Great idea,i saw them and went crazy!Man what a nice piece of work!
If you are a newguy into modeling and stuff ,you can apreciate the work even more than the guy that is outside of it.I wanted to make a militia unit using spears ,and when it came to texturing ,i kinda banged myself towards the wall.
Although im a bit sad ,cause i was in the process of making a submod that is quite close,but not the same, to yours (kinda 70% complete).Im glad that i aint the only one that believes militia's should get some attention,and that the solution to every woe isn't only "gimme more units " .
Looks REALLY good :) I think it will add to gameplay quite a bit. Thanks :)
I really like this concept. However, if Mordor, Harad, and other factions don't get similar ones, it seems a tad unbalancing.
Any chance to see some amour upgrades for Orcs? For Orc bands it could be just no amour like the snaga units and then the regular leather amour. It would give a bit more flavor and diversity to the game.
Well, it's just a submod. If you have certain problems with it, don't install it. It's not a bad idea to do something similar with Gondor's usual enemies but it would be easier if you just tweak the orks a bit, as per your personal preference.Quote:

Kudos on your input sofar, a massive increase in playability, i hope you comple Gondor and move onto Mordor next!.
Concerning balance there is nothing easier than to add the same number of upgrades to Gondor's ennemies, regardless the unchanged models and skins the stats will be improved and the balance will be back.
I think will great idea to add your mod to vanilla tjird age total war.
I'm loving the update...it's aesthetically pleasing as well as a great way to ensure Gondor can rely on simple militia in a tight pinch, which I am in right now.
Pelagir Marines could be leather and then chain upgrade, increasd building lvl then just upping pool and replenish rates.
Finally... figured out how to get UV-maps properly for complex models. Made completely new 3 spears and a round shield. Main parts of the body was taken from vanilla M2TW, the belt from original gondor militia, found a useful cape, a couple of helmets and a set of pauldrons from Rusichi TW. I am thinking of using the cape, it is similar to rohan's capes. Not sure about the pauldrons though, they are small, but still probably too good for levies. May be on ug1 and ug2.
Here are my self-made spears and the shield:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
What do you guys think? Dont look at the textures, those are old, just needed something to see how it looks. I am planning to texture all night long. So, if you are quick enough with suggestions, I might alter the models of the spears. However the shield will remain as it is, it is way too hard to redo. Spears are easier though.
Spears: I don't like the second spear much, but I wanted to try something new. The third one reminds of gondorian spears, but a lighter version of it.
Shield: The middle part will have metal texture. The rest will be wooden with "old" paint to look more natural. Thats my plan.
If this night is productive, will show the full body tomorrow. Ok, time to go texturing... :doh:
really nice models! good work
Spears:
They are all good, but certainly the left one with the olive leaf form, looks the best for a Militia unit.
Shield:
Looks very good, top.:thumbsup2
Regarding Pelagir Marines. I think an armour upgrad would be wrong, because Marines should not have chain mail, or other metal armour. Too, heavy in chase the ship will sink.;)
But, I could imagine a Pelagir Spear unit as AOR. Equiped with such a heavy percussion spear

Should be ap and good against heavy infantry, like Trolls and halfmen from harad.
BTW, these are utterly gorgeous units. Kudos. :)
Nicely done. The upgrades look great!
Brilliant, very clever way of adding to Gondor without going over the top with their roster, spearmen sound promising too :)
With regards to the OP, I'm not sure about the idea of removing the Gondorian helmets completely from the lower tiers, they're different enough as is, and the helmet is what make their units 'Gondorian' for me. Other than that though, fantastic!
i got an unexpected ctd the moment i tried a custom battle with gondor militia, so it doesnt work
The files changed are pretty simple and robust. Are you playing with another submod? If playing with another MOD, as long as the ModelDB files are consistent with TATW 3.1 and modded properly, then a fairly simple hand editing of copy/paste in the EDU should work fine.Quote:

You cannot have a mod that adds units, or reassigns units to 3.1 however, or the militia DB will not work
hi, i thought that i had quoted you in an early post, but it didnt appear in mine, i am responding to your post about this modification being compatible with AUM extra units using the file that you provided, ive tried reinstalling because i love your units and also love the ones in that mod but i had no sucess, when i use gondor milita in battle i get and unexpected error.
