Elephants vs Skirmishers
I'm able to kill an entire unit of african elphants with one or two volleys of javellins. I can route them on one volley and kill them on the second.
I'm not sure if that's what you wanted. It will force eastern players to really out flank and out manueuver the skirmishers. Or, you could try tempt the AI or opposition player to spend their javelins on lesser units.
I think it's cool, but the AI is too stupid to protect the elephants. I can nerf them before the main battle commences.
Strength melee Archers
They seem to be a bit difficult at times to route when using calvary. I smash in to their flanks to begin with, then they loosen up in formation, and pull out spears. They are able to kill a handful of my calvary, which does not seem like much, but for a player like me, calvary and how I use it is always the key to my victories. So losing 5 or 6 riders to archers will hurt me since those very Horsemen will probably hit 3 different groups of infantry in 3 different waves. Not mention chasing down routers. (I love calvary). I never worried about archers before, till now. Unless I use a general's calvary, regular seems to take a bit of a beating. Not much, but a bit. I thought archers had poor melee skills to start with. I don't see how low armoured units like them would stick around for a cavalry charge.
