    I had some rare attempts to use them in battles against ordinary troops , but I didn't have any significant effect.

    no, not ordinaries. They spook elephants best. Using them against others is not, perhaps, so useful.

    They are definatley usefull in what they do

    But never use them, since I'm playing RTR now.

    And I thought this was going to be a thread about the Romans
    When a fox kills your chickens, do you kill the pigs for seeing what happened? No you go out and hunt the fox.

    Anytime I got to conquer Carthage or parthia or Seleucia I always have at least 2 pigs in my armies. Just for safety and because they rout elephants like nothing else. And if there happen to be no elephants in the army they are still fun to use and regenerate so you may as well use them every battle like dogs.

    I always am nice to my troops, after a battle, they not only get the women lol.... not funny, but in prebattle speechs, they've mentioned that before lol!

    But they also get a nice hot meal of bacon, pork chops, ham's, & pork roasts! So basically, you live though the battle for a city, you get women & a feast!

    Sadley its the way it was back then with the women, & still is today with some countries. : ' (
