I mean it will be unused if put because the converters are already the high weaknesses of an elephant...Well maybe a black smith upgrade would be nice for archers.L4cus wrote: ↑Sun Jul 12, 2020 12:53 amidk exactly what u mean. these arrows were used to pierce elphants skins and armor. the shape of the arrows made them hard to draw hurting the animal.QuadrupoleStrat wrote: ↑Sat Jul 11, 2020 11:32 pmI think they will be unused because of the high conversion chance the converters have imo.
How about the spearhead? We could also make the spearhead of the spear thrower be exactly like the elephant slaying arrows..so it could be instead an elephant slayer instead of a cavalry slayer like you said..

Even the roman army had used some of these troops, but i am not sure if they were as effctive against cavalry, or if they were spear trowers.
there was a variant of the pikemen with those spike shields, and spike helmet too, used against elephants.
also, now that i am reading about this topic, elephants are afraid of fire and smoke. maybe an aura that nerfs elephants? units with torches should be able to get that. its just an idea, and i dont think is viable at all. maybe elephants unaffected by camel fear but affected but fire fear would be great.
this unit sohuld be an anti elephant instead of anti-mounted unit. anyway, thats my opinion
