And if you stop them from trampeling, they only have their trunk attack. At damage 17 (strength 20 - 3), reach 0, and attack skill 10, not great for a 100 gold unit. Average heavy infantry are better armed.

The more I look at them, the less dangerous they look.

IIRC, fatigued, bypasses armor.

The trample attack?

No, the previous poster was saying that elephants have prot. From memory, the chance of being hit by missile weapons increases from fatigue.

The chance of bypassing armor also increases with fatigue (I think).

This is why I believe ghost grippers and slingers to be synergistic and effective against elephants.

I think the implication was that they have low protection (that doesn't necessarily warrant any special tactics to overcome).
