I think this is an oversight.  Elephants (also Crusaders) were
once left out (long ago, pre-rulesets) apparently because they 
were considered to unbalance the game, but I see no reason not 
to turn them on in the civ2 ruleset.  Fanatics too, but 
Fundamentalism is not implemented properly in Freeciv.  I guess 
we could turn them on too anyway, and they just won't be as 
useful.  (Have to also turn on Fundamentalism in techs.ruleset
for civ2.)
