Decrease size of elves faction

The size of the elves factions is much larger than any of the others. Any way the size could be decreased without removing graphics or units?

The elves were put in a different repo and are now available from the mod center.

The average size of faction in our data repo is around 40MB. The elves around around 250MB. If the models could be reduced in file size but yet maintain a high-quality appearance, that would be just super.

This faction, for example, the graphics are a very nice quality, and the total size is 37Mb.
