@Vhilhu

Holy Is not the same as good! You can do evil deeds believing that you do good deeds in name of God. You are still evil.

And by your philosophy, there shoould be a faction for gargoyles, vampires, minotaurs, lapracheuns, wolves... in fact, how can centaurs be in elven faction when they are not elves?

The fact is, that the H4 faction is not demonic or udead, but unholy! No matter if they are mixed. That is a FACTION, not race.

Necro is not different enough.Except for the dragons,its all human corpses.Even if you slay an elven or inferno army,you get human skeletons.*yawn*!

Actualy dead humans = undead. ;) So it's like saying that elves are more alike to adult humans then human children.

youre getting too deep here.

its concept that matters. story(in this case thinking of humans and undead as relatives) can be made up in absolutely any way later on and it isnt the story that i see when ordering someone around the battlefield, and btw is there anywhere said that half you skeletons were NOT elves? imo anything that has been dead and reanimated is undead. as h5, differently from aow, doesnt have Dark Elves as reanimated normal elves, i cant see why elves arent related to undead too.

undead have bones, decayed flesh and transparency.

both humans and elves have pinkish skin, always 2 legs & 2 arms(no spectral thingy where legs ought to be), no big fangs, being almost identical, different in only that elves have those funny pointed ears and for some reason all recent elves are blond or completely white-haired, but humans are very often blond too so thats not some important fact.

Defend it all you want,but the fact is that models of all undead are made to look like animated humans(except for the dragons).Yes,you can have half of undead skelies,or all of them.But thats not what the model looks like.Its a human skeleton,not an elven one.

how can you be so sure? imo an elven skeleton would look exactly the same as a human one, since ears are not included with them.

Elves differ from humans by more than just ears.They have completelly different bone structure and internal organ structure.And can you honestly say that the artist thought "Hey,lets make an elven skeleton"?

Simple logic.They are more slim then humans,yet have the same,if not greater(which is usually the case)mucsle mass.That means different bones and different muscles.Their natural disease immunity(besides the magical one they possess as well)implies different organ structure.Not to mention their different diet,which leads to different digestive tract as well.

First of all even among human races the skeletons can be told apart, even if only by the skull. Even if elven skeletons resemble human ones alot their skulls should be way different. SCIENTIFIC FACT.

I would very much like to know the source you base your claims on. As far as I can tell, just about all sources I know of (fantasy books, role playing games etc.) would agree with you on "they are slimmer than humans", but that's it. The others are your own innovation as far as I can tell.

Not to mention that even if your claims were true, I fail to see the logical link that leads from "more muscle mass in less space" to different bone structure (could be simply a better efficiency of the same structure), natural disease immunity to different organ structure (could mean something as simple as more aggressive lymphocytes), from diet to digestive tracts (do vegetarians have a different digestive tract than flesheaters?).

No,all say they just look slimmer on the outside.All the fantasy books that describe elves the way most of us knows them,describe them as supperior to humans in terms of strenght,speed,sight,etc.

Greater speed means lighter body.Lighter body,and higher strenght means stronger muscles and stronger bones.

Yup,they have.All herbivores have different structure than omnivores.And elves arent just vegetarians,they are herbivores(when you eat only plants for thousands of years,you evolve)

Except for, like "Master Hunter", That suggests something, doesn't it?

There's only one way you could know all of that. Are you dissecting elves in your secret lair? :devil:
