Similar to Persian War Elephants, but on a lesser scale, the Battle Elephants are tough, durable and costly. They move slowly and are vulnerable to units that deal damage at range, but are also good as a meatshields for allied ranged units. As elephant units, they are also vulnerable to enemy Pikemen, Camels, Kamayuks. Mamelukes are particularly effective against them. They can be easily converted by enemy Monks, so they should be deployed with supporting units, preferably units with range.
