Hello youtube, BlueMatona here and welcome to this episode of Game Guides where we will
be taking a look at how to defeat elephants in Rome: Total War.
Elephants are the most powerful units in the game, and can change the outcome of a battle
if used properly.
They also have the ability to run amok and kill both friendly and enemy soldiers.
You can take advantage of this when fighting elephants by firing flaming projectiles at
them.
Archers, ballistas, and onagers are a very effective ways of making elephants run amok
and kill their own troops as you can see here in the video.
Using flaming arrows is key because normal arrows will not make the elephants break.
Another effective way to make elephants run is to charge a unit of incendiary pigs into
them.
These pigs will light on fire and cause the elephants to rampage through any troops near
them.
While these are ways to make elephants run, there are also ways to kill them.
personally I like to make them run amok because they can take out their own army, but if you
want to kill Elephants any ranged troops will do the trick, especially spear throwers like
velites and the roman infantry.
Hoplites are also Elephant killing machines as you can see in this video.
So that about does it.
Whatever you do never, ever run infantry or cavalry units straight into Elephants.
That’s really all their is to it.
Thank you for watching everyone.
