okay this is gonna be long so bare with me.

unit costs are under the general file name that it corresponds to. for example Arwen's build cost can be found and edited under data/ini/object/goodfaction/units/elven/arwen.ini Go to it and hit Ctr+f to bring up the find option and type in cost and hit enter. It should then take you to a thing that has BuildCost = 2000 simply edit the number 2000 to desired cost and your done. In game Arwen will cost whatever you put to build. Your going to find Galadriel, Legolas, and Gil-Galad have a build cost that says "GALADRIEL_BUILDCOST" or whatever hero respectfully. that i can't help with. i've tried editing that to no avail.
most of the elven units are found under data/ini/object/goodfaction/units/elven/onewelvenunits.ini i haven't tested weather the editing in these fields works or not, but i'm assuming it does.
most of elven buildings are under data/ini/object/goodfaction/elvenfactionbuildings.ini HOWEVER be warned that after just looking at it i'm sure some of those are NOT in the game costs and not ALL should be tampered with. Ones that match the amount you pay in game for the building can be.
Command points can be found under data/ini/object/gamedata.ini MAKE SURE YOU get the right ones though. and again haven't tested editing this either.

just as a note, the changes you make EXCEPT the ones to command points, will only affect elven faction. so if you play against a computer the computer won't be able to ... well ... fight back much if your pulling out riders for 10 bucks apiece.

and since you seem like you want to build alot fast the build times are generaly found right around the same place as cost. not all are editable but some are. so you could put 5 for a five second spawn time :dry:

and if you look around in the data/ini/object files every unit can be found just not edited.
hope this helps :xcahik_:

actually theres a fairly simple way to edit SOME of the heros and units costs. i for example am playing a customized version of Elven Alliance with Glofindel, Elrond costing 1500 and Thranduil,Arwen, Celeborn costing 1000. Legolas, Galadriel, and Gil-Galad can't be changed. so you could edit it in for them to be just worth like 10 fairly easily with the FinalBig tool mentioned above.
