Mythos_Ruler Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 The "Champion" elephant unit, or War Elephant, is the Mauryan player's primary siege weapon. There needs to be a variation for this unit, and one or more for one or more of the Mauryan "hero" units (Chandragupta or Ashoka). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khopesh Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 2 Archers per elephant? Does the elephant itself actually attack too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythos_Ruler Posted October 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Multiple archers per elephant is for the "Cavalry Archer" unit. The War Elephant is pretty much just for siege ability, unless we get passive attacks, then we can add an archer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gudo Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Sounds like a job for a turret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Falcão Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 The "Champion" elephant unit, or War Elephant, is the Mauryan player's primary siege weapon.Someone posted a photo of an Indian fortress gate with spikes on it and said the spikes were against elephants... Will there be a feature to represent the spikes? Yes, denying elephants completely is a bit OP, but what about returning some damage on each hit?

Loki1950 Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 I think that the spikes would only be for those cultures that had contact with Elephant siege units.Enjoy the Choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythos_Ruler Posted January 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 The elephants will need these prop points:- Driver (behind the head, on the back of the neck)- Archer1, Archer2, Archer3 (the elephant archer will have up to 3 archers on its back for the elite rank)- Head (for plumes, crests, forehead armor and such)- Turret (on the back, for howdahs, e.g. turrets)- Chest (front of the chest, under the throat, for possible chest armor or bells)Any else?

quantumstate Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 Does the projectile prop point need to be different from the archer prop point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythos_Ruler Posted January 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 The projectile comes from the propped dude (the archer). Same thing for all other cavalry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idanwin Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asian_elephanthttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_elephantThe african elephant is larger. African ears go up more than asian. The skin of african elephants is more wrinkled. All african elephants posses tusks, but not all asian ones do ... there's plenty of differences!
