Considering Ptolomai campaign at some point

[athanaric]

IIRC the Ptolies can also train African Bush Elephants. They're the least reliable unit in the game (pitiful morale), but also the physically most powerful one (together with Indian Cataphract Elephants, who have superior armour and morale though). Certainly a hilarious and very challenging unit which I've had mixed success with when playing Saba (with Saba, they're actually less funny because Saba can't afford to lose battles). You can either use them as an absurdly expensive missile platform or as a mobile ram that might or might not end up as a suicide bomber. With good support they can be very effective though.
