Praets can't stand the shock-axe horror.
They can with cats or trebs backing them up. I might add crossbows to the stack if you're being particularly ornery.

That's not a minus (-) sign Mylene...
I hate elephants
Elephants get a hefty bonus against mounted, which I understand to be historically accurate, so there is some precedent behind their dominance. You could say the scarcity of Ivory helps to limit their appearance some what, it's not like elephants were common place in medieval conflict.
Come on TMIT, just because it's a scarce resource doesn't mean that it will spawn in player controlled lands every time. When it does it lends itself to monopoly (rofl-stomp), but there will be plenty of games where elephants won't be a factor. Unless I'm missing something here and the AI is adept at using elephants? I only play single-player so that's my reference frame.
I understand the reasoning behind this, except I believe 50% is overwhelming.I didn't mean to offend the history buffs, I just mean to say that an elephant's smell and loudness added an intimidation factor to the battlefield, which horses might find unnerving. Perhaps this was the thinking behind giving them a bonus against other mounted.
Is that in Vanilla? I never realized that...
