elephant generals and elephant BGs

Post by richnz »

Hi

Under a few DBM armies you could take generals as elephants, which were very effective combat troops, esp when added to other elephants available in the army. So, for example, the Sinhalese army could take 5 elephants in the main army, plus 2 elephant generals for 7 fighting elements in total.

In FoG, generals may be depicted as elephants but do not fight. In the case of Sinhalese, would there be an increase in the number of elephant BGs available in the list to maintain the same proportion of elephants for combat?
