I don't use howdahs that much. You could have a very effective elephant corps with all the other elephant units (you can have 16 War Elephants at one time via the infinite home city card for only 2000 coin total, eight Mahout Lancer which are the strongest melee cavalry unit in the game, and as many siege elephants as you need).

Just have infantry behind or Zamburaks. For me, I only use howdahs in a few situations where I find them advantageous.
