As far as I know night elves are a trademark of BLIZZARD entartainment, so I think it is better to go on a similar concept but with a different name

Changed.

Moon is associated with night so this is too similar.

But it is not copyrighted.

Works unless you want to call them Star Elves.

Nono. Not the Star Elves.
No space marines, Shattles, UFOs and Cosmic Orbital Stations.

Also this will fit for second subrace of elves — Sun elves.

If that's what you called space elves.

Nope. they are just more advanced than normal elves. on similar to humans stage (but still a bit worse in construction of buildings and mechanical units)

Since the original idea was based on night elves I'd say that they aren't advanced at human level (those are mostly high elves). Wow night elves are more similar to wood elves

-top: high elf (grey metal colors)

-center: dark elf

-down: wood elf

I think that they are capable of making better variant of ballista that can bring down buildings but still it will be weaker than humans siege.
Same is with some others:
Better than wood elves, in armor, shipmaking, towers but weaker than humans still.

Grall - we don't have DARK elves. these ones are Moon elves, based on Night elves of Warcraft 3.
I really don't like idea of working together for normal and dark elves. It is like working together for Demons and Angels or for Undeads and Angels.

Just for inspiration pal no need to get mad

Also these images are too raceless exept last one.

raceless?

Yep.
Who is inside that armor - Human? Elf? Draenei? Zombie?
Or Assasin from Assasin's Greed?

The first one is a swordmaster

The second ine is a dark elf spearman

The thirds are just regular wood elfes archers

This image has white lions left, light swordmasters right,
Tyrion the lion top, imperial dragon top left

as for me first and second images from previous post are raceless. just armor concepts.
This one shows and army of... Humans? Elves? i can't say. Despite these ones look too humanly in the way that they wear animals, too much armor, big weapons.

Real evles of our game are friends of nature and must NOT look like that.
Also regardless of name Elf must be quick and agile so armor must fit for that. I can't say that those elves you showed up can move fast in such armors.

I prefer these ones much more:

This is High Elf





And this is Night Elf



Main thing is color of their bodies, hair and color of their armors.

The High Elves are bit more human, at least that what I seen from this. looks like they preferably like to wear a bit of light armor unlike the Woods elves. A bit more on fighting with blades and up close. The skin color shouldn't be purple since well I don't think that it will looks good in game.

well they are 2 different fantasy universes.

And high elves are the most advanced and proud of themselves and their skin color is white (human)

dark elves do nasty stuff I dont want to describe and their skin is very palid

wood elves on the other hand do love nature their main guy is a goddamn tree and their skin is green

You mention High Elves with two different skins.

Definately NO.

As i see lore for elves:
Wood Elves are basic ones.
Moon Elves are more nature ones, they can use nature and even cosmic magic to defend forests. They are shadows of Forests.
Sun Elves on the other side are artificers, warriors. they are creating better ships and some siege units to defend forests.

Also about color of body - i think we can live without color change but their armors must be different:
Wood Elves - Gold, Green
Moon Elves - Deep dark Blue, Dark Gray, Dark Purple
Sun Elves - Orange, White, Metallic.

like the ones im suggesting?

no.
The ones you are suggesting are WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too armored.

all elves prefer Light armor for better mobility.

thats a myth but I agree

that is Special strength of elves in AoF.
They have better mobility and can dodge attacks.

I can't imagine how any "elf" from your picture can dodge anything (apart from those archers in green capes)

I don't think all prefer light armor.

they need atleast one heavy unit besides the ents tho

Also that's your lore you want, maybe a few others. But not everyone.
