AuthorQuestions about Elves?
Hi, I am kinda new, so I wanted to ask a couple of questions about the race I am playing.
I noticed several times when applying to a duel, most people just decide not to fight me. Even in the descriptions many people say "no elves"... Why is that?
Do our enemies get less experience when defeating us?

Also, wanted to ask the difference between level 3 and 4, I noticed I only got 3-4 more soldiers. Got the 1 point to add to attributes and thats it... Am I doing something wrong, or is the difference this small?

I would also like to ask about magic of my main character, when in battle I noticed people using magic punch, or earth spikes or similar spells... Ok I think punch is only for wizards, but how do I do the spikes? I added 1 to magic, and I have 1 knowledge, mana is 10/10 in battle... so, anyone can help me with this?

Thank you in advance :)
#1 Some players don't like duelling elves. No they don't get less experience when defeating an elf I believe.

#2 The difference from level 3 and 4 are that small really you aren't doing anything wrong :)

#3 You will be able to use spells when you build Magic Guild 1 (level 5).
If you want to know more about spells have a look here:

Also there is an interesting topic for elves in GGF:
https://www.lordswm.com/forum_messages.php?tid=1894954
There you can ask about tatics and etc.

I hope I got your questions right excuse me if I didn't :D
I noticed only no Elves description, no other races... Could it be that we are the only ones not liked? :(

Oh, another thing I wanted to ask... the favoured enemy thing...
I put Golems to be my favorites to kill, but I just fought Skeletons and I did extreme hits to them and got the message favourded enemy damage ? Could someone explain that?

Oh thats level 5, BUT, I have seen people do magic punches and earth spikes as level 3s... But I must say I didnt see Elves use that...

Also this:
"The most common way to learn spells is to build Magic guilds in castles.
Besides, every faction has at least one creature capable of casting certain spells. The efficiency of those spells, however, obeys other formulas than the characters' spells do. Creatures' magic is listed in "Special abilities" section.

In order to cast a spell, click the "Spell/Ability" button."

I see the picture of that book, I have it in inventory equiped on my character, but when I battle I do not have option to click on the book, just wait and defend? :\

Cast a spell or Use special ability
Favoured enemy is an unique ability of elves.

This is taken from the about the game section of unique racial abilities:
(https://www.lordswm.com/help.php?section=38)
# Favoured enemy
Thanks to this ability, elves gain a chance to inflict critical (double) damage in combat to a stack of creatures of certain types. Favoured enemies are chosen in the castle, in the "Avengers' guild" building.

# Favoured enemies can be changed anytime in the castle, their number is limited to 6, one from every faction except elves.
# Elvish troops cannot be chosen as favoured enemies.
# All monsters at hunt are regarded as favoured enemies, regardless of who is chosen as one, except elvish faction creatures.
# Chance of dealing critical damage: 5%+4%*[Elf skill level].


About magic punch and earthen spikes, only wizzard and dark elves can cast them in those levels :)

This means some creatures can cast spells like druids etc.
You can have a look at which creatures can and which spells each one can use here: https://www.lordswm.com/help.php?section=32

Your hero can cast spells as well, if you have Magic Guild built in your castle, the book will appear once you build it. Also you will need mana to cast the spells.
I noticed only no Elves description, no other races...

I've frequently seen "no wizzards" fights during my youth :) I would bet that there are commonly some "no deak elves" too around here, but that's quite true that in early levels, a lot of players of your level must be affraid of your bowmen :)

About favoured ennemy, it probably happened during a hunt; in this case, the creatures are always considered as "favoured ennemy". Also, I've never played elf, but I believe that you can favoured not only golems, but up to 1 creature per faction.

About spells, some factions can always cast a spell since lvl 1. Dark elves can cast earthen spikes, wizzards, magic punch, and necromancers, raise dead.
You can not click on the book because you still have not build any magic guild, available only from level 5.

When doing a hunt your favored enemy is atomatically set to what you are hunting. So no matter what you are hunting it will always be your favored enemy.

Oh thats level 5, BUT, I have seen people do magic punches and earth spikes as level 3s... But I must say I didnt see Elves use that...

Other faction start out with the ability to use spells, such as raise dead with necros, magic punch with wizards, and earth spikes with dark elves.

Cast a spell or Use special ability


When a creature has the ability to cast a spell it will have a spell book when it is its turn. When you get druids they can cast spells for you.[
let me do a summary for you.

elves cannot cast spell until level 5. Built a magic guild and have at least 1 mana for spell.(elf only study nature and holy magic so earth spike in unavailable for elf till you get Anchorites(an upgrade of druid) as your creature.

creature in hunt is automatically set as favored enemy except elf unit so you wont have to go to castle to switch again. They are all together 6 favored enemy you can set,one from each faction exclude elf.

In between level 3 and level 4, there is no major change to the army. Is like a gap until you reach level 5 and get sprites and druids.

One more thing, do post question regarding of elf in this link:
