This was legolas speaking, to elaborate a little on where I'm going here and curb objections that elves don't do the ocean thing. In LOTR, elves were excellent shipbuilders and Mariners, though they mostly did so only to reach Valinor. To match this, I think they should get some basic naval units they can build. Namely, the great transport from AoS would fit the ships they used to leave Middle Earth, and a basic warship would match nicely to what they could do if forced to turn these skills to war.J. R. R. Tolkien, in LOTR wrote:‘Look!’ he cried. ‘Gulls! They are flying far inland. A wonder they are to me and a trouble to my heart. Never in all my life had I met them, until we came to Pelargir, and there I heard them crying in the air as we rode to the battle of the ships. Then I stood still, forgetting war in Middle-earth; for their wailing voices spoke to me of the Sea. The Sea! Alas! I have not yet beheld it. But deep in the hearts of all my kindred lies the sea-longing, which it is perilous to stir. Alas! for the gulls. No peace shall I have again under beech or under elm.’

Re: Elf navy
I mostly think they weren't versed in naval warfare (honestly this is a human thing).
I think every race should have a decent transportship tough.

Re: Elf navy
Naval combat probably isn't their strong suit, but building big, fast, sturdy ships is. At least let's go with the great transport, since it already exists and just needs reskinned, and certainly fits the description.

Re: Elf navy
They already have mermaids which take TCs by the sea, and Beasts that act as a stronger trimere(I still don't know why it wasn't renamed). I'd have to agree that a good warship might break some balance. The great transport might be quicker as well, and reduce amount of units allowed to enter than the original one. Just to stay in line with their wagons.

Re: Elf navy
Other than that I wouldn't use tolkien as a reference for elves. In his settings elves are the best at everything and are like a figure of speech used to describe everything that is good and well done. I think that with the upcoming mermaid elves will have a good navy and bigger a transportship might always be proposed.

Re: Elf navy
We might use a similar concept for our elves (that are more in line with wood elves)

Re: Elf navy - Elf big transportship
That looks like a nice ship, I think just the borders around the boat could use team coloring.
