Oh no look out its a ray gun.
You should move to avoid the rays
the rays are coming out of the gun
if you are hit by the rays
you will be shot by the rays
the rays are fast so you should be fast to
can you win against the fast rays from the gun?

They need to use healers and leadership to full advantage there. And flee if it's the enemy's favoured time of day/night. The fighters have a harder time dealing killing damage than other races, but you can recruit a mage to help with that. I don't think they always lose, in groups they complement one another much better than some factions.

not always but still they lose often especially when horsemen charge a group of fighters in the day.

I love the elves (partially because I have improved them alot at home, (elvish trackerw/ upgrades, lancer, herbalist, and High Commander--ask if interested in any), but they do tend to lose to loyalists unless very well played--(a strong cavalry unit does help though)

If I was to really play against non-AI, i would use loyalists though.

it's like having a militia of people who aren' trained soldiers (the elves) against a conventional army with all the advantages that come with them. ( I view the loyalist6s like that becuase they are one of the few conventional armys in the game) its possible for the militia to win but only with luck a better commander and the right terrain.

there's only thre convemtional armys in the game or groups that are even close. The loyalists, elves and orcs. (makes for some truly fun and balanced multi) and the loyalits seem to be stronger than them both.

you mean how those fighters go up to your level three units and whittle away health from the forest while you cant hit them after attacking them like 999999999999999999999 times?
I remember when I had that happen.
good times for the elves though!

Elves' melee attacks are weaker than others. Except when they can recruit woses, which is a nonsense against drakes.

I mean woses are very very weak against drakes, because they have very very few defense against fire breath. :D

I voted for elves just because I think they are cool But realisticially, I think that all the races are pretty much ballanced. What the main factor in any game is not the race itself but the player. For every advantage there is always a counter, and a counter to the counter, and so on. That's why Battle for Wesnoth is such a great game!

Humans' mounted units can't go into the mountains.
