So, let me make it clear: you think that Elves are overpowered because you have read some baseless argument on some fansite?
Let's investigate this matter... I'll post here a comparisson of elite infantry for orcs and elves.

===============================================|
As I'm sure you can see now, elves aren't all that tough.
I may add stats for human elite infantry too, but I assure you it's not helpless as well.
(Err... I'm not breaking NDA, am I?
It's an "open" beta, we can speak about the game openly right?)
