Warcraft Total War is a total conversion mod for Medieval II Total War. Our goal is to bring the Warcraft universe into a Total War game. This mod will feature epic battles with units from the Warcraft universe and a new campaign that will cover the events of the Third War and beyond.
The High Elves of Quel'Thalas now have access to the Bloodshades previously unique to the Blood Elves/Sin'Dorei of the Frozen Throne campaign.
Prince Kael'Thas is also a new hero in custom battle for the faction, using a bodyguard of Mages.
There existed a high elven skin of the unit, and while I wanted the unit to be unique to the Blood Elves in the past I've changed my mind.
Sulfurion had made the skin, but I didn't want the unit in the Quel'Thalas faction- so it was removed from their roster.
The reason the card is black is because we only made red Blood Elven cards or black undead cards. Well, I didn't bother to remake the card, and I suck at painting- so it's using the black card for now.
I figured that the faction would be more fun if the unit was available after all.
The High Elves also have access to Elven Rangers, Sword and Board Mercs, Northrend Elementals etc.
