Protector
Spearunit

Sentinel
Ranged
Elven Trueshot
Elves get their first bows in early childhood and practice their archery practically from the cradle. As a result, Sentinels are the Elvish first line of defense against any enemies.

When acting as a divisional commander, this unit imparts an additional +5% bonus to the Tortoise Formation skill.
Many times, Orcish intruders in Elf-held forests die without ever seeing their enemy. Elven Trueshots are the most accomplished bowmen in the World, often killing with perfectly placed headshots from hundreds of yards away - even in forests.

Swiftsteed

Marshal
Virtually nothing is faster than an Elven Swiftsteed unit. They'll appear behind enemy lines, kill your rearguard, and be gone before you know it.

Marshals with their gleaming Elven chainmail are drawn from the ranks of the Elven nobility and should not be trifled with on the battlefield.

Siege Hook

Siege Engine
Mangonel
Siege Hooks are heavy iron bolts flung from a tension-projectile Siege Engine over the top of the defender's walls. Attached to the hook are incredibly sturdy, cured ropes. Once the Hook has passed over the wall and is embedded in the forifications the attackers use horses to heave on the ropes, to collapse the walls from within. Mangonels use a massive, tension bow to propel heavy rocks from a bowl-shaped bucket at the end of the Siege Engine's arm. Its unpredictable (yet powerful) strikes are best suited to hitting broad, non-moving targets such as buildings.
