    I don't really understand what you mean, but some counter measures are what i will list. Use archers with fire ability to scare elephants, spearmen to attack catties, and some light fast cav to outflank and hit the onagers.

    A few Incendary Pig(s) would get rid of the elephants really easily.

Let him not laugh too gladly when the water runs through his fingers, nor stand too silent when the setting sun makes red the veld with fire. Let him not be moved when the birds of his land are singing, nor give too much of his heart to a mountain or a valley. For fear will rob him of all if he gives too much."

    IIRC I actually faced something rather similar in multiplayer and won.

    The one in multi player IIRC didnt have any onagers just half ele half cata

    I made a square (2 ranks deep at front) from 15 Spartan hoplites and placed 3units of (cretin i think) archers and 2 onagers in there.

    The onagers didnt really do anything notable if memory serves but the archers routed the eles (after the other player killed his cataphract geberal by charging my front with him) and the cataphracts destroyed themselves.

    Of course this was a while ago and I may be remembering wrongly.

    Ever watch Return of the King? It would be like that except with elephants on all sides.
