How to deal with elephants

[OmikronWarrior]

Starvation will send morale to the pits as well (-4, I think). Still, the issue with elephants isn't so much how low or high their morale is, but what it takes to trigger a morale check. Your best bet is to a spell causing fear (such as Frighten), as almost any other method involves inflicing a lot of casualties (which is very hard to do to elephants due to their very high HP) or getting close with a creature with the Fear attribute (which means expossing that unit to the tramplers). A morale of 8 means their is a roughly 50/50 chance of a rout depending on the current survivor bonus. Considering how not all nations have easy access to death magic, this isn't much of a solution. In the "qm said" thread, I propose a new game meachanic which pits the tramplers morale against the total weapon length in the desired square.
