No elephants in memphis

I checked it out, and it's because only Carthage has ownership of the forest elephants. I don't know why. Ptolemies have ownership of towered forest elephants, bush elephants and both indian elephants once they get over where those belong.

So this means i won't be able to train elephant's with the ptolys at all? Or do i need to conquer another region? Or can you fix it? Just so i know where i stand

P.S. thanks fo looking into it Bovi

Possibly you can just add their ownership in EDU. It might be a model conflict on it though, causing CTDs when using them. I suggest you try to find the places where you can recruit the other elephant types though. The recruitment viewer is your friend.

yes, but i think the RV also lies:D... so the forest elephants with towers weren't even ment to be in memphis and Theron? just the towerless ones? becouse the MIC states elephantes hulaeoi lubokoi or sth. like that, wich are the towerd ones. This means that to train elephant's i would have to conquer nubia? That sucks though... i thought t

There appears to be a bug, a mismatch between EDU and EDB. EDB says you should only be able to recruit untowered elephants, while EDU says you should be able to recruit any elephant but the untowered ones

. I suggest you add the numidia ownership to the forest elephants in EDU.

what good will that do? whati is EDU anyways... I'm kinda a noob... I enyoy playing EB, but i dunno how to mod it... I cant train the neither in axum nor meroe

so if you could guide me through... if i could fix you could post a patch or sth for others... so

again pleas

I don't think it's important enough to post a fix about it. The historians have been saying conflicting things too, from what I heard when asking about this, so I might make it ahistorical too. What you do is open EB/Data/export_descr_unit.txt (hence EDU), then search out the african forest elephants, and add numidia among the owners of the unit. Good exercise to ascend from noobishness
