Discussion about Sylvan (Wood Elves).

Yeah, and when is it a good time to play as Elves? :) In the early game, they'll get crushed by any rush. In the mid-game, they'll be overwhelmed by magic, only Wing will put up a fight. In the late game, the same Orcs or Knights, with training, and not just them, but with better upgrades and artifacts, due to their much faster start, will crush them without a chance. :) Harmony :) By the way, for the Warlock to start struggling and his magic of chaos to weaken, it needs to be a very late stage of the game, which will never happen in real games. Even in the fourth month of the game, his chaos is still very effective. Plus, Spell Research and the Warlock's collection become quite realistic, which is a very scary combination. If you take into account the mentor, BPD, and various cunning skills, it becomes somewhat uncomfortable even in such a timeframe... Added after 9 minutes

I wasn't talking about all races or all heroes. I'm just saying that when, for example, a hero can break through a stack with a hundred Hydras in the beginning of the second week, that's not normal. :)
As for the Elves, I think the race doesn't have any obvious advantages and is generally well-balanced. That's all.

In terms of balance, I think Mages are the most balanced of all the races. Both in the early and late game. There aren't any major imbalances, except perhaps for a few strong minor artifacts for initiative in the late game. The Elves, on the other hand, are not well-balanced at all. If you're going to make a race with a slow start, weak in the beginning, but powerful in the late game, as it would be right for the Elves, then you need to give them something in the late game that will really make them feel their power. For example, increase the Elven luck by a factor of 4, so that it really becomes a lucky race, compared to other races. Or something else. And the Knights. For some reason, they look much stronger at any stage of the game, and the further you go, the worse it is for the Elves. For example, the much-praised Elven archers. As a race of archers, they should be very strong. But, a Knight comes along with empathy, inspiration, shooting, and retribution, under blessing, punishing, and acceleration, and his crossbowmen start shooting like a machine gun, becoming much faster, stronger, tougher, and also protected from arrows by armored units, compared to the much-praised Elven archers.
