The High Elves were very much more powerful than those of Lorien in The Third Age...their armor might have been cool, but their skills were nothing on the Elves of old.

I think I should rather go with Numenoreans, the greatest militarist force ever to exist...not even the armies of Valinor and Morgoth could match their hundreds of thousands in numbers, and the added bonus that each individual soldier could easily take on 10 or more orcs, it is a pity that most of them died, otherwise The War of the Ring would have never happened.

Another interpretation of mine:

"Sauron returns to his Dark Tower and declares war on Gondor, and sends forth an army of ten thousand orcs, led by his Nazgul to attempt to take the crossing and test the strength of the Gondorians. Already Sauron's forces are very strong and...uhoh, a huge army of over a million Numenoreans just showed up...ooo...ouch...Jesus...holy...okay, that ends that battle. :P"

HIC, I demand that you bludgeon yourself with a rock until your mental status returns to the level of a rapist who calls back to apologise! Your use of elaborate language and words is making me uneasy. Although, I am somewhat relieved to see that your punctuation remains shit-based.

why on earth do you believe such a thing? Valinor does not need "armies" in common sense and Morgoth had fallen before the State of Númenore excisted

The Numenoreans were strong, but the High Elves were the Ultimate Fighting Force.

Not really. Elves were destained to thier races, ultimate passing, regardless of what they did. Numenerouns would've been able to match an elves skill, just becasue elves are immortal doesn't make them better fighters.

I would have to agree with socky here.They arnt the best.
Let me guess, you picked out yet another colorful box with a crank that I'm expected to turn and turn until OOP! big shock, a jack pops out and you laugh and the kids laugh and the dog laughs and I die a little inside.

Peter: Oh my god, Brian, there's a message in my Alphabits. It says, 'Oooooo.'
Brian: Peter, those are Cheerios.

Peter: I'll handle it, Lois. I read a book about this sort of thing once.Brian: Are you sure it was a book? Are you sure it wasn't nothing?Peter: Oh yeah.

How do you meassure skill? You can not. You can not say the Elves were the best warriors. Locky doesn't say Numenorians were the best, just that Elves were not. So - Locky is right in this matter. A single Numenorian could be better than another Elf, but it could be otherwise as well.....no way to meassure. So - discuss which race you like best. Don't start saying it necessary is the best because you think so ;wink;

I, myself find Elves quite skillful and agile in combat, and I'd say that High Elven warriors might be a bit better than even Numenorians, but then again - I don't know!

*cough* why were elves leaving for the undying lands if their race is so powerfull?*cough* Why did some elves become corrupted at Gondolin and joinned Gothmog, if they're so powerfull? Showing their will can be just as weak as man.

Well - I'd have to disagree on that one! Warriors of Minas Tirith and Citadel Guards, and Guards of the Fountain Court all look much cooler in their armour than Elves. Although I REALLY like High Elven armour, those sashes and cloaks are not as cool as pure steel!

I haven't read all of this but i believe in the dwarfs. Bunch together, huddle behind huge sheilds and hope for the best! They also have huge axes on their side but no cave trolls :( Also i belive that elf armour is far to elegant and in fact should be more functional
We will rise up and claim this unfinished world(if the rubber wearing monks don't stop us) or maybe we'll get tardy and sit on our computers all day.

Nah, Numeneroun armour looks much cooler, so does 3rd age Gondorina armour, Guards of the white tree look so damn awesome.

The quality of armour would go

Dwarves & Numeneroun armour on par with each other
Gondorion 3rd age armour
Elf armour(intricitly carved junk), doesn't do much in the way of defence, lol.

Dwarf armour outmatches Numenorean armour easily. Dwarves have better armour. It provides better Armour.

BTW, Elves are bteer than Numenoreans, and Dwarves are the best.
