My understanding would be: français : Est-ce que la haine affecte les montures, comme les sang-froids (lorsqu'elles ne sont pas montées par des personnages) ? English: Does hatred affect the mounts, like cold ones (when they are not mounted by a character)? and the answer is... YES!! SilverHeimdall ...

Have a look to the frequency of wars. How often did a recorded war killed 10% of the elven population? Once a century? Compare to medieval Europe and ask the same question. There you see that elven and human demography is not comparable. You realize that Elven life is so long that they have a time s...

The minimum size for any elite is 5. Playing MSE, I would think of a unit of 7 in order to maximize the number of hits. More than that, you're talking of models just used to replace the first row or to make up for kills by shooting. Considering that WE and exec are cheap, why not? but then it is les...
