Ulm with their new heretic weapons can likely stop a bless rush, an elephant rush may be another matter. Where did you say you were located again?


I'm fairly sure Ulm has a leg up against other human nations with defending against an elephant rush (elephant-less human nations, that is). They have high protection and defense, both of which, if the manual is correct, help in defense against elephant rushes. Plus, Black Knights are fast, cavalry (and thus larger than unmounted units), epitomize all the advantages of Ulm, and can do quite a bit of damage. Though I doubt they cost less resource-wise, elephants cost quite a bit more gold-wise. As a least resort, I'm not afraid to bribe one of my neighbors with gold in exhange for an attack. Elephants cost less than Illithids, yes?
