I completely agree, even Tarkans have some use as quick raiding units if you don't want to use infantry. But  I seriously can't imagine a way in which elephant archers may come in handy instead of other units. They are like a bastard unit of a mix between the cavalry archer and war elephant without having any of the good traits of both.

Expensive, slow movement (they can be easily countered by celt halberdiers), mediocre attack speed, low attack damage, poor range, no bonuses against anything (Do they even have trample damage?) What the hell were the Forgotten developers thinking?
