Very nice, I'm glad you're back.

Thanks, Dejeyo. After wading through a sea of '500 - Internal Server Error' today, I now feel like saying:

No - screenie time! Some screenies of the new units shared by RK and Adunabar. More to come in the next few days as I go along (more militias, cavalry etc). As you will notice, the RK and Adunabar Spearmen have differently shaped 3d shields. They share the same model, and the model comes with two shields, each of which dras texture from a different area of the unit skin, with the one used by the other faction alpha-chanelled out.

Yesterday I've made new Gondor Spear Militia, so here you go:

That spear militia... Deja vu?

Long time no see. Yes, a bit of a déjà-vu for you with some elements. New Heads and helmets though, and textures, of course. The more basic units (many militias) benefit a lot from some other work I've done last year. So...

**Blatta Optima Maxima** · May 12, 2013, 03:59 PM

Of course you've changed the helmets. Gondorian militiamen running around in sallets would be inexcusible.

And obviously no high tier units. Can't have poll-axe wielding soldiers in full plate strolling around in Middle Earth, can we?

Maybe in a sub-mod...

So, that's how you save unit slots... Clever! Same thing for wings attached on RK's helmets I presume.
I’m glad to see that Black Tree symbol is now only reserved for Cultic units.

The unit are awesome!Especially they shields and faces!
P.S.I thought to replay Fourth Age some day ago and visit this thread.Imagine my amaze, when i found that you guys, working on new version of this brilliant mod!
