It makes it even more difficult that Persians do not receive Faith or Heresy. Monks are effective at converting War Elephants, can convert from a safe distance that the slow elephant cannot reach, and even if a monk dies after a successful conversion, the value of the conversion is in favour of the monks player. War Elephants are countered hard by monks. They can deal with any cavalry unit and nearly all infantry. War Elephants can soak up many shots from archers or from siege and deal with them reasonably in a patrolled fight. For example, at an enemy base, where the opponent has no choice but to fight, War Elephants are devastating. War Elephants are strong against any unit really where there is a fight forced. They are an extremely durable and powerful unit, but expensive and slow. They are classified as a cavalry unit, despite their extremely slow speed, and are in the elephant sub-class. The War Elephant is the Unique Unit of the Persians.
