In the game's words
How to use it
The War Elephant is a Native elephant unit that has a very large number of hitpoints and great siege damage. Lacking a ranged attack, it is most effective as a melee unit, moving quickly around the battlefield and charging opponents to cause increased splash damage. The War Elephant can be trained at the Bhakti Temple. They can also be shipped from your Home City.
History
Often considered the natural predecessor of the modern-day tank, the elephant brought many unique elements to its role as a battlefield unit. Early successes had more to do with surprise and intimidation than battlefield effectiveness. Enemy horses or camels, whether frightened by the beast’s smell, or overwhelmed by its sheer size, proved powerless against the elephant. It trampled oncoming waves of infantry and knocked riders from their mounts, scattering ranks and causing general confusion. It had a similar effect on the human enemy, terrifying many men to the point of panic.
