Of course this will never happen due to the obvious Northern European style of the game (a slight touch of Roman/Greek as well, but largely Nordic) and the fact that War Elephants were all in Southern/Central Asia. It would be pretty cool regardless, I think it might be a little OP, but it would get completely wrecked by Mortars (After elephant dies those archers are toast). This would probably make Healers a bit more relevant as I could see them being used in tandem with this beast.

Were you watching 'The Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King' while writing this?

I would love a lord of the rings war elephant to reap everything in site!!!! A titan, a war elephant, a hydra, and a electric humanoid being that is impervious to tesla damage and when is killed sends small sparks to nearby buildings dealing damage. Ooo and a scorpion! Ugh!! YES!!!

Hahaha lol, I was thinking Lord of the Rings as well

I believe your idea is very clever, and it is fairly similar to my idea (Centaur)[Btw, I know it has been mentioned many times before, but I thought of it before seeing everyone else's ideas], anyway, it sounds like a fairly good idea, but I have a few statements I would like to make about it. I think that it would be unfair for the archers to be able to get off the elephant once it dies, and continue fighting, because you can't do that with hog rider, also (why would you abandon poor mr Ely?!) I'm joking, also, what made you think of elephants? I would seriously like to know. Anyway, please reply. Thankyou. :)

Sounds like a ♥♥♥♥ty golem that only targets defenses.

Again someone who stole my idea, gets annoying ...
