#180:
Magic Elf can be good also in the group fight. You need to follow the strategy from the wizard though. Personaly, I prefer Might Elf. |
Elf mage are fun :) that's not efficient ( except maybe in hunt with sprites) but that's fun :)
agree 100% ;-)
however, without treefolk it's not as effective...
And even with tree, in group fight opponents will kill you before you make a single cast.
And we can't "go the wizard's way": while gargolies usually die last in the battle, all elven troops will die first, including even the tree. |
Here is a tip for elves who hesitate to use tactics.
Use it in hunts against melee neutrals (zombies,infected zombies,swordsmen) but mainly against zombies and it will take them two of their turns to even touch your druid defense. |
| Might+Magic elf is sometimes good too, raise is very nice because necros can raise and we can too. Moreover, the necro's advantage is the raise, since we have their advantage, we can knock out any necros easily, ofc with strategy |
When I mentioned "wizard strategy", I meant big defense as well. Usually, Magic has two characteristics: defense + spell power; while Might has mainly one: attack. Of course, a mixture of might and magic would be nice, but, unfortunately, the game is pretty restrictive for one to endulge such a combination. Whenever you try to make a compromise in between Might and Magic, you will find out that none of them help you too much and you become weeker than using only one of them. Magic for Elf means to give up what you are given from the beginning: initiative. That's because you should play defense rather than attack (again, this is a wizard strategy). That is not recommended because among other factions, the Elf is one of the weakest in defense. So, my opinion is to go for Might Elf and to minimized the Magic part to the basic needs: raise and phantom.
Anyway, Magic Elf can be fun for a while, but frustrating in the end. |
Another tip for elves traveling and who want to win ambushes
Recruitment for lvl 7
Sprite-31
FK-31
Elven Bowmen-8
Druid-12
This is what I use and the less bow more melee is useful because the bow are always open and the druids with high HP can cast stoneskin on FK and sprites and make sure sprite's initiative is around 15. |
#186
can u give me a tip for ambushing (lvl 7) |
for Anmol:
actually, a LOT depends on your own taste andthe type of particular caravan :-)
Both builds (1-max lick, 2-recruitment) are usable.
Of course it's ideal to have elite keepers...
w/o them troops can be like Santremus wrote above.
Personally I like archers, however... |
| Sorry Anmol I haven't started TG yet. |
| bump to keep the thread alive (2 days since the last post) |

for elf level 7 you may find some acceptable thievings here i hope
i didn't use full arts, only SoM and some steel stuff
i think with battle fury sprites just smash everything at lvl 7. Being the fastest creature (after lucky griffins maybe), spread attack and due to battle fury +60% damage (plus flying ability and very good movement speed by the way) |

This strategy is useful in Group Battles as well as Duels |
| + |
For Anmol:
He didn't use any mana nor he attacked. If it happened to me, I would be accused of staged combat. My point here is, no offence, but there is no strategy, only a necro which didn't want to fight. |
For Anmol:
1. He has faction skill 3...
2. Elves are just good vs. necro...
3. I can win anyone minimum arts vs. full arts if they just stand there and let me shoot at them... lol |
For Xerfer :
1. I was min. art he was full arts see the battle and statistics.
2. I don't think Elves are hat good to necros.
3. Faction Point doesn't matter too much for them |
3. Faction Point doesn't matter too much for them
lol |
| i just reached lvl 5 and i need someone to tell me about recruiting and how to spread my stacks.....pls help.... |
| I've passed level 7 one hour ago. Now i ask: What is the best troup for an elf at level 7. Considering that i have elite forest keeper. Thanks |
#198 and #199:
Please, try to state clearer your problems. There are several types of combats: hunts, mercenaries quests, ambush, pvp duels, pvp 2vs2 and 3vs3, everyone for oneself. Almost each of them requires different alteration of troops (not to mention that the hunts have more than one alteration).
For #199 only: Generally, EFK's bring a huge advantage at combat level 7. Still, it depends on combat type. |
