Location Victor

Mountains Elves
Desert Men
Plains Toss-up
River Side Elves
Forest Elves
Sea Toss-up

Elves had the immense advantage of range (longbows), so an approaching army would be decimated if the Elves had a height advantage. On plains, it would be even, because the Men would reach the Elves by the time a third salvo got off. In the desert, the dunes would work to infantry's advantage. At sea, Men had more ships, but Elves had better ships. A river would prevent Men from closing to meléê , and the archers could pick them off one by one. Forest: think talans.
