Master of Magic/Dark Elf

Dark Elves usually reside on the Myrror Plane or existence and are highly in tune with the magical powers that flow through these lands. Even the least of them are proficient in some magical arts. They tend to be arrogant and vicious, using their talents to assert dominance over other "less civilized" races.

Tactical Overview

Dark Elves are slow builders, but with potential to be incredibly strong. They can build nearly every building, their units are both strong and flexible, and they produce far more magical power than any other race. Their Warlocks are especially dangerous, as the Doom Bolt spell bypasses all defenses and inflicts damage directly.

Even their weakest normal units have a ranged magical attack, affording them some safety in the early stages where the Dark Elves are at their most vulnerable. The Dark Elves are one of the powerhouse races of Master of Magic, ready-made for world domination.
