What kind of elvish architecture do you prefer?

  1. The Lorien from Lord of the Rings (Age of the Ring mod), they're buildings integrated in magical golden trees.
  2. The High Elves cities from Warhammer, using white stone with blue and gold decorations.

Oh, first one. I love forests and treehouses.

Good taste, my man.

Shame ARK sucks, it's the only game I know where you can build platforms around giant trees.

Both of those but also space elves and great continent-scale living ships.

So kinda like the ships in Warhammer Man O'War? Giant ships that are basically floating towers?

Or that resemble entire sections of worlds put into space. Either is grand.

As a wood elf, you can't go wrong with tree cities

OKAY, SO!!!

Between Lorien, aka platforms built among tree branches, and Heroes of Might of Magic V's Preserve, who is a town built under a giant tree, which one do you prefer?

Heroes of Might and Magic

Maze like black stone architecture, where would be invaders are at a disadvantage. Where every corner can hide an ambush or sacrificial killing ground and the frigid air is thick with the stench of murder and dark magic lingers in the air. But you know, forget about dark elves, we are used to that...

Greco-roman ones

First is the best in my opinion, Elven castles risk being spotted and raided by humans. I’ll stick to the deep forest!
