Description[ | ]
The culture of the hunt is strong in Athel Loren and finds its way onto the battlefield. One such example is the tradition of the Wood Elves not to launch themselves into battle until one of their highborn Captains has loosed a shot at the heart of the enemy leader. This duty is allocated before the battle begins, and the firer is granted the honorary title of ‘Talon of Kurnous’. Seldom does the Talon’s arrow kill the target, though Glade Captains are amongst the few to have the skill to even come close. Such is not the intent, rather it is a reminder of mortality for the foe, and a final entreaty to the Hunter for his blessings.
Attributes[ | ]
- Hybrid Weapon Specialist
- ▲ Forest Stalker: The Elves of Athel Loren gain bonuses to melee defence and accuracy while fighting within the forest.
- ▲ Armour-Piercing: The damage of armour-piercing weapons mostly ignores the armour of the target, making them the ideal choice against heavily-armoured enemies. They are often heavier and attack at a slower rate though, making them less efficient against poorly-armoured targets.
- ▲ Anti-Large: Anti-Large: Anti-large units have an advantage against targets that are at least as large as a horse. This advantage can be a damage bonus against large targets or an attack that focuses on a very small area. However, some units are simply better against large targets because their attacks are slow and easy to dodge by skilled melee combatants.
- ▲ Guided Projectile: The projectile fired by this unit can home in on its target. When fired in first-person mode, you can control the projectile yourself.
