SPECIAL RULES

ELEPHANT MOUNT CHARACTERS & Some leaders can ride to war on an Elephant. And usually they do if they can. While there is a distinction between African and Indian Elephants for Elephant MOUNTS units, there is none for Elephant mounts. Elephant mounts cause terror.

CHARIOT MOUNT Many leaders prefer to ride a chariot instead of having PHALANX to ride on horse back or (shocking) to walk. The Phalanx is a dense formation of pike equipped troops.
