advice Caelum vs Marverni

[Meglobob]

Yes, I have been practicing with elephants and they are very deadly against any neighbour without a awake SC pretender and small, size 3 or less troops in the first 20 turns or so.

However, a couple of slim ways to try and combat them,

1) Amass as many archers/crossbows and even slingers as possible. In combat put them all on fire monsters, which means they will exclusivly target the Elephants.

2) Amass all your troops on the left or right of the battlefield. You have a 50/50 chance of being a bit further away from those Elephants. Elephants seem a little slow when trying to turn around. This gives your archers time to inflict the damage.

3) Put PD upto 30, well the elephants trample your PD, your archers inflict damge. If you win, your PD will be restored.

Using the above tactics I have been able to win vs elephants and have even took no losses, the PD as taken them. Remember each elephant costs 100gp+ so elephant users after put a considerable portion of there economy into them. So every one dead hurts your enemy badly...
