It seems to me that there arent very many great weapons in middle earth, we have swords, battleaxes, and warhammers, I think there should be another weapon. My suggestion is halberds, with slightly more range than swords, they would look sorta like spears but not throwable, and doing more damage. With slighly more range of swords and slightly more attack damage they might be viewed as overpowered, however only a few factions would have halberds: Near harad, easterlings(if they come), and elves. These would be crafted using 3 iron and 2 sticks.

X=Iron

O= Stick

Lances- Lances are like spears but are held while riding a horse, if holding right click while on a mount, they would deal a little bit less than an iron sword, however these can only be used while holding right click on a mount, otherwise its just held up and can not be used as a weapon. Factions that use these would be: Rohan, gondor, moredain, Near harad, and possibly elves. Lance riders could not be hired, lances could only be used by a player, on a mount, the reason they couldnt be hired is because they would be too overpowered, I can imagine a rohirim running all around you and hitting you a million times with his lance, these would however be a fun weapon to use. They would be crafted like spears except straight on the crafting table. I think these would make battle really different and awesome.
