Mod: Blood Elves

[Talleyrand]

I like these units. I think I found a bug though. The Vermillion Commander likes to charge right into the frey even when you set his orders to stay behind his troops. It's gotten to be where I have to place him on the far left side of the formation grid and pray most of the opposition is dead or dying before he runs in and gets himself killed.

Some more thoughts:

The Alfar Archers seem way too good for their cost. I'm still new to this game but I've never seen archers as accurate as these guys are. Not even close. Every single one of their arrows hits something. I usually play Early Age though so maybe archers are just better Late Age? I would still either give them weaker weapons or increase their cost.

And while I like the lore for the Grotesques and think their unit graphic is cool as all hell, I just don't see the point in buying them. Their attack skill is way low and their protection is too, so you almost never hit anything and are always getting hit by something. Maybe add trample?

I love all the different commanders though and some of the units are really cool, especially Prince of Many Faces. The lore is top-knotch as well. Thanks for putting this little beauty together. It inspires me to try and create a faction of my own.

Forts are in.

Thanks for the praise.

They are elven archers after all. The bow is only good against lightly armored opponents. Should be useless against heavy armor. I'll play a few games and see if they are unbalanced (I havent been able to play a single game since I got Dom 3 because of the mods ).

Grotesques are intended for use against blood heavy nations that use a lot of demonic summons. Made Grotesques armor=19 (as intended but somehow I forgot about it. Tnx Talleyrand).

Command him to Hold,Hold...Hold(or Cast Hold) then Fire Closest. I had no problem with him even with Heroic Quickness with 60 AP.

Made bows:

-less dmg
-less accurate
-non magic (that one was a mistake before)

If you intent grotesques to be used vrs blood nations then they really need a boost since the blood summons people actually use (devils, fiends of darkness ect) have very nice defence.

[Amos]

Grotesque fixed.

Also, blood elf forts (if they are used by a human at least) would be impossible to capture (oh look, i get a 1000 castle defence bonus from a 140 gold unit)

[Amos]

I removed the defense bonus(its broken). You must be using an older version.
