    It works. The secret ingredience was... patience! I just attack the wall, then they rush up and park themselves, and a single elephant sashays up and starts headbanging the wall into kindling.

    I guess I'd expected some gratuituous violence instead, but hey at least they're not putting up a circus act while one waits for that lone elephant to finish the job.

    Thanks for chipping in, guys!

    There have been times that the pause was soooooooo long, that I really thought something was not working. Pause of 30 seconds or more before one finally sauntered up to the wall. Most of the time it is shorter, but the occasional long one will really throw you off.

    I've used them a couple times, when I was short on time to get real siege equipment. I used it on the gate. I'm sorry about it not working, but it may be bugged...

    It works, he was just having the pause issue that has always been there but was unpredictable.

    Elephants are great timesavers for anything with wooden walls. No need to wait at all.
