-- Preview of Gondor --

[Iustinianos]

Looks amazing. Beyond my expactations. Fantastic work!

[Code_Knight]

why not make them pikemen/swordsmen?

[The Big Red 1]

So just make them like heavy Infantry. Or can you mix those two unit roles?

you can mix them, you can make them have two weapons, so it could be a spearmen/swordsmen, check out BC, they have that feature on some of the units.

[The Big Red 1]

I see what you mean. Don't the Pikemen in ME2TW switch to swords too they just suck at it?


Also do you guys have the stats done for these units? If you do can you release them?"I need something to argue about this summer."

[Lunes]

Maybe a release of Gondor and the Elves units for custom battles. Not trying to be demanding, but that would be something fun to occupy my time... I could prove that Gondor really would have kicked the elves back into their forests if they got into a fight

[Turtules]

TRue dat.

[The Big Red 1]

FAlse dat. Elves would Spam Gondor's butt.

I thought about asking for the custom battle option but it would be to hard for the team at this point.

[Fenix_120]

Look really really hard at the kings guard unit

I was thinking more or less these guys...






But yeah I guess the kings guard could fill that role, I just expected the bread and butter unit of Gondor to be the spear man.

[Theseus1234]

ZOMG these are incredible!
although it seems like the axemen need a bit more work
+rep for your work!

[Varjon]

So... you will yet give us Gondor Spearmen and Dol Amroth Knights?

[Lebre]

just a question shouldn't the citadel guards have a long spear instead of a pike?
i think a legendary unit as they would see its efficency reduced because of this kind of weapon.

[Glorfindel]

if a unit uses phalanx and has not many soldiers then it would not be effective, therefore i agree with the expensive but regular size unit of fountain guards(also name them fountain guards-it is more correct like others said before)

[Lebre]

so how many soldiers are in a battalion?

[Juggernaut]

See KK's post, there will be a normal spearmen unit.

[kaltorak]

The pics look f*king excelent, awesame, simply great! Can´t wait for the release!

[Dex]

Correct, the guards who protect the White Tree of Gondor are called the Fountain Guards/Guards of the Fountain Court. There seems to be a common misconception in them being referred to as Citadel Guards.

Blame Battle for Middle Earth, who named their version of that guy the "Tower Guard." It's also the reason people expect them to be able to form a phalanx (which I would agree with, given the weapon they have.)

if a unit uses phalanx and has not many soldiers then it would not be effective, therefore i agree with the expensive but regular size unit of fountain guards(also name them fountain guards-it is more correct like others said before)

Imo, the ideal would have them be a normal-sized unique unit.

[DeZzErX]

I think a phalanx type unit is not a bad idea and will certainly add to the strategic value of battles. Plus I think they look awesome.

[TWoxy]

These are fantastic, well done!

[Mithrandir]

What about using the feature from the Crusades campaign, and making Fountain Guards recruitable only when Minas Tirith is controlled?
