Wait wait we should use gaseprhetes and war elephants wisly I cal this see the good and bad things of a unit first war elephant=slow but strong that means that if you want destroying with elephants but the enemy has a huge army that counters your war elephants and he sees! that you coming you have to make a huge army of counter units to kill theres army before your war elphants can reach and destroy some buildings, conclusion: you have to kill the other army before you can reach some buildings with you war elephants.

Yes, how's that news to anyone?
You don't really have to, but chances are most of your Phants will die due to bad pathing before they reach the building.
Wait... I still don't get the point of this thread :P

I didn't even understand the first post, thus being why I never responded.. why did everyone else respond I wonder?

I think the topic starter is saying that Gastraphetes are better than Elephants against buildings because in the time it takes the Elephants to get to the buildings the enemy has seen your huge army and can counter it.
It does not make sense in the slightest above 1600, but there we go.
Take my love, take my land, take me where I cannot stand. I don't care, I'm still free, you can't take the sky from me. Take me out to the black, tell them I ain't comin' back. Burn the land and boil the sea, you can't take the sky from me. There's no place I can be, since I found Serenity. But you can't take the sky from me...

I agree, this thread makes no sense. Use chariot archers against gastras if that's what you're asking.
