War elephants are considered to be somewhat overpowered in the Civ 4 community, I believe. They're usually banned in the Realms Beyond multi-player games I've seen.
I believe it is because they are STR 8 (+50% vs. Mounted) units that come with Construction, and there's just no good counter for them (aside from other war elephants) until Pikemen, STR 6 Units (+100% vs. Mounted, so effective STR 12 vs. Elephants), which require a much later technology (Engineering). Throw in the fact that they require a fairly rare luxury resource (Ivory), and it stands to reason the person who lays claim to that resource and gets out the elephants will have a significant advantage over anyone who doesn't have Ivory.
That's another reason I targeted Cyrus first. He had Ivory, and frankly I'm lucky he didn't build any War Elephants. Now his Ivory is mine.
