Shouldn't elephants be a regional troop for almost all factions? I think any faction that would have conquered Indus valley would have started using elephants in warfare, at least in the region.

i would deffinately agree. any chance of that being changed?

it provides a decent incentive for far off factions to make the trip to india.

And why not in numidia (or the right Africa province) too? Even romans that were oposed to the elephant use in battles (and that extinted the forest elephants just for fun

) used them some times. Why shouldnt it be able to everyone that conquers numidia or india? Maybe with more turns to recruit or an bigger price.
