AS and Baktrias use of elephants?

[lionhard]

Iv never seen either of these factions use elephants whats the score here?

[Skullheadhq]

Perhaps it is expansive?
Give them money and process_cq their settlements could work.

And that would surely made them spam the elephants if they own all of India....

It makes sense if the AS hardly ever trains elephants, since they have so many provinces. Giving an AI-controlled AS money may not be sufficient, as they're capable to waste in on an excessive amount of constructions and forces other than elephants. If AS has money, and she decides to train some more troops, chances are she's training them in a province where there aren't any elephants to be found. For Baktria add_money should do the trick (since they're capable to train elephants in quite a few of their provinces).

Okay here is my question:

Has Annybody here ever faced elephants in the Campain trained by an AI faction and not been there from the start? I havent. This is why I cut all the elephant prices and bingo. Carthago was defended by two units of war elephants (Besides 10 other units^^) and my spies told me that bactria had an army with the armoured war elephants.

I have. In my Arverni campaign, Carthage didn't exactly have any shortage of the big, grey beasts. All their armies had at least 2 elephant units in them. They were pretty damn rich, though, owning all of western Africa, Sicily and Italy...

I've never seen anyone out east do it though, but then again I'm usually not in that area when I play, so I really couldn't say.
