Redwood Ents. :
Large armored and likened to the ancient giants of the forest, ents come to a bulky 12 feet tall, at the shoulders.
The ents typically have a posture that can be likened to a gorilla, with a large thick back, covered in bark-like armor and two massive arms both of which are large and thick, creating massive clubs that can crush almost any mortal when they clench their fists. These large arms, also help to protect the ents less armored torso which helps keep them flexible.

An ents head has a thick “helmet” of bark, stopping at their brow and they have a long ridge of bark coming up from their collar so that ents can tuck their heads in and protect their vulnerable face.

The bark of an ent possess two layers, the first layer of the ent is extremely hard, and thick. Capable of acting As armor, thick and strong to defend agist any attack from their lessers. The second layer of bark is weaker, but still thick and has a large amount of water in it, helping to protect the important inner organs of an ent.


Angelic War leaders
:
Winged humanoids, descended from the almighty power of the archangel, stand at 8 feet tall with large wings similar to that of the archangel. While they are many times weaker than the archangel, the angel war leaders are still powerful being, with strong physical strength and an acute mind for war. They appear similar to the archangel although distinctly lesser.
The angelic war leaders, lose much of the magic that the Archangel possess, with the exception of the mass heal spell. The war leaders lead from the front of the armies of the light, directing Sgiath elves in the skies and ordering the ground forces from above while at the same time, healing the injured soldiers around them with the holy magic that they possess from their heritage.


So here are two proposals, ents for the tanks. personally, I kinda want to wait for the plane of water now to make tanks because water has scales ans shells and a distinct lack of a fire weakness. but ents, as detailed above, should work well.
Angels war leaders are meant o serve as field leaders, strong combatants and capable of using the MAssheal spell which is awesome.

over in the discord here's what the GM said about it
"It depends on how many are injured in the area of effect, and how injured they are.
it can heal a million paper cuts, ten thousand minor cuts, one thousand deep(but otherwise unlikely to kill) cuts, five hundred lost limbs can have the bleeding stopped, or 100 people can be saved from likely death."

It's really really good. and something of a trump card over darkness because healing is something that we can be really good at with the archangel.

Probably best to invest a design now in Ents.

Apparently we're going to have to invest 1% of our budget per Elf we want to arm, unless the GM actually did just misinterpret the intent of the design and it's going to perpetually provide weapons...somehow.


Anyways, probably worthwhile for the first turn or so, since we'll be taking the nearby planes at first.

For now, Ents! Or something else. I'll suggest something not-wooden later.

Taurgorn
Great giants of the forest, standing as tall as the trees they come from, the Ents are armored with incredibly, magically dense bark that will not catch fire easily, nor can it be cut through save by the strongest of warriors, and with good axes besides. The Ents themselves aren't bothered by blunt force or stabbing, as they are similar to trees, with vital functions distributed throughout individual cells. The only concentrated part of an Ent is its brain, and each Ent keeps it in a different location (Well, it grows in a different location in each Ent, anyway). They are five meters tall and monstrously strong, capable of crushing even an armored warrior into paste and metal scrap, and are capable of covering great distance at speed, for they do not tire and have long, swift strides. They will grow on their own as a population, slowly, but steadily, like the trees they come from, or they can be converted through magic from existing trees, even trees that have been bonded to an Elf.

Could we get an explanation about the Sylvari bow? We don’t know anything about the project and why it is too expensive to prototype. Really just the gms take on it would be nice as well.

What I got was that you were producing a design for a tree related to elves that produces better bows then normal, I am not willing to say what the actual roll was, but in the hopes of getting you voting today I will say that it was very good.

Prototyping them is invalid (Because yes) so you could've just deleted my vote to avoid confusion.

Doesn't matter, though.

You guys should really start filling in all available options. not just the ones you are voting for.

That just adds to clutter---if you're not willing to know what it is, you shouldn't be voting for it.

Also, the only option YOU added is already at the top of the votebox.

My apologies. I don't realize that you would erase an option , and that I am voting for something that doesn't exist.

...eehhhhhh.

I'll go with the angels for now, but ents, of some variety, are still a priority, people.

So for the production phase I think we should make

Plan: basic population and prototyping
2950 Sgiath taking up 5900 UWP
100 Full cost angels. 4000 UWP
1 Sylvari bow  100 UWP

10,000 uwp total.

Thsi plan lets us, prototype the Sylvari, Gives us a breeding pop of elves and angels as we arn't able to attack anywhere yet (so we don't need weapons) The GM said that for every 10 living member of a race, 3 would be born over turn.
