Elven Lumber Mill (Warcraft II)

Seeking insight into the mysteries of the great Ironwood trees of Northeron, the Elves of Quel'thalas constructed Lumber Mills where they became exceptional craftsmen. The Elves offered their superior skills in service to the Alliance, providing more efficient means for processing lumber. The production of ships and war machines becomes possible with the addition of these structures.

Lumber mills are also responsible for producing the perfectly crafted arrows that make the Elven Archers feared throughout the Horde. When given the necessary resources, Elven craftsmen will upgrade the quality of these arrows, thus increasing the possible damage that can be inflicted. Elven Rangers, after being trained at the Barracks, have been known to gather at the mills, honing their skills in Longbow, Marksmanship and Scouting.

• Elven Lumber Mills are used to upgrade your Elven Archers and Elven Rangers.
• If you own at least one Elven Lumber Mill, an additional 25 lumber will be added to your stockpile every time a Peasant drops off harvested lumber. Peasants can also drop off lumber here instead of the Town Hall.
• A Lumber Mill is required to build Shipyards, Guard Towers, Castles, Elven Archers/Rangers, Gnomish Flying Machines, and Ballistae.

• In scenarios where you control both Alliance and Horde units, researching an upgrade here will also grant you the equivalent Horde upgrade. If you research Marksmanship, Troll Berserkers will receive Regeneration instead (and for only 2500 gold instead of 3000).
• The heroes Alleria and Zuljin will benefit from weapon upgrades, but not Ranger upgrades, researched here.
