The four new mages for the high elves mean they will have the biggest magic variety in the game, and since the high elves already have one of the best magic in the game, they will be the best magic faction. Not to mention, we now have rangers which can now allow rush builds for the high elves. And the silverine guard are just a straight upgrade.

[@JordanR]

SirKnight I don’t think rangers are going to open up rush builds as they currently are. Those stats are terrible and they’re overly expensive for what they offer. Looks like a forgettable unit that won’t get taken tbh

[@Cornerboy73]

I think I prefer Imrik over Eltharion (btw, I know Eltharion has a huge helmet and all but does his head look too big for his body? His face is huge - the model looks like Dawn of War 1 models lol) I like the Hag and Swamp Fings. Grom? His model appears to be too big for a goblin, even a fat one. He just looks and sounds too much like an orc. Lions look cool but I thought they'd have more combat staying power rather than just be jacked up war hounds. Disappointed we got more phoenixes instead of skycutter chariots, what a missed opportunity. All in all, looks ok for $10 but I would have payed a lot more for a lot more.

Hi Zerkovich (and viewers) I am currently playing greenskins in Mortal Empires as Grimgor. I have reached turn 60 and found out there were a bunch of DLC units I didn't have. So now I have bought DLC and tons of new units are now available. However this makes me wonder what is a good army composition for late game as the greenskins? Currrently my army is based on: 1 unit of black orcs with Immortulz banner. A bunch of heroes with Confident/disciplined trait to boost leadership - including a goblin and orc shaman. The rest are black orc big bosses and goblin big boss. I have 1 doomdiver and 2 rock lobber catapults. I have 4 night goblin archers (1 is regiment of reknown) And Big'uns for the remaining slots. So I am thinking that by end game, I should have more black orcs in my army and that I should hire a Rogue Idol. What else? Should I remove the night goblin archers? What about the rock lobbers? Thanks to anyone who takes their time to try and respond.

Keen to know what the start positions are. It's a must buy for me. One thing I'm kinda sad about is the ersatz dragon mage which I think Cataph did better. It's missing decent armour. There's also a mod that which includes the talons of Tor Caleda and they have a high rate of fire and armour piercing missile damage which makes them a lot more powerful.

Well you have to look at it from a fantasy point of view. High elves are supposed to have near god like balance/poise and dexterity. For example the swordmasters of hoeth were said to be so dexterous and efficient in combat that it almost seemed as if they were performing a deadly dance, forming a wall of steel with a 6-11 ft blade as he attacks and defends simultaneously. With that being known, it's easy to imagine an elf using a spear in combat while simultaneously defending and attacking with a sword...which by the way it's also said that high elf weapons are made of light weight material, there's a name for that kind of steel but I don't remember what it was.
