Elephants were mobile barracks units in halo wars. it has come to my attention that they weren’t added. Gremlins were EMP units I’m pretty sure and they weren’t added either in halo wars 2. It would be really cool if they were added into special units, possibly Sgt Forge.
gremlins werent added? i thought i remember seeing an anders unit that looked like a gremlin… i might have been imagining it though.
edit
so there are no gremlins in multiplayer, but i’m going to go back through the single player to see if there is a mission that you get to use gremlins. i swear i thought i saw them somewhere.
Yeah, elephant was one of the iconic units in HW1 and was left out. Really hope they bring it back. Maybe give it to Johnson since it fits well with his play style.
For those new to halo wars, elephant was a large barracks on wheels that could be deployed anywhere similar to a kodiak. It also had a mini-turret on it as a defense.
Would be fun to have lots of elephants and bunkers (Johnson) parked at key map locations and battling it out.
Also in HW1 the elephant itself was able to fend off those warthog spams so it could serve a similar role against chopper spams.

Nowhere in HW2. Anders has Protector Sentinels that can EMP, explode on death, and fly (because they are Sentinels) so they are kind of an upgrade.

i dont think they’re going to redo any of the already finished leaders. so if you want elephants they’ll have to do it on a future leader.

You may be thinking of Kodiaks for HW2. Gremlins were exclusive to HW1 though.
Gremlins were basically useless outside of the campaign. They would need buff to be introduced. Elephants were cool but were never that strategic for me. Then again I never played them much and there tactic could have been lost to me.
Even if they were added to HW2, why would Forge get two vehicles that were exclusive to Cutter and Anders in the first game?
