 Greetings fellow overlords.
 I am somewhat skeptical that this hasn't been suggested before, especially with a community like this one, but apparently it hasn't so I'll do it myself.
 Elephants can be trained for war, but can't be mounted by backfiring projectile launchers, serrated battering rams, dwarves armed with sticks swinging from half cut up ropes, and covered in stupid looking war paint. Why? that would be awesome! It would be a valuable export, squad carrying deathbeast, high velocity fourlegged animal with flaming weaponized tusks!

coding complexity.

First we needs to have dwarves riding horses. Mounts are somewhat more easy to implement now that we have movement/attack divide, but it's not anywhere close in toady's plans as I see. May be added as a one-off feature.

 The catapult/ballista thing could be made by adding parts of siege weapon code onto elephant RAWs, and battering ram with building destroyer tag, and then mounts modified to have multiple people on them and give them added protection. Not sure if this is possible, as I know nearly nothing about the way DF creatures are coded (other than what I used here)
