The
Armored Elephant is an upgrade of the War Elephant. The Armored Elephant has Siegecraft,
more attack strength, armor, and piercing armor.
Leather Armor, Scale
Armor, and Chain Mail increases armor.
Armies using
elephants in battle learned quickly that wounded animals could be as dangerous to friendly
troops as they were to the enemy. One solution to this problem was to cover elephants
partially with light armor that helped protect them from arrows and spears. |
