Default Re: Elephants = Calvary or Monsters for Targeting?

AFAIK, both work, but the troops might choose other targets as well.

Monsters -> elephants, titans, perhaps some size 4 or 5 creatures (draconians, weaker titans, some fliers)

Target Cavalry -> elephants, knights, mounted archers, chariots

So against eles + titan combatant, target mounted. Against eles + chariots, use monsters to kill the elephants, or mounted to target both.

I recently give my archers fire cavalry orders vs Pangaea's white centaurs. I assumed white centaurs would be classed as cavalry but the archers completely refused to fire at the white centaurs. So I have to assume white centaurs are not classed as cavalry.

That's true. Centaurs don't have the #mounted tag, they are just fast creatures unable to use boots. This means that various armors' encumberance values affect them as infantry (knights would ignore the enc of armor but would have increased enc instead), have higher innate defense but don't have the mounted bonus (knights have +3 defense), etc.
