Wood Elves and Grand Elves are level 3 creatures of Rampart town. They are recruited from Homestead.

"Armed with bows, elves are the only Rampart units with a ranged attack. Grand elves take two shots per attack." ^{RoE manual}

Heroes with a specialty

• Ivor the Ranger has elves as a specialty, which increases the Attack and Defense skills of any Wood Elves or Grand Elves for each level attained after 3rd level, and gives them a speed bonus of 1.
• Gelu the Ranger can upgrade Elves and Wood Elves (also Archers and Marksmen) into Sharpshooters.

Tactics and info

These are one of the most indispensable units of the Rampart, along with the unicorns and dragons, because they are the only shooter of this faction and deal impressive amounts of damage, especially upgraded. However, it should be noted that they die very easily when attacked, and each ranged attack a turn caused by the Grand Elves uses up two shots, not one.

The AI really likes to target the Elves. When conquering a city it is advisable to leave the Elves behind to avoid losses to the towers.
