    Default Is it wrong when playing an elvish faction, to kill fellow elves?

    I felt kinda guilty playing a silvan campaign right now. It was just that they kept on trying to bribe my generals and well.. it extremely annoyed me.. Will i be cursed to walk ME forever with seeing teh light of valinor?

    Nope. I find it to be more fun killing the would-be allies sometimes. Bit more of a challenge compared to an orc wouldn't you agree?

    My campaigns oftens ends up in a total war Me killing everything Though i have a max that i don't often go beyond they old borders. That means that Gondor can expand into Rohan, Enedwaith and into/beyond Mirkwood With Arnor it's a massive war ;D
    Arnor vs. Gondor is some massive shiny battles

    You may consider yourself to be a genocidal maniac Avenging Angel...but take a look at Surrealbeliefs High Elves campaign and you'll realised just how crazy one man can be.

    Do i?

    Exactly formann. It was a hard choice. I didnt wanna do it i swear... (hides many elf heads in the fridge)..
    but things really came to a head when fighting near dol guldur before i took it, i was heavily outnumbered and a lorien army nearby though "hell no" and left me to fight on my own. I won but i almost lost legolas.. Whats an elf lord to do?

    As an ally im great. i help out when ever i can but there are limit... In my defence, lothlorien broke its word first...

    It is such a quiet thing, to fall. But far more terrible is to admit it.

    I think the Silvan Elven archers do more damage on their early archers, but the High Elven best archers have more armor than the Silvan Heavy Archers.

    They're almost totally even, the Silvan early archers are a bit stronger but also a bit more expensive whereas the Eldar archers have a higher defense than the Silvan heavy archers but are also a bit more expensive.
    The Sindar archers (SE bodyguard) are the best but they come in smaller numbers.

    Default Re: Is it wrong when playing an elvish faction, to kill fellow elves?

    Yes it is wrong, almost like cannibalism. I always allies with elves as elf or rohan, I keep it as book was kill the bad guys. just imagine being allied with mordor, weird.
