Well, Saba have mostly unarmoured and low armour units, which are the exact units the elephants were not ment to attack, since they could dodge them, + they usually have javelins which are Elephant killers.

Use the Elephants agains heavily armoured units, and you will see them getting their asses kicked. Also don't leave the eles in the thick of battle for to long. Once they've done the damage get them out of there and Charge again.
