Adding these helps elves catch up from being the weakest race in water based maps.

Elves could use costal defenses as well. This one has more actual flavor to it. The mermaids should maintain the same speed (5). If not, at least keep it at a healthy 4. I wouldn't see mermen as the greatest engineers, so the mendingis alright for me.

The coral beacon has a lightning storm spell handy, and staggering hp. It's cost should be 6, with it's hp knocked down to 65.

Edited. I really like the flavor this adds, plus the ability to flesh out merfolk as their own species allied with elves, rather than just one unit.

With this, elves still won't be that great in offensive naval power, but it should help contain the navy of other races until land units and air support can step in.

Maybe add in archer mermen as well?

Why would they be trained for archery under water?

Merfolk are typically expected to use spears/tridents and nets. Sometimes clubs, and very rarely swords.

I think that coastal defenses should be added for every race.

Anyway I don't think elves are so weak in water based maps. They still have got the best ranged units and can really create an arrow barrage in most of the maps.

Here's something I modified to be coral. Looks alien though...

Probably need a better coral image, tower needs some work on though, it made from pearl like stone or something else what do you imagine.

Would this work for the beacon?

I think that's the best Tower you have made.

Thx, I thought so too looking at it a few times. It just looks so neat. Here's the less nest coral.

I'm guessing these images are fine, ask Alexander.

How do you do that?

You use this symbol, @Alexander82.

@Alexander82 is this good?

Yah it didn't show up when I tried to do it last that's why I asked.

Bumping this back up. Coral could use some work and I might modify that tower a bit.

Mermen engineer.

Updated images.

Updated.

I will probably have to update all these images as well.

I have a new coral reef being done (I still have to add texture and make it less "colorful" currently I don't like the colour scheme I have them.) As for tower I also have a remade version, But, I could try making a tree that could work for their coastal tower instead, e.g. Swamp tree that has a lull ability that slows enemy units down that enter its aura range, it could also be garrisond and is effected by the parapet upgrade. Or it could have some other ability.

Coral reef.

And 2 examples of trees except without team colour or occupied forms yet.

Those are quite the unique looking trees, also great coral reef.

Thx, but which tree would look better for this? I might be able to keep the thunderstorm ability if I make the tree magical looking.

Green looks better. White one looks like it was snowed.

Hi
i had to.

I like those but make the bottom part show some perspective
