At long last, you know what my units look like!

Basic units:

Able to hold their ground.

Union basic Infantry:



These make up about 1/4-1/2 of the the army, they are good, just above basic mannish (Gondorian, Umbarian, etc) and dwarven units, just below basic elven units (I always imagined elves had better basic units but dwarves had better elites), they have basic metal plate or chainmail and wield swords and the first row of units hold halberds and ready to make a pikewall.

Union Cavalry (Tier 1):



Mostly mannish cavalry goes here, this cavalry isnt all that good and only is used to wrap up skirmishes or fleeing units. They have chainmail and wield wooden lances with iron shortswords.

Union basic archers:

Basic archers mostly used for volleys and attacks without needing precision. They have wooden bows that can light arrows on fire and launch into an enemy. Usually protected by some form of infantry.

Average units:

Good on ya mate.

Union cavalry (Tier 2):



Most dwarven units go here, these are the cavalry most often used in main battle alongside tier three cavalry, they have dwarven plate and the rams have a spike on their helmet for, well, you know. They have axes, swords, and metal lances.

Assassins of Adelmo:



Assassins trained from birth to death to be master assassins, based off of the assassins creed assassins, they have bases in the Cloud forest, and the rohan/gondor forest. They are used in sabotage missions and taking out high ranking officials.

Union Catapults:



Better than most catapults, these are shielded with metal and can fire three types of shot: Regular, flame, and grape shot. Regular and flame are self explanitory, but grape shot is a devastating attack that can take out units at a time, but is short range.

Union Ballistae:



Powerful ballistae, once agaiin able to fire normal and fire shots, but also explosive and the infamous 'twirly whirlies' able to stop arrowfire and decimates units. The manners on these wear only leather armor and daggers. (same goes for catapults.)

Union Composite archers:



Strong chainmail and metal mesh composite bows, these guys are the definition of average, they are good at melee, and great at archery. Able to do a one time explosive volley.

Powerful units:

Powerful, but not elite.

Union Heavy Infantry.



Large bulk of Crusading or Revenge missions, these guys can take on anything and never back down, they have war masks that can strike fear into the hearts of elves and men alike, and wear full metal mesh armor, they wield a wide range of weapons, fro warhammers to swords to halberds, they have shields on their back if needed.

Union Trebuchet:



Large trebuchets coated in metal able to do more striking power and damage than the catapults, the grape shot is also able to shoot farther. manners also have metal plate and shortswords.

Pikemen of the Silver peaks:



Probably the unions most infamous  unit. These guys have defended from anything, and can defend from anything. (basically, medieval II pikemen....)

Sons of the rift:



Warriors decended from those who fought in the war of wrath, more specifically, the battle of the rift, where the Union fought the forces of melkor over a large ravine, where most fell. The place has long since been forgotten. But these are probably the most powerful units that arent elites. This unit is mostly made of dwarves and elves.

Elites:

Power of the Union baby!

Guardians of the Silver peaks:



Knights in silver, they were called, wielding silver alloy blades and always the first responders to a stronghold attack.

The black knights.



Rarely seen, but always watching. This unit is the perfect mix of clean kill and brute force, wearing mithril trimmed armor, they patrol special battlements located through all the strongholds in the white mountains, they have been known to stop skirmishes single handedly. each has a dedicated blade called the 'Shadowstopper' a mithril blade tainted black.

Yes, i will add to this, this isnt even half of my units, but ill keep updating. Im jsut tired of finding pictures.
