This suggestion is about the under-poweredness of the Gondor Tower Guard, and was inspired by a comment I saw on the Facebook Page.

The unlimited spear is useless when they charge straight into melee with it. The spear is not a powerful or fast enough weapon for this engagement. I had a Tower Guard fight a Gundabad Chieftain and, even after throwing a spear at the orc, he was slain. The elite of Gondor should be able to go up against Black Uruks. Here are a few ideas to make them more powerful.

1. Give them a new armor. Call it Citadel Guard Armor. It should be made by surrounding a Gondor piece with alternating silver nuggets and black wool. It would have the appearance of Gondor armor, but with silver and gold highlights and black robes. The armor should have at least the strength of Dol Amroth armor, but be uncraftable and a rare find in chests.

2. Tower Guard Pikes: A mostrosity of a polearm. A long black shaft, with a golden crescent below a silver blade. Does severe damage to foes. Should probably be uncraftable, but can be found rarely in chests.

I have three side notes as well.

1. It appears to me that to show how evil is winning the war, Mevans is making powerful evil mobs. This goes against Sauron's strategy, which was hordes, hordes, hordes. I feel Gondor should not have worse soldiers, but far more expensive and less common strong ones.

2. Can we please remove beacon towers? Both on fortresses and in the White Mountains? There were only seven(?) beacon towers in existance along the border of Anorien. Tower Guard should only spawn in the Pellenor Fields, and once Minas Tirith is added, only on the seventh layer.

3. I think Tower Guard should be changed to Guard of the Citadel, the canon name.

Please consider these changes, as always, comments, kudos, and constructive critiscism are welcome.
