I have always been curious to find out if there was any sort of historical merit to including the flaming pigs in vanilla (I had concluded that the devs must have gotten the idea from Hannibal's trick with the flaming cows), but I have never encountered a mention of them in any source; could you tell me please what source there is for pigs being used in this way on the ancient battlefield?
