I dont care what the Romans used in the past to deal with Elephants.

In the COMPUTER GAME Triarii work fine, I have replays (from multiplayer) and WILL post them tonight when I get home.
Considering the cost of Elephants vs the cost of Triarii even if it takes two units to down one unit of Elephant that's still a win win for the Romans.

Im not sure why you are not having any success. I can guess though.
Just because you havnt properly learnt how to deal with Elephants doesnt mean you should scream out on the messageboards how overpowered they are.

When I first encountered them unsuccessfully I posted a topic stating my successes and my unsuccesses against them and asked everyone elses opinion, not starting topics ranting on about history and how things should work in my own little world.

Yeah, like the rest of the army is going to stand around and wait while I take on a single elephant unit with a couple of triarii. Get real.
This is a ridiculous statement and a waste of my bandwidth really. I could say the same about the rest of my army, or about spears vs horses in MTW, or anything really. Why did you even post this?

Most battles evolve like this. Someone sends in something that counters something, then the other person sends in the other counter, etc etc etc.
