Faction description

Lindon, the biggest area of belireiad that remained above the surface, bloomed in the 2nd age under the reign of the last high king Gil-Galad, the noldor and sindar that remained build the twin harbours of Forlond and Harlond, and the Gray Havens were Cirdan Had lordship. After the fall of Gil-Galad the elves of lindon rarley went out to war, all taking Cirdan as their lord, although their king fell i the last alliance, they still march to war with the banner of Gil-Galad, the last high king.

all i got so far im not good at these

if you have any suggestions please post or if you would like to help id gratley accept

also if the faction symbol i have right now isnt very good i will be making one with stars on blue like the banner from the silmarilion or just keeping the one iv alredy made depends on what you people would like


all units will be most AOR,

normal units will be the high elves swordsman (no changes) elven bowman (no changes)
then for like the semi-elite will be: mariners of the harbours - shortbows, shortswords, chainmail no helm and a buckler

lindon horse archers - eldar calvary with bows and silver armour instead of gold


lindon pikeman - pikes with silver armour

lindon archers - eldar archers with silver armour and gondor helms, - can only be recruited in the areas in lindon

elite units will be AOR
harlond gaurdians, high helm, tower shield, longsword and chainmail
forlornd riders, long lance, high helm, no shield, shortsword and chainmail
mithlond senteries, composite bow, longsword, silver and blue chainmail

oh and that island next to the erud luin will be a new region and ill make a few regions around rivendell, such as dunedain camp

progress:
coding 70%
mapping 0%
units 0%

lindon ingame

[SPOILER][/SPOILER]


now i will be drawing concepts of the units and theyll be done as soon as i can finish them

mithlond sentry's helmet and long sword on the left, helmet based of a saxon helmet and on the right is lindon pikemans helmet pike and short sword, helmet is base of a thracian helmet..well its pretty much a thracian helmet

i know i cant draw so give me a brake

[AnChoróinIarainn]

Is it said specifically that they marched under the banner of Fingolfin somewhere?
As neither Círdan or Gil-Galad are of that house.
Círdan being Sindar and Gil-Galad being of the house of Finarfin.
Somebody please correct me if I'm wide of the mark....

[Varjon]

No, it wasn't stated anywhere. Besides, there weren't any actual members of house of Fingolfin left in Middle-earth except maybe Elrond but even he was pretty distant relative, not to mention line of Elros.

I think Círdan was Sindar (or Falathrim because he was lord of Falas) though he was born in one of the first Elven generations if not in the first.

[Beorn]

In HoME series it's stated that he was a kinsman to Thingol, IIRC a nephew of him.
So, not one of the very 1st generations of elves

[Ellin Athinaios]

In HoME series it's stated that he was a kinsman to Thingol, IIRC a nephew of him.

Does it mention who his parents were?

[Beorn]

Chris states that he hasn't found any mor edetailed relation that "kinsman to Olwe and Elwe" in HoME XI, "of Quendi and Eldar", note 15

[Miroslav Klose]

Will Imladris be independent in your submod?

[Ceasar Gubius]

This looks interesting ! Pehaps you may want to describe what you plan on doing for the units, what the regions will be, AND what new and exciting things we have to look forward to ...

BTW, hope this wors out

[fd7s]

haha woops ill change everything when i get a chance, yes imladris will be its own faction ill give it a few regions aswell

but first i have to get the factin in the game then i will start on all that oh and i update the first post with info on units

and the silmarillion says he is the son of fingon and isnt fingon the son of fingolfin?

got lindon ingame can someone point me to a tutorial with how to get the COA i made into the game cause i cannot find one

[AnChoróinIarainn]

Yes it does say in the Silmarillion that he is Fingons son but CT has admitted that it was a mistake on his part.
In the original scripts he was actually the son of Orodreth son of Angrod who in turn was son of Finarfin

[fd7s]

oh thank you ill fix the descriptin and banner now

[AnChoróinIarainn]

No problem, glad to be of some help!

[fd7s]

the new banner is up tell me if you like it

[AnChoróinIarainn]

Do I need GIMP to open that banner file?

[fd7s]

i put it in the first post thing so dw bout downloading it

[AnChoróinIarainn]

Although he was of that house, Gil-Galad had his own heraldry

[img=http://imageshack.us/thumbnmail.png]


And since he was the last ruling king of the Noldor in Middle-Earth, maybe it makes more sense to use his herald?

Edit: Ach, sorry bout the size of the file

[fd7s]

thanks ill use it now about the size dw haha ill scale it down thank you so much i didnt no he had a herald

fixed it is it ny good or should i use different colours?

[AnChoróinIarainn]

Once again, I'm glad to help!

[fd7s]

thanks so much do you have any ideas for the mod?

[el Cid]

No offence, but your faction symbol really isn't that good. I suggest asking DAC to use theirs, or asking in the Graphics Workshop for someone to make you a symbol.

You do have good ideas so I have good hopes for this.
