    Default Re: ELEPHANTS how they where and should be

    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.

    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).
