Something needed to be done, that's for sure. Elephants were very powerful and dirt-cheap to build (in terms of what advances you need to get that far). I don't know if ACP alone will really fix the problem. It might also be necessarily to play with the hit-chance (for example, the help hints that elephants are particularly good against cavalry. Well, maybe they aren't so hot against other kinds of units).
