ELEPHANTS how they where and should be

[Aymar de Bois Mauri]

The Egyptians used the larger African Plains Elephants? When was this?

Because I have found many references to them relying on the small African Forest elephants because the Selucids cut the supply of Indian Elephants.

At Raphia the Ptolemies were described as being at an initial disadvantage with their smaller elephants compared to the Selucids.

You're right. That info is incorrect. African Plains elephants (sub-saharian elephants) were never used in warfare due to their untamable, savage nature. Ptolemaic Egyptians did use smaller North African elephants in battle, but they were no match against Indian-Asian elephants. PROMETHEUS info is wrong. Carthaginians used this precise sub-species of elephant: North African elephants. Not the African Plains elephants (sub-saharian elephants). These last ones were NEVER used in war due to their untamable nature.

Please check your sources, PROMETEUS!! I do not wish to review EVERY Historical detail in the game to see if it is reliable or not.

EDIT: Also I think we need to make elephants more vulnerable to light infantry and skirmishers than they are now. Perhaps giving them a bigger bonus vs Elephants and reducing the Elephant hitpoints.

I know the Romans used Velites against them in the Punic Wars to make them run amok, and that should be a viable counter (since the terrible flaming bacon is no longer included).

Working on it for the Alpha 0.3 release.
