Warcry (B Button) scares away surrounding enemies whose level are twice lower than yours for a short period. This ability is very good for getting out of a tough spot as an infantryman (and followed by Sprint), or scattering an infantry line as you charge them on foot or horse.
Battlecry (U Button), rally your wounded troops to fight and recover 3x Leadership+Charisma percent of their hitpoints

I believe you get them from a quest but I don't know where...

Thx for the help, i will look it up on wiki

I tried looking it up but i couldn't find anything :(

War elephants are used only by high rank soldiers
For yourself and your heroes, you can buy it at the same place you buy horses.

I have been unable to find them but I will continue my search
Thx for responding.

Go to the reports menu and there should be a "view factions trees" under there, almost every faction has elephant troops lol

Was there any gear removed from the mod with the update? I recall having used a multi-shot pistol prior to this update, but after the update have never come across any again.

Additionally, was the ability to purchase land completely removed and if so why? I see that you can still view reports which show plots of land that you own... oddly I show as having assets at some or owning acreage in places despite no longer having the option to visit the land brokers in town menus anymore.

Question for anyone whom holds the answer; where is the elephants hit box? I can hit the rider easy but my arrows go straight through the elephant.

So far as I've seen its approximately in the middle at the point where the two front legs connect.

At least, that is the only point so far that I've managed to actually injure the elephant with my spear. Anything behind the front legs, including the entire massive body, seems to just be for show and not actually solid.

Honestly though, I wouldn't waste the arrows trying to down an elephant unless you've got Robin Hood Men in Tights "Patriot Arrow" because I can't personally can't recall having ever killed an elephant. Even with the extra polearm damage when attacking a horse and countless stabs with a massive speed bonus... I've yet to drop one.

thanks for the reply, i have only seen one dead elephant and i have yet to actually kill one. Ill stop wasting my arrows on the elephants now. And the water buffolos are hilarious, everytime i see one i just lol, they look so dopey.

Yeah the water buffalo are pretty funny actually. They are slow and pretty ineffective but they are healthier than horses so that is a plus.

You're lucky if you've only seen one elephant... give it a couple more battles and you'll see plenty of elephants. Most factions have elephant rides as high end troops so in large battles its common to see loads of elephants on both sides of a fight.

I actually took the time to try to kill an elephant at one point, but it just took so long that the battle was already over and the rider long dead. Its simply not practical to try to kill one in combat like you can with a horse. I spear horses out from under their rides all the time.

I've never actually ridden an elephant myself yet so I can't say how they are to use them, but a word of warning... due to them being nearly impossible to target the hitbox if you dismount from one in battle you'll likely never manage to mount back up again. I've tried numerous times to mount the elephants of dead opponents but never pulled it off since it seems that the target point is too high up.

Hmm, i can see myself riding an elephant and considering its hitbox, would be like a non-cheat god mode.

I am having a problem when i start the gmae the text is not there even when i do hit something nothings there plz help me
