thanks
palace guards are replacing silvan h. archers which also as shown in preview are now called galdhrim h. archers
and have been given an additional body type color....(green mint)

(i was thinking of adding a poll with the new factions units into the 1st page, but probably Marchwardens / Mirkwood Nobles or Forest Kings P. Guards would be the winners so..... )

Nice new unit. Very good work koul!!!

Watch out that you won't add too many new units. This is supposed to add factions to tatw, but in the same style. It won't fit them if they have a lot of units compared to the original factions. But I trust in you

We still need some help in the coding and normal textures making departments, guys

And that`s actually the rarest kind of modder. ^^

The new unit looks great, btw. They look "leafy" and pretty unique.

Thanks for the nice comment, Lordinquisitor...

I believe we'll find one, but I wish this to should be done soon...

Heya, great work on the elves. I only have a few disagreements regarding the Mirkwood variety.

We've talked many times how Silvans (especially those in Mirkwood) are a more rustic people and I feel they have too many swords in the roster. Mostly I'm talking about the light infantry. Whatever swords the "Mirkwoodians" may have they'd be reserved for high tier warriors, not distributed to militia grade units. Personally I'd completely remove this unit from the Silvan roster and since it's a unit they share with other elven factions it wouldn't be a big tragedy either. Spearmen should be the Silvans' main line infantry with archers doing most of the killing.

Following the same idea Mirkwood Riders should have spears instead of swords imo.

Also the name Palace Guards sounds a bit too "grandiose" for Mirkwood elves. Unless we go by a loose interpretation of the word the "Forest King" didn't even have a palace. The ruler of Mirkwood resides in underground caverns said to be a mini version of Thingol's Menegroth.

Also the term "palace guard" tends to invoke images of a heavy defensive unit like a halberdier or something similar which this unit isn't. Something like "FK's Cave Watchers/Cavern Guards" might be more suitable.

These are my only suggestions for improvement.

As I said, great work. I love the skirmishing javelin wardens.

This is an interesting thought we'll take it in mind =, Silvan Infantry may be removed.

they will be renamed and will have a different role than u think

Yeah, I wanted to depict with them the Guards of the Gate of the Caverns of Thranduil's Palace in the Hobbit, the name isn't final though

These are my only suggestions for improvement.
