Hmmm...seems even size 4 Gaths giants get squashed pretty easily by elephants. Back to the drawing board.
In other news, had my first mage go insane. Never played with R'lyeh allowed in a game before and I am starting to wonder whether this might be a broken game set up - letting one of the strongest nations in the game as the only underwater nation...I don't mind since I am curious to see how their dominion thing works but suspect it will be pretty tough to stop.
