Elephant...what happened?

[Demivrgvs]

I noticed someting strange...elephantes have only one hit point and defense rate of six!!! Even town watchmen are stronger!!

Anyway it's ease for anyone to "mod" this and the buil itself is fantastic and very stable after 5 hours of play!

This is a mistake. Probably a wrong copy paste or an old file section crept through. It will be corrected.

Anyway it's ease for anyone to "mod" this and the build itself is fantastic and very stable after 5 hours of play!

Glad you like it. We really did our best in all departements.

Of cause I might be wrong, but it looks fine to me.

Again GREAT mod, very beautiful

Also, those are the vanilla "cheat code" oliphants that I think are still in there because we didn't yet need the space to gank them. To my knowledge they will never be used and if we hit our unit limit likely won't exist in the game.

EDIT: Whoops, that's all of them. I'm referring specifically to the first one in the list.

[Kull]

Those stats go all the way back to v.72, the very first EB release (except there they were 1,4). But the key is that both numbers are hit points, the first for the rider, the second for the animal.

[Demivrgvs]

Mmm...maybe i've realized what's the problem... The unit description in-game show the rider's armour and hit points values instead of elephants stats. Am i wrong? I hope so.

[Demivrgvs]

I've checked and it's exactly as i said...does somebody know why it happens?
It's silly to watch a fiery beast description and read "hit point 1","Defence 6"...i can't figure out how to solve it.

As much as i know, it doesn't matter which one (the elephant or the rider) has
the several-hitpoints attribute. The effects in-game are exactly the same.
