to sender in a violent fashion. They should bounce off harmlessly at the very least.

It'd be best if they caught them with their trunks, swallowed them, and then shot them back out of their trunks again, I think. With machinegun like speed.

Yeah, they could swallow them, but then they could also stockpile on them. So, if an elephant swallowed cannonballs from 20 seperate battles, he could unleash them all in one major, climatic battle. It'd be like an MG42, except with cannonballs.

I assume blood/gore is a toggleable choice on the options menu so the peace loving hippies out there can continue to pick flowers and build cities while the rest of his swim through intenstines and rivers of blood.

After watching the video a few times, I think thats the only scene that has blood thats clearly visable. Makes me think they will use the MTW2 style of showing blood on uniforms instead of actually seeing spurts flying around.
