    But does it change anything if you can recruit Fountain Guards only from Minas Tirith?

    If the ZoR for Fountain Guards is limited to Minas Tirith, then the unit is only retrainable in Minas Tirith. Therefore one would be more likely to keep the Guard close to home.

    Other than that, it's a matter of following the lore.

    They look good, but the elves look better

    I have to disagree I think Gondor looks just as good if not better than the elves.

    I agree with you agreeing with him

    Both factions look just as good.

    You don't really want to close down your Gondor Unit thread because of spam do you?

    I just had to add an emote on this one. Plus I think it's a new one.

    this looks sweet, are the rangers like sherwood archers in that they are good at hand to hand combat too?

    Thanks again everyone.


    Regarding the archers questions:
    These units really are impressive. Will there be gondorian longbowmen like the ones in FATW?
    KK, are those Ithilien Rangers "hybrid" -units? By that I mean that are they also quite strong with sword?
    I suppose the Ithilien Rangers will be similar to longbowmen; Great range and damage but limited in melee. The Gondor Archers are medium skilled archers who are great in melee combat.

    So... you will yet give us Gondor Spearmen and Dol Amroth Knights?
    Yes, along with a new captain and general, of course.

    If someone convinces me that they should be different, I may change this...
    You asked for it.Directly from the Lord of the Rings:
    Thanks for convincing me, Eleril!

    Well said. In my opinion, the Fountain Guards are the crown jewel unit in the Gondor faction preview. Please give them the black cloaks they're seen wearing in the LotR Motion Picture trilogy.
    After Eleril's post I have actually no other choice to give them black cloaks.
    Anyway I have also used the pic you posted for reference, but isn't his a dark purple cloak he is wearing? I guess my eyes must be bad.

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

    But the Ithilien Rangers were the ones in the movies, and books that were good at both. THey sould be good melee units.

    The Rangers of Ithilien were good with swords but their main strenght was their stealth. That meant that they didn't wear a lot of armour. There should be able to inflict a lot of casualties on the enemy but they shouldn't be able to hold for too long in battle

    You're right, but Ithilien Rangers and Fountain Guards were elite soldiers of Gondor's army, only best were able to get in those positions.

    Fountain Guards were elite, they were the defending the White Tree and the Kings Court so they'd want to be good. The Rangers weren't nessecaily (spl?) elite. They were recruited from descendants of those who lived on the eastern side of the Anduin before the invasion of Mordor. Some of them might have been elite through experience and training but mainly they mostly started as peasants
