Fantasy Friday - The Elven Army

[GPS51]

I find the elves are great at blowing defenders off hte first line of walls without any trouble. Then they tend to surge forward and get hte melee on..trouble with walls...no.

Anyone know if thought has been given to actually building in trees? Based on the game footage trees seem to be part of the building structure rather than buildings themselves.

I might be not the best judge (because English is not my native language), but I think "Bladestorm" really don't sound too well.

I don't have much of an issue with Bladestorm being a name other than it sounds like something a certain swordsman or axeman would use as an ability. As for the other names, Duelist would only work if the main idea behind it were only swords being used, or axes, as I said above. Slayer would have to have an actual purpose, and Fencer..well..thats more human tone than Elf.

On another note of pointy-ears (Elves), over all the lore in the history of Phantasy, they have always been excelent archers, able to peirce heavy mail and armor. When in close combat with an enemy, although they can hold their own in large groups, smaller groups won't be able to hold out for long, reguardless of bows or not. And of course their magic excells that of humans, at least most of the time.

what would interest me... are elven mounted rangers able to shoot while riding?

That would be amazing.

PS: I am a boring guy... I will take the humans anyway.

Does this mean, considering everything is quite likely already balenced for magic to be introduced, that elves will have a slight disadvantage at game start?

Doesnt matter much as the magic pack will be out soon enough - jus wondering is all, as if they have better magic, they must have somthing else lowered to compensate.

Loved the info mah Elves Cant wait till friday - tho i too agree that some of the names are quite perfect - yay to patches!
