↑ Armoured: Armoured units can block damage from any source apart from Armour-Piercing damage.

They are often heavier and attack at a slower rate though, making them less efficient against poorly-armoured targets.

↑ Armour-Piercing: The damage of armour-piercing weapons mostly ignores the armour of the target, making them the ideal choice against heavily-armoured enemies.

However, some units are simply better against large targets because their attacks are slow and easy to dodge by skilled melee combatants. This advantage can be a damage bonus against large targets or an attack that focuses on a very small area.

↑ Anti-Large: Anti-large units have an advantage against targets that are at least as large as a horse.

There is no shortage of brave and talented commanders among the Asur, and courtly intrigue seldom prevents such individuals from harnessing their skills. Fortunately these instances are rare - when the safety of Ulthuan is at stake, few Phoenix Kings have suffered such idiocy for long. Unfortunately, this sometimes means that armies are trusted to individuals based on political alignment, rather than on ability. Though they are loyal to the Phoenix King even unto death, all High Elves of noble blood love intrigue and politics. Any Elf Noble is just at home fighting with a sword in bloody melee as he is loosing deathly-accurate arrows from afar, or even dictating the strategy of a campaign from a greater distance still. The High Elves believe an existence lived without precision to be hollow, and scarcely preferable to death.

They pride themselves on a deep sense of honour, as well as the mastery of both diplomacy and war as art forms.

The noble families of Ulthuan have led the High Elves through times of peace and conflict for thousands of years. High Elf Nobles are the leaders of their own respective armies and companies, warriors whose skill at arms and years of experience far surpass those of any other mortal race.
