ELEPHANTS how they where and should be

[The_Emperor]

Well I did not know whether the Carthaginians used African Plains Elephants or not. I have only found references to the Ptolemaic Dynasty.

But I do know that the North African Elephants were driven to exctinction by the Romans because of their extensive use in the games (to recreate the battles of Hannibal and Scipio).

I do wonder if people would like Carthage having smaller elephants compared to the Parthians and Selucids.

EDIT: Polybius describes the Battle of Raphia quite well in his histories and he explains that the Egyptian elephants were much smaller than the Selucids.

also why delete flaming pigs if are historically cirrect????

The Phyrric campaign happened before the Games timeframe, and that use of Pigs was a one-off I believe because of the situation. (wasn't it a siege?)

They were not used since that campaign in the many battles of the Punic Wars against Carthage.
