What is Alarielle-specific is her forest units, which are meh. Later on, you'll have T4 settlements anyway so you can field SoA easy, but it's not Alarielle-specific. And at the start, SoA have such high upkeep that you wouldn't get them over Archers. Honestly, even if you have Handmaiden building at T3, I'm pretty sure you can't build those in minor settlements. She's good, Sisters of Avelorn are totally amazing, but every HE faction can recruit those. So, strongest faction out of strongest race. And they're High Elves, who are arguably the strongest race. 2 reasons: they start with Alarielle, one of the best LLs in the game, and (the more important reason) they get Sisters of Avelorn, arguably the most cost-efficient unit in the game, and Handmaidens at T3, as opposed to T4 for all other HE factions. Originally posted by Xaphnir:For campaign I'd say the strongest faction is Avelorn.
