This is a start of a series of videos that will chronicle the development of the High Elven military system, and how it helped to create the first superpower in the world of Warhammer Fantasy
Two points about Strength and Toughness: 1)While Strength and Toughness do represent physical strength and durability, the numerical scale used is extremely un-granular, and it's not to be assumed that two dudes with Strength 3 are actually of equal strength. For example, Strength 3 is ordinary human level, Strength 4 is the strength of an enormous, musclebound Ogre, Strength 6 is all the way up to Giants and Dragons. There's probably a considerable deal of variance between how strong two "Strength 3" models are in reality. 2)Baseline Elves and humans do indeed use the same S/T values, but every single Elf character has Toughness 3, whereas hardened and experienced Humans can reach Toughness 4 (I'm sure there's some dude with Toughness 5 somewhere). Might this imply that Elves have a kind of hard upper limit on their physical durability that exceptional humans can surpass?
That's interesting. I assume perhaps it's a combination of balance reasons and lore. There's S4 elves but you're right, they're generally T3. I think the lack of granularity is an issue but it does sort of give us a rough indication. It's probably more important to be able to have fast reactions than pure strength if your job is to stand in a shieldwall and just hold there. But I do agree with your points.
Ok fine you convinced me 😝 I did actually ponder at the biological component here. But yes perhaps that's taking it too far. But if you do, there should totally be a comparison table with other factions. Biodensity or something 😅
FYI - You'll be doing your channel a favor if you lose the intro. That zero content 30 seconds is a big ask for the modern short attention span. Not hatin', just sayin'.
