Indian Elephants are a type of heavy cavalry unit available to the Indians in Rome: Total War: Alexander.
Description[]
Elephants are the terror of the ancient battlefield! Almost three meters tall, of massive build, tremendous strength and an annihilating rage when angered or afraid, anyone caught in their path could be forgiven for believing that the mountains have risen against them. The crew carry bows which they can fire to some advantage from their great height, but the elephant itself is a weapon able to trample and gore men easily, hurling them around like leaves in a tempest. Such power is a double-edged sword though, and these beasts can run amok grinding friend and foe alike to paste! In such cases, to save themselves and their comrades their driver may be forced to hammer a spike into the base of the elephant's skull to bring the beast crashing down.
