[Maha Moggalana]

OMG ! TWmadman , this is like a dream come true . I love Elves .

[~Beren~]

I have to say, I'm loving the new unit cards.

Are they from the book? Is there a site where one can see these artworks?

[LittleDwarf]

It is a pity that nobody is planning to do this kind of mod for Dwarfs. I don't like elves much, but i wish you luck nonetheless.

[TWmadman]

the unit cards come from the warhammer High Elves Lore book

[Cochus1]

I have to questions:
-If i want to play other factions (i want to play a campaing with high elves, but too other with empire for examper) should I not install this mod??
- This mod is compatible with the dark elven enhalcement mod?

[Kahvipannu]

Really nice TWMadman + rep ofcourse, after I spread it a bit.

[TWmadman]

it is full compatible if you play other faction, the only change will be musics, in battle you ll get my music's mod, but they suit pretty well to all factions they are epic!
also it is compatible with any texture pack since only Beran worked on High Elves so no mod will overwrite the textures.
the only thing to take care of is export descr unit, i mean the file with unit stats. i made some change, if you install let's say, excellent Holy Pilgrim mod, my changes will be avoided. in that case, install my mod at the end of the others.

btw it is not compatible with my Dark Elves Enhanced Mod since i went to far in that mod with traits changes, since i m a beginner, some changes were...not very clean :p
but for this mod as i said, you can go ahead and play another faction.

but this mod is for High Elves, i would be sad you install it just for textures lol

[cedric37]

Nice stuff mate!

[derdavid]

Awesome!
but..


this is in the armybook the picture for the shadow warriors. Everyone who play's High Elves in the tabletop will see that, any chance for change it?

[(HG)Tevez]

One question; Is possible to make Imrik in her dragon?

[TWmadman]

Derdavid, the Lothern Sea Guard archers don't even exist in warhammer, you only got Archers and Sea Guards who are spearmen AND archers, since i had to find a pic for a unit which does not exist, and since the first picture for shadow warriors was pretty, i decided to take that picture in order to illustrate the "lothern seaguard archers".
that's all, i don't mean to be inaccurate, the only alternative was to simply delete the "lothern seaguard archers", but first i have to work on real Sea Guard to give them the ability to shoot with the bow they currently wear... then i could delete this unit if it is a popular demand. try to understand my choice looking at these facts

[derdavid]

I understand your point and of course i accept it.
Also if I don't am happy about it, because it is just the wrong unit-picture for me.
But you are right, there is no picture of the Sea Guard using their bows. So I don't have a solution for the problem.
thank you for your work!

[TWmadman]

btw i made a mistake, i added the Dark Elves interface in this mod, very soon i ll correct this and upload a new version. sorry guys

[TWmadman]

NEW UPDATE : look at the first post, just below the main link of the mod you ll see a PATCH LINK with a file called "interface corrected" just download and extract it in your data after you installed my mod. it will correct the actual interface which is the dark elves one, now you ll play with the correct High Elves interface.

sorry!

[Kahvipannu]

Well, lots of similar files, and two similar mods, so it's easy to get confused No sorrys needed

[(HG)Tevez]

The sorry is not necesary but thank for tell us

[TWmadman]

thx guys, i need your suggestion, what could be improved, what you liked or disliked.
i can work on scripted files, i m not a 2D/3D artist but if there is any new textures, interfaces or something like that, i ll update the mod.
if you got ideas about unit stats, traits, or any other script stuff i ll be glad to work on it!
i even don't got time to play especially since i began to mod lol

[toluas]

Thanks!

[Kahvipannu]

New HE-interface is somewhat ready, download in EFI-hread, if you wish to use it.
And BIG thanks for advice with ancs/traits, saved me a lot of time, since now no need of figuring it out myself
