"If they were astonished at what they saw, their captors were even more astonished. Four tall Men stood there. Two had spears in their hands with broad bright heads. Two had great bows, almost of their own hight, and great quivers of long green feathered arrows. All had swords at their sides, and were clad in green and brown of varried hues, as if to walk unseen in the glades of Ithilien. Green guantlets covered their hands, and teir faces where hooded and masked with green, except for their eyes, which were very keen and bright. At once Frodo thought of Boromir, for these Men were like him in stature and bearing, and in their manner of speech."

"The Hobbits sat down again, but they said nothing to one another of their thoughts and doubts. Close by, just under the dappling shadow of dark bay trees, two men remained on guard. They took off their masks now and again to cool them, as the day-heat grew, and Frodo saw that they were goodly men, pale skinned, dark of hair, with grey eyes and faces sad and proud. They spoke together in soft voices, at first using the Common Speach, but after the manner of the older days, and then changing to another language of their own. To his amazement Frodo became aware that it was the elven-tangue that they spoke, or one but a little bit different; and looked at them with wonder, for he knew then this must be Dúnedain of the South, men of the line of the Lords of Westernesse."

Now that is quite a bit of quoting for not alot of suggesting now is it? Well I was playing the mod some building an Ithilien Ranger Hideout. When we look at the Ithilien Rangers they are not what Tolkien imagined, while they are close, they are not perfect. I am going to suggest a few minor things.

Ithilien Ranger Armor-

I propose that the brown cloth covering the mouth be extended up to the Ranger's eyes, and one cloth go down from the top to the eyes.

I also proposed that the chestplate be extended to the end of the arm, that area would be green of varied hues.

Also, it does not make sense for them to have the white tree emblazoned on their chest, while it is of various color to help with the camoflauge it is a dead give away if seen.

Ithilien Rangers-

They should all have grey eyes, they should also have pale skin but with obvious signs of living of the land, like dirt.

The Banner Bearer of Ithilien shsould be removed because sorry, they relied on guerilla warfare, and ambushes and banners are a dead give away.

The Rangers of Ithilien should now be divided into two types, spear and bow rangers. The Spear Ranger will use a Gondorian Spear at first and as the secondary weapon use a sword. The Bow Ranger will use a Gondorian Bow then switch to Sword at close range. The spawning of these two types will be 50/50

Gondor Spear

This isn't as important but could the texture of the shaft of the spear be changed to a wood, I mean that seems like quite a bit of iron wasted on that.

Thank you for reading this, any suggestions and critique is welcomed, until we meet again!
