Authordark elf@lvl 5
how should the troops used and the numbers of each troop? always having trouble against elves and necros.
You could try max Poisoner, Mino, and Lizard. Elven and necro ranged attacks killed rogues to fast.

DE at Lv 5 can rely spells, With the help of spell power arts, you could Spike out a single druid wall with 4 sp power + 150% dmg talent. Or go for 6~7 spell power, and your magic arrow can do 60~70 damage to opposing archers per shot.
if ye have trouble against elves, i used

10 poisoners, 6 lizzies and rest in minotaurs at lvl 5 (dunno anymore how many mino's that gives, 15 or so?).

this gives the most hitpoints to survive the 2 round ranged onslaught vs elves.

focus spells on bowmen, the druids are out of mana then, but if ye have nice spellpower, stone spike the whole range of druids and a bowmen stack, does nto do much first time, but starts to kill them off fast the second turn.

ah, and stoneskin means you just have to charge the whole way with the lizzies (negates defence, 20% per square and as such the effect of stoneskin which just gives more defence).

vs necoro,
divide some stacks of minos (evenly) so ye can leave some on vamp and ghost stack and do the charge again with the lizzies on the vamps, thou rogues can be very usefull against them.

off course ye magic arrow the ghosts till there are 5 left or so (no real threat anymore)
yea, get your spell power 4. i know your 1 earth spike kill 1 druid if you have enough spell power + artifacts.
what should be the parameters for lvl 5 dark elf?
i mean without any artifacts equipped.
you can try 2 knowledge or even 1. invest the rest to spell power :)

when equip artifacts, try to get spell power and knowledge too :)
1 knowledge is to few mana

go for 3 knowledge and rest spellpower
have you got the feeling that dark elf is weak starting from level 5 to foreseeable lvl 11, because of lack of decent range attackers? (count out bandit its range attack is next to nothing)

before lvl 3, dark elf is strong compared to other faction because of rogue;

in lvl 3 and lvl 4, dark elf is good at group battle when backed up by other team mates and when rogues do not become a first target of enemy range attackers.

But from lvl 5 and on, the importance of rogue is decreasing and some other factions get some serious range attackers (elf: druids, wizard: magi, necro: large amount of skeleton bowman, demon: not know about demon, knight: no decent range attacker either).

So I feel it's normal when you can't duel with other factions. I am now also wondering how to gain experience at during these levels...
lack of range attacks is not the problem,

it is lack of hitpoints that counts and a way to decrease the incoming ranged dmge.
^^ Can invest on knowledge or spell power due lack of range attackers.
My suggestion is don't exchange all rogues for hitpoints, as you can use them as dummy units or maybe prevent range units to use their bow.

Beside, no spoil of victory should sacrifrice poor rogues :)
5 lvl DE can win with Knight(hard), Barba, Wiz and Demon.
