Re: Ermor(Middle Age) VS Elephants.
I thought of another nice tactic.
If you have a special anti-elephant army, and your enemy uses elephants in support of his main force. He/she will probably place the elephants on the fringes of the army to prevent them from trampling his/her own forces when the elephants rout. Your force will probably not survive.
This is the untested tactic.
Fight a battle against them to see where the elephants are positioned.
Position your anti elephant force at the other side of the elephants, at the back.
In the battle the elephants will probably charge towards the anti elephant force, running in front of the main force of the opponent.
With luck, that is also the place where the elephant force routs. Trampling across the main force of the enemy on their way out.
You will probably lose the anti-elephant force. Unless you set them to fire and flee, but then you have a smaller chance of routing them.
Problems with this tactic:
- Flyers
- Opponent changes tactics between battles
- You will lose that battle
- Sacrificing mages to deal with an army is always a bad tactic in the long run. You need every RP you can get.
