Defeating the Mongols/Timurids

[GFX707]

I just lost 2 full stacks of Venetian Archers, Venetian Heavy Infantry, and Feudal Knights; to six units of Elephants. Elephant Artillery are ridiculously overpowered.

Yeah. I tried to fight a Timurid stack "bridge battle" style, and although none of the Timurids moved or shot from the other side of the bridge I lost 20% of my stack to those things. Then the other 80% fled as soon as their infantry touched mine.
