Description
War Elephant Reskin

This mod replaces the normal unit graphic of the War Elephant.

Facts:

The last civilization in the Middle East to employ war elephants was Persia, who got their elephants from India [also African elephants sometimes from Africa]. The war elephant was a powerful complement to an army, especially against troops with no experience against them. They were very difficult to kill, but remained difficult to control also. If they could be directed into an enemy formation, the enemy troops almost always fell back in disarray.

I'm personally not fan of Jorgito's reskins, like, of all of them, but I'm even less of a fan of the vanilla Persian Elephant, so this is a must have for me, plus, the guy with the spear at the top really nails it

Actually, the african elephant of today had a vast habitat in ancient times, much like th erest of the non grasland reliant annimals that is only found in africa today. You had preditors like lions and herbivours suited to warmer climates such as hippopotomi that had a habitat streatching from Southern Africa all the way to the Middle east , Babilonia, Bagdad as well as Persia.

Its only due to over hunting and the desemation of the animal spieces during later periods (Due to human population groath) that spieces such as the African Elephant became extinct in the northen/ north eastern regions and confined to lesser civilized regions ie Africa. So in antient Persia as well as Medieval Persia African elephants were incroporated into their armies and were actually favoured above the Eastern elephants due to their larger,stronger build and agressive behaviour.

Food for thought
