Editing Gunpowder (Warhammer Fantasy) (section)

===[[High Elves (Warhammer Fantasy)|High Elves]]===
High Elves don't use gunpowder for a variety of reasons. For one, it's noisy, inelegant, stinky and unreliable. Losing an eye, ear, or finger is more damaging to an Elf than it is to a short-lived man or dwarf, as they have to live with it for millennia. Longbows can be reloaded by an elf quicker and more efficiently, fired relatively simply, and used at longer ranges than a cannon or a rifle can. Magic is where Elves do more of their scholarly research in regards to magic, and consider technological advancement to be essentially "cope" from the lower races who cannot achieve the mastery over the winds or the forge as the elves do. Why have firearms when a dragon can spew fire in its stead or a mage can summon a flaming inferno at his or her finger tips? Seems superfluous compared to the heights of the High Elves

 
Additionally, the use of speed with Elves make firearms less viable simply because their longer reload times means they cannot efficiently lean into the speed and ferocity of their units most efficiently.
