I'm playing England right now and the Trimundin is expanding into my boarder. An army of 11 armoured elephant with cannons plus several dismounted heavy archers units attacked my huge army with a 6 stars general, 4 units of mercenery arquebusiers, 2 cannon,2 rebault units and some heavy cavalries and knights.
The arquebusiers and cannons did quite a job initially. i managed to drove the elephant units off twice, sacrificing some units and managed to rout and send about 8-9 of them running amok. however, my gunner units took too much time to reload and as soon as 6 of their reinforce elehant units reached my frontline and charged with their heavy archer showering flamming arrows on my men..
u know what i mean.. bloody scenes.. arquibusier units routing without listening to the general's horn, my dismounted knights suddenly became birds, flying and bouncing all over the place. cavalry units crushed like cornflakes despite flanking them. Worse still when those routed elephants units came back.. GOSH!! ELEPHANTS running EVERYWHERE!! i thought i was playing "ZOO TYCOON!!!" i was utterly defeated. bitter. it was my first defeat since i've finished the long campaign and i absolutely will take revenge.
Anyone fighting this large no. of elephants before? I found it almost impossible to concentrate my missiles to all of those beasts. Any advice? Thanks!!
