High Elves version of bleakswords?

[Arkantos1695]

Compare to the dark elves amy roster, high elves have less units. They basically have to rely on spear infantry until white lions and even then white lions are expensive. Where are the high elves one handed sword units?

the general uses a one handed sword

They’ve never had any as far as lore is concerned and don’t need them either.

Btw, white lions are NOT a replacement for spearmen......

They added basic sword units in a later edition, but were not in the 8th

the DE bleak swords are garbage! i never use them, spears have better defense stats. damage is done by other units.
if you seek an upgrade to HE spear units, use lothern sea guard, best frontline infantry.

Every race is meant to play differently. Hence why not every race has an early game infantry unit that specializes in fighting other infantry.

High Elfs have better late game units then Dark Elfs. The races aren't one to one. You guys need shields against Dark Elves becuase alot of Dark Elfs have crossbows.

Thankfully, the total war games aren’t even based on that crap, it’s based on 8th edition. Age of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ has no relevance here, if it did we wouldn’t even have high elve / dark elves / wood elves.

Honestly, calling bleakswords "specialized in fighting infantry" is really generous to them. I mean, it's technically true, but... yeah, they pretty much suck at it.

You really think that? Executeners, Black Guard and The Knights upgrate of the Cold one Against Swordmaster of Hoeth, Phoenix Guard and Dragonprinces.. There is not that much difference. The Dragon is better then the Black Dragon. but the rest?

Well, phoenix guards are better than blackguards, while executionners are better than swordmasters. dragon princes vs cold one is a bit of a mixed bag. In a head-to-head fight, the cold ones are better, due to being anti-large while dragon princes are anti-infantry. However, dragon princes have better stats in the most important areas for shock cavalry: speed and charge, while cold ones have that frenzy rule that is a serious hindrance at being good at their job.

Yes I do. Honestly, I have not played much High Elfs so what I can tell is from the Dark Elf Campaign. Fighting High Elfs is tough and my infantry get chewed up. My cold ones go berserk and head in random directions. The only units which seem to be worth thier salt is the bow/sword units and the sorceresses. Fireball and Bladewind wreck havoc to High Elfs. Star Dragons kick ass though.
