Elephants Thread - Mercantilism Mod for Mount & Blade: Warband

Posted by WilltheGamer on the official Taleworlds forum.

War Elephants were probably the coolest and most terrifying thing on the battlefield in medieval times. That being said, adding them to mount and blade can only bring good things

Control wise, elephants could work like horses, with the added system that you can climb on the back of ones you aren't driving and fire bows/crossbows as if you were on the ground but still requiring mounted archery.

Here's my unit suggestions:
Unit Name: Elephant Rider
Unit Type: Cavalry
Health: 250
Capacity: 1
Weapons: Raiders Sword, Cavalry Shield
Rank Level: 3
Description: These elephant riders have light weapons and are heavily armored, they use their elephant to ram into enemy units dealing massive Trample damage.

Unit Name: War Elephant
Unit Type: Cavalry
Health: 300
Capacity: 2
Weapons: Long Bow, Arrows, Sword of War, Cavalry Shield
Rank Level: 4
Description: These armored versions of the elephant are larger and thus have had seats added to their backs to allow an archer to mount himself upon his back. This elephant will trample the front lines crushing morale and firing arrows at random.

Unit Name: Heavily Armored War Elephant
Unit Type: Cavalry
Health: 400
Capacity: 3
Weapons: War Bow, Large Bag of Arrows, Sword of War, Elite Cavalry Shield
Rank Level: 5
Description: These heavily armored monsters lumber about the battlefield firing arrows at anything they can see. Using the largest Elephants in the land, they cover them in the heaviest armor and rig them for battle. These elephants are so large they can be used as battering rams in sieges.
