High elves range units does well against opponents without much armor. But against heavy armor or tough foes it's usually up to their infantry and mage to carry the day. Their cavaliers had seen the up and downs but never was the center focus of any army unless companied with monsters.

I just finished a High Elf campaign in TWW3, I selected Imrik and decided to return to Ulthuan to take control of the war effort. Very fun campaign on VH, coasts constantly harrased while trying to subjugate the other Elven pronvinces. Then the challenges of launching long distance invasions into unfavorable terrain, establishing puppet kingdoms and forcing chaos back into the wasts. Good stuff, especially from dragon-back.

I really love the High Elves. I collected them on TT. I also love bows and stuff. But, they are literally the race most in need of a rework in TWW. They are strong in campaign, not denying that. But - they literally have NO mechanics. Name me a race, even Norsca, without a Race mechanic. I'm hoping that since Karl and the Empire got an update, CA will see that "beginner" factions like the High Elves can still have mechanics that make them playable and still noob friendly. Now, Imrick is fun and so is Eltharion - but I really want people to look at the RACE. Tyrion and Teclis have nothing, Allariel has nothing of note.

3:20 Slight correction here. Eataine is the name of the Kingdom, but Lothern is the name of the city. In fact, Lothern isn't just the largest city in Eataine, but the largest city in all of Ulthuan (at least in the current era.)

@Stormgamer-xb7gv 23 күн бұрын

If the High Elves had actually worked together more with the Empire, i dont see a way how arachon could invaded and defeat them in the End Times. Imagine an Army, With Dwarven Infantry (Which already cooperated with the Empire), Elven Archers and Elven Chariots supported by Empire Demigryph Knights and Hellstorm Rocket Batteries with Elven and Human Wizards as well as Dwarven Runesmiths supporting the Troops. Whilste 2 High Elven Dragons fly around the Army, burning all in their way. This army could litterally not be stopped. No matter how many creatures Archaon can send against them.

@Troupe_Master 23 күн бұрын

They do work with the Empire often it's just those Asur that Volunteer their aid they can't afford to send huge armies because they are constantly Attacked by Chaos warbands, Norscans and Druchii

Aos MUST happen. Gw dictates it must be so, so it will happen even if all factions ally against archaon.

@jamesd5842 23 күн бұрын

While you’re correct in theory, keep in mind that Chaos ascendant ALWAYS coincides with a major Druchii incursion of Ulthuan preventing the Asur from being involved with any other world events until the climax, and then only a token. In End Times they were riven by Khaine ascendant and the massive civil war/embodiments of Khaine and Asuryan fighting for supremacy

Fun fact, the Elves in my campaign basically made some bad alliances and got dragged into Fantasy WW3 against me (Elspeth) and pretty much every dwarf and Kislev faction. I was playing nice with the FILTHY Frog-men of the south (Bretonnia) and all was good for a while. They had made a strong central/southern alliance with the High Elves, the Cult of Sigmar and the dollar-store Bretonnians, the Chevaliers de Lyonesse. Unfortunately, somewhere along the line I must have done SOMETHING to piss off the Chevies because my approval with them plummeted, they broke off our non-aggression pact and soon declared war. IMMEDIATELY Bretonnia goes to bat for them but luckily for me, artillery and gunpowder beats peasants and horses any day of the week. This starts a chain reaction with all of the High Elves and CoS following suit and declaring war on me. I launched a full-scale invasion of the south, quickly conquering all of Bretonnia just in time to meet the Elvish ships landing on my freshly taken settlements on the coast. I retaliated and pushed them back to their little donut and began my campaign to beat these fairy-godmother-looking idiots into submission. Credit where it's due, even though it was a one-sided slaughter, the elves WOULD. NOT. SUBMIT. They never once tried to sue for peace. Even after 1/3 of their alliance was consumed by my Empire, even after every bite I took of their donut, they could not be bought or reasoned with. Seriously misguided sense of loyalty. The bastards who started the war never once tried to relieve them and have burrowed themselves as far south as they can get. The only real resistance I'm getting is from the CoS who have started pushing towards my occupying forces in greater and greater numbers while I try to get reinforcements back from the giant toilet seat in the ocean that's running slick with elf-blood.
