What version of the game have you got?

In 1.3 Wood Elves have very powerful ranged and ok melee stuff whilst High Elves only get good ranged stuff much later on, but their melee stuff is generally more efficient for the cost. High Elves have also got the Income upgrades too.

In 1.03.24 Wood Elves are useless so the High Elves would be the good choice.

In 1.03.25, it's pretty much a similar story to 1.3, only the Wood Elven ranged stuff has been toned down a little bit and Treants are more efficient for their costs. Wood Elves also get Oakmen which aren't bad at all, and can be put into a mine (however, Elven mine filler has half the effect of other races since 1.03.2). That said, the throttling of the generals means that the High Elven Moonguards are very difficult to produce, so Wood Elves pretty mcuh have directly better ranged stuff but worse/slower melee stuff and a worse economy.
