Description
The Mauryan civ has an Elephant Archer unit and a War Elephant (melee) unit. The War Elephant appears to be the same, in terms of gameplay mechanics, as in some other civs: Carthaginian, Seleucid, Ptolemies.
Although Worker Elephants can be garrisoned in the Civil Center or Elephant Stables, combat elephants (archer or melee) can't be.
- This seems quite unrealistic. Should horses be unable to be garrisoned in a horse stable?
- It makes combat elephants (especially the archers) almost useless because, if they can't be garrisoned, then they can't be healed that way. Since the elephants are slow-moving, they rapidly take damage in combat, so they can only be used in about 2 battles before dying.
I tried to use a healer once to heal the combat elephants, but I don't know if that is supported, since the elephants' health didn't seem to be increasing.
Because of the same fact that the elephants are slow-moving, they wouldn't be OP = overpowering if allowed to heal. They could still be killed in a large battle, and they will take a long time to walk to the garrisoning building & back.
The request is, "Allow combat elephants to be garrisoned in CC & Elephant Stables."

As of r18286, elephants can be garrisoned in elephant stables. Other buildings are still controversial and likely won't be added.
Confirmed - war elephants and elephant archers can't garrisson neither in elephant stables nor fortress.
