Alright, so, this faction is almost a carbon copy of the Human one or at least the one in the original campaign. It's been done before too many times. It needs custom abilities, techtree creativity etc. Substandard. If you want more reviews, you...

Using same models for units and heroes - a bad choice. You make a map for classic, not reforged, and classic WC3 has a lot of great custom models for any taste.
Besides, it's too similar to humans, even the item shop.
And what's with the Lietenant unit? Description said that he's master in destroying spellcasters, but how? With spell immunity and defend?

With a glance at the screenshot, so far it seems like it just copies the RoC campaign's High Elves without adding anything to it. Granted, that's based purely off the screenshot, so there might be more to it than that. It's also worth mentioning that I have a soft spot for the RoC campaign's High Elves, so it has a nice callback to it.

What Reflex says about the model choices seems to cover anything else I could say based off the screenshots. There isn't a shortage of options available for Elf models on the hive, although you may have to sift through a lot of Blood Elves before finding the more quality High Elf options.

I'll be curious to give this a play soon, I wish you the best of luck going forwards with this one :)

the choice of using units as the hero is worse...plus the race doesn't have any of those ultimate units such as mountain giant, abominable, etc...the race is super weak, so maybe using Golem could be a good idea
