Dawn of Fantasy/Elven Units

The Elven army features many high dps battlions because the elves have a smaller then average amount of troops in a battlion. The elves have realized over the centuries that they only needed two formations and so almost all their units have access to the wind and stone formation. Stone formation greatly increases armor but decreases speed. Wind formation greatly increases attack,lowers armor and is generally used on fast quick strike type troops such as Rangers or Bladestorms.The statistics and prices quoted here are the base models and region/city traits chosen will change them accordlingly.
