Elephant
One of Nature's oasis animals. Nothing trains it, so it has fighting stats and upkeep but no cost, training time or smithy upgrades.
What stands out
- Killing one pays 200 of each resource, 800 in all, straight into the hero's inventory - the richest bounty of any animal. It is paid even if every attacker dies.
- Its 440 defence against infantry is more than any troop a player trains - the most is 120, on the Egyptian Resheph Chariot.
- Its 520 defence against cavalry is more than any troop a player trains - the most is 165, on the Gaul Haeduan.
- Its 600 attack is the highest of any animal.
- A hero carrying a Cage captures it instead of fighting it, and it then defends the village for free, eating no crop.
