Re: Elephants
I originally asked for elephants back in the Sword Dojo. I anticipated a Siamese / SE Asia mod, where elephants could be used in combat by generals and/or kings.

Not much reply back then but they did appear as a unit, not a special, and seem to have been somewhat controversial ever since. However, this may just be the result of the changing of the game to what it is has become now.
I no longer play, but I see that the game is fun for quite a few. I reckon that special units like elephants are what makes the game enjoyable for many.
PS There are some good pics of Thai elephant armour and usage on the web, and a recent Thai "war" movie had elephants.

It's unlikely most TW fans will see it as it's in Thai, and sadly this little promo doesn't have the best parts of elephants in combat. However it does depict an interesting time where gunpowder was really getting going in a time of swords and spears.
