Overview
Edit
Siege elephant are trained in the Fortress Age at the Castle. It has a siege cannon mounted on to an elephant's back, making it effective against buildings and Artillery. It is by far the most durable artillery unit of the game with the HP of a war elephant.
They have the advantage in mobility compared to many other artillery units as they don't need to stop and set up before following. This allows for quick and destructive attacks against enemy structures. They can also flee losing battles as they are faster than normal cannons. However, despite its brutal strength, the Siege Elephant quickly falls to Hand Cavalry units.
They are counted as light cavalry, making Axe Riders less effective against them, but makes skirmishers and archers much more effective against it, making them a large threat for Siege Elephants.
