I think that medic elephants are funny too. I guess they can hold the scapels and bandages in their trunks... Or the doctors sitting on the elephant's back just lasso up the wounded and haul them up to their howdahs.

err, I don't know much about elephant use in history, but aren't there people riding those? Those are the guys doing medic stuff, not the elephants themselves. It seems silly to point that out, but oh well.
The idea of elephants doing medic stuff made me rofl.

I just think people riding elephants would make extremely poor scouts.
Amphibious Elephants are the best though, those crazy snorkelling fools!

They use their trunks as snorkels, duh!

Take a look at my flag and my sig. Everyone knows that elephant riders have little porta-potties that they take up there with them

An elephant would make a great mount for a scout in terms of visibility, which is what sentry reflects. As to the medic upgrade, no one seems to think the horses do the medical stuff, if another mounted unit is a medic, why do we think the elephants would do it in their case. In history, the howdah sits up front; behind him is a platform with people on it, a half dozen or so. So a dozen elephants are supported by 80+ people, who could be medics, if that is what you want.

They can do both from "on high". One reason that it is better to be an elephant rider than a footsoldier when marching in a column.Originally posted by Dis

In the spirit of the thread:
"General, our medic elephants have no problem applying pressure to the wounds, so far fewer soldiers are bleeding to death. However, the number of broken bones is way up."

I think the elephants should either not be able to go through forest tiles, or should destroy the forest as they do.

Elephants live in the forests. They should cause roads to be grown over and forests to appear, not destroy them.Originally posted by Veritass

Nope. If you can lay a road in a jungle without destroying a jungle, and if a road is much wider than an Elephant, then you are not going to destroy the jungle by passing a file of Elephants through it. However, you might make the argument that the road should be easier to build since the Elephants have at least created usable paths for the roads to follow. I would not count on that argument getting you very far, though.Originally posted by Veritass

It would be fun to have elephants be able to eat their way through jungles and forests, clearing them (without logging income in the case of forests) perhaps half as fast as a worker could. Would give them something to do during peacetime.

Maybe someone could mod in the ability to gift white elephants.

Since elephants have a long history of working in logging and transportation for humans it would be nice if the ivory resource gave a 10% increase to how fast your workers do things. Might be a bit unbalancing though.
