	Generally, elves does not have a lot of hitpoints, so healing in villages to full health is quick. Use scouts to get to the distant villages. Fighters are good for holding them. Use woses more often on maps with limited number of villages, because they do not benefit from them and cannot defend them effectively.

 '''Mage:''' Very useful for finishing off dwarves on good terrain, also effective against gryphons and outlaws. However, beware of ulfs.
-'''Fighter:''' Good staple unit; you need a couple of these to hold the line and guard your shamans/mages. They are superior to poachers—they deal more damage and, importantly, can grab forest hexes faster—and they are also effective aganinst thunderers and fighters, provided that the latter are slowed. Still, without the backup of shamans and mages these guys will succumb to your opponent’s tougher units.

 '''Archer:''' Perhaps not as effective in this matchup. You’ll want to focus on tougher and cheaper fighters (which can hold those important hill hexes better). You’ll also be making use of slow a lot; there is less need for the archers’ ranged attacks. Still, 70% defence on forest and 6MP give them some important uses.
