How to deal with elephants

[Aezeal]

how do you deal with mammoths around turn 10 with ermor MA.. not that easy I think.. I mostly have close combat troops...

any suggestions..

or will my S9W9 blessed vestals be able to deal with them

how much vestels would it take to take down about 10 mammoths?

Thaumaturgy : mindburn, paralyze, soulslay.

[Aezeal]

I do not have that turn 10 with ermor atm

[sum1lost]

Go for them. They're key spells to ermor, and accessible early. You should at least have mindburn by then.

Ma Ermor get slingers? Cant remember, those wont kill em but hopefully rout em from wounding em?

[AlgaeNymph]

About the spells, how do you make sure they're cast specifically at the elephants?

[sum1lost]

Single target spells have high hitpoint, big size units as their main priority target, I believe. And elephants have low magic resistance.

[Kristoffer O]

Yep, the elephants will almost always be targeted due to
1 hig hitpoints
2 low mr so tpells actually affect them
3 closeness to caster. Quite soon they will have trampled their way close enough to be a special threat

MA Ermor has ethereal high-defence recruitables. They're the last to worry about pesky elephants.

Yes, shadow vestals with quickness will slaughter elephants with few losses. You might want to put them into smaller groups of 10 with attack large monster orders. So they don't get distracted until all the elephants have gone to the great elephant graveyard.
