This is what has been said about War Elephants
Shoot the Moon Wrote:Oh, and I'd also support not having ivory on the map (and obviously making sure everyone has the other strategic resources, although I would suspect any map maker would do that anyway)
WarriorKnight Wrote:The other option that was suggested is keeping Ivory on the map, but banning War Elephants. I would probably be for that since it keeps that resource in the game, and the main problem is WE anyway.
Cjreynol Wrote:How about a poll on ivory? And then, I think, that will leave the rest done and ready to pick leaders/civs.
A) Ivory + WE allowed
B) No Ivory at all
C) Ivory but no WE
B for me
meatbalz Wrote:my only concern is we all have a level playing field. ivory tends to show up in "clumps" on unedited maps so as long as the map is edited so everyone has access, i don't mind it being included. i also don't mind it being excluded 
scooter Wrote:War Elephants are just unbalanced... There's nothing that really matches it in it's era. Promote an elephant with Shock and even spears have some degree of difficulty.
Shoot the Moon Wrote:Couldn't agree more. I'd strongly prefer not to have WE in the game (whether ivory is in with WE's banned isn't a huge deal to me...I'd say map maker's discretion).
Shoot the Moon: support Ivory not being on the map.
WarriorKnight: leave Ivory in game just ban WEs.
Cjreynol: No Ivory in game.
meatbalz: doesn't mind it being included so long as everyone has some, but is also ok with it being excluded.
Lurker scooter: thinks WEs are just unbalanced.
Shoot the Moon: completely agrees and doesn't really care if Ivory is left in game.
I'd say that I may be the only one who would want to leave WEs in the game, so they are out. The question of whether we have the resource Ivory for
and for the multiplier for the Temple of Zeus on the map or whether we take it out. I think the voices are split on this issue. Some voted for no Ivory at all, and some said they didn't care so long as WEs were banned. Personally I am in favor of keeping Ivory as it is not unbalanced at all as a happiness resource. WEs are unbalanced not Ivory. But whatever you guys decide.
