2 Major Vortex
In my opinion, elves were best portrayed in The Elder Scrolls. There, they were also proud and arrogant, but this didn't make them more likable; quite the opposite. The haughty, slave-owning Dunmer are the best dark-skinned elves I can remember. Orthodox adherence to traditions + contempt for other peoples – that's what elves have always lacked.
Indeed, thanks to the great and terrible Tolkien, "classic elves" are a kind of absolute good, and they are very much lacking a couple of bad character traits.
In Heroes 5, the Sylvan elves are presented in accordance with the "Lord of the Rings" canon, and their dark counterpart is also banal: sexy girls + all the virtues of the light elves in battle and everyday life.
Regarding the plot: in my opinion, the world of Ashan is desperately lacking "detail" right now. That is, a more detailed narrative about the history and traditions of the presented races. In the Campaigns, despite a decent plot, IMHO, you don't have time to "immerse yourself" in the atmosphere of a particular people.
