Also with factions who historically used them but had no territory where elephants existed i.e. Seleucids and Epirotes, the game tries to represent the fact that their armies could and did include Elephants.

Therefore the Seleucids can recruit Indian Elephants in Antioch to represent the fact that they would have traded with whoever owned India in order to obtain several of these beasts. Same goes for Epirotes.

I do have one question. How were Phyrrus' elephants transported to Greece and then to Italy? Were special transport ships needed to ferry these beasts?
