I don't think so if both sides lose their casters. War Elephants took about 200 years to adapt to before the Romans invented the trumpet trick and they disappeared, before that they had become an increasingly important part of Diadochy armies.

Torm canonically terrify horses and are much faster, making them the best ground scouts by miles. Grolm can break infantry walls, and the Seanchen have war elephants.

Of course the Seanchen don't have gunpowder so they probably lose without casters to Mat, but who doesn't?
Elephants are also an order of magnitude larger than Torm or Grolm.
Torm are faster and more enduring than horses, so it gives them a small scouting advantage. But not one thats that big, because their coppery scales also makes them highly noticeable.

And Grolm can be taken down by either archers or a spear wall.


Does it bother you, AES, that you can't look at a good majority of your threads? Just curious.
The current topic isnt even that exciting. Its just a discussion of Seanchan military efficiency without their Damana. I think its mainly habbit that places everything in spoilers just to be safe.
