Man, I really wish I could see the Orcs and Easterlings pics in your other thread.
Everybody's saying they're amazing and I'm like "dammit...".
As for what I can see, both here and in the other thread, well, that's nothing short of amazing. Your work is truly of superior quality.
Just out of curiosity, what is the texture size on your models, namely 1024*1024 or 2048*2048? I ask because the details (e.g. motifs on breast-plate and shields) are sharp and clear, in glaring contrast to the blurry mess of vanilla units, which had me wondering. Also, might I ask what your average vertex count per model is? Thank you!

Will be neat to see some ingame shots in the future

Thanks! All I'm really doing is just editing already existing models and textures, so none of this is actually made from scratch by me. I just edit them to my liking. The textures are 1024*1024.

Don't worry it's not the ingame background, I chose this colour for the the preview just so the unit cards are more visible. I suppose I could also change the colour for the preview.

Nice unit cards

[Khevsur]

My recommendation is add your Units in leo,s patch and DaC .

Also some things may change unit wise until the release.

One other thing. What should these units be named? Feel free to post suggestions.

can you tell us their roles and tier that will give a frame to work from

[bushmonster951]

Top line, from left to right: 1 & 2 are lowest tier (levies), 3 & 4 militia, 5 & 6 I imagine them as some young warriors, sons of lesser nobles or something ... 7 & 8 professional soldiers.
Bottom line : 9 & 10 same as 7 & 8 but slightly better equipment (they look fancier ), 11 & 12 top tier available everywhere (top tier barracks), 13 & 14 elites recruitable only in Númenor, 15 & 16 aor units from Armenelos & 17 is general's bodyguard also only recruitable in Armenelos.

[Dutch-Balrog]

Recruitable in Númenor? You planning to edit the campaign map or something?

It's far from being finished but yes, I do plan to edit the campaign map. But I'm still not sure if I'm going to release this as a submod on it's own or just the units. I don't have patience to balance all the factions as I like to turtle around and make some really overpowered. Also, this won't be "lore friendly". I like Númenóreans and all of the Dúnedain and I plan to add all of the Dúnedain factions that have ever existed and just watch them have a go at each other (with me playing as one of them). However I will include some orcs, dwarves and northmen. You might ask why is there no elves. Let's just say I want to do something after this ...

Here's the island of Elenna, still no Númenor though.

I don't really like that idea. This is my personal project of modding my own build the way I like it. This is also why it's not very probable that this "mod" will be released as a whole but rather just the units I make for it. The reason for that is, I don't have the patience for testing the balance of the game and once I'm satisfied with the game there won't be any major improvements further on. Aside from that, it's not "lore friendly" viewed from any perspective.
I already named them Swordsmen of Armenelos and Guardians of Meneltarma.

[marcofar]

just give us the units

Hmmm i feel like the helmet and armour don't go together, the soldier also seems a little skinny.
