The wonderful use of elephants

[Alexanderofmacedon]

I think elephants are great. If they're not rampaging through enemy lines, they are a great platform for archers.

You do have to be able to use them well though. You have to time the impact of elephants knocking over enemies with your main battle line hitting their krippled one.

Also it's good for scaring the crap out of enemy cavalry (good for mainly cavalry armies such as Armenia, etc.)

I, myself have mastered the phalanx. In the time of RTW and RTR it would seem the phalanx is very primative, but if you master it, then it's not so bad. I'll need to get my firewall to allow me to play a multiplayer game. I'd be very interested in seeing my phalanx abilities against your elephant abilities. That would be a fun battle!

P.S: It's a little late, but welcome to the forums!

EDIT: Oh, and welcome to the forums Seleukos, and yes LONG LIVE THE PHALANX! (Do you really live in Greece? If so, PM me all about it)
