High Elves
Roleplay Info
Deep between piles of magic scrolls, engrossed in the studying of the arcane arts of magic is where you will find the high elves. This race of elves is the most brilliant of them all, relying much on the fact that they are mentally superior to any other race. However, their fondness of magic and the honing of the mind makes them regard many of the more menial tasks like exploration, building and farming as less important. Regardless of their own decadence, the high elves will rally to defend the kingdom in times of war with great skill and determination.
Strengths
Highest intelligence, decent Clerics and Archers, excellent Mages, and high Mana production. All races except High Elves lose half of the Spell power in Scroll creation.
Weaknesses
High Mutiny, poor building, slightly below average food production, poor Fighters, Rangers, Assassins and Thieves. Poor at all covert operations.
Special Abilities
Mana Focus - In a massively combined effort, the high elves enter a trance like state in which the entire population uses their skill in magic to generate extra mana. Magic skill and population determine the amount of mana gained with each Mana Focus.
Enchant - Allows you to enchant a dwarven-crafted Artifact with a Spell, thus creating a full Artifact. The more mana used in the enchant, the more powerful the artifact will become. The mana requirements are quite high so save this until later in the game.
