I believe is a misunderstood faction and im worried that when they are added it will be a mess.

1. Umbarians were not all pirate: they had some corsair-mercanaries on the northern coast but umbars real military was a decent size and very strong. here are a few suggestions

Factions:

Umbar

Subfactions:

Corsairs

Umbarian Armor: would be similar to DA armour but with no wings, and purple and silver. it would be as good as DA armor. and be crafted with iron and bronze ingots in a checkered pattern on a umbarian crafting table

Umbarian Elite Armor:

Crafted with silver and gold in a checkered pattern in a umbarian crafting table. would give half a armor slot of more protection than umbarian armour. it would look like Umbarian armor but instead of silver and purple its gold and purple

Umbarian Crown: worn by Umbarian Generals

Corsair Armor: this is the armour the corsairs would wear. much like gundabad uruk and warg armor, it would have the protection of gondorian armor and be crafted with iron on a umbar crafting table

Weapons: all crafted on umbarian CT with bronze

Umbarian Pike

Corsair Dagger: with bronzew

Umbarian Sword

Umbarian Dagger

Umbarian: Crossbow: can be loaded as fast as a high elven bow. it is imbetween the strength of iron and a uruk bow

Corsair Bow

Umbarian War Blade: a double blade sword with 1 blade up 1 blade down and a handle in the middle similar to high elven battlestaffs but a sword. it would be very fast and deal damage inbetween a pike and dagger

Ships: not sure how these would be crafted, maybe on a special seige weapon/ship crafting table

Corsair Ship: a rugged but worthy ship that is mounted with 1 ballista and can carry 4 corsairs

Umbarian Battleship: The gem of the umbarian fleet, large but with 4 mounted ballista and can carry 12 umbarians or players

Umbarian Assault Ship: a medium sized ship with 2 mounted ballista and can carry 6 corsairs

Umbarian Rowboat: small ship that can carry 6 umbarians used for going to shore

Umbarian: Carrier/Transport: Can carry 24 umbarians and 4 rowboats

Seige Weapons: these are some of what makes umbar so effective. they use a tactice were they shoot mounted ballista off their ships armed with explosive bolts from a distance to destroy enemy navies

Ballista: a medium seige weapon capable of fireing explosive fire or regular Ballista Bolts

Catapult: it launches stone blocks capable of destroying 4 blocks with the strength of faction brick

Ballista Bolts: bolts crafted by 2 crossbow bolts and a peice of iron in a horizantal fasion. you can make them fire or explosive bolts by either using lava or gunpowder insteado the the iron

Structures:

Umbarian Watchtower

Umbarian Castle

Umbarian Port

Umbarian House

Corsair Shack

Corsair fort

NPCs:

Corsair Archer: corsair pirate armed with corsair armour and a corsair bow they would have 20 health

Corsair: corsair pirate with a corsair dagger or umbarian sword, would have 20 health.

Umbarian General: you can hire umbarian troops from him

Umbarian Soldier: would be equipped with umbarian armour and either a sword or pike, would have 20-25 health to who varied bloodlines

Umbarian CrossBower: would be equipped wil umbarian crossbow and umbarian armor  20-25 health to show varying bloodlines

Warrior of Numenor: would be equipped with royal numenorean armor and either a Umbarian warblade of pike they would have 30 health. these are the Numenoreans and Dark Numenoreans Pure Bloods handpicked by the emperor.

Umbarian Cataphracts: would be equipped with a Umbarian pike and royal umbarian armor they would have 30 health.

Umbarian Calvary: A umbarian soldier on a horse.

Note: only corsairs would invade Gondor and DA and very occasionally Umbar would Invade DA

This is all lore friendily for several reasons.

1: not all is mentioned in the books but it doesnt go against lore

2: Umbar was known for its numenorean and dark numenorean blood in it. it have probaly quite a few pure numenoreans and dark numenoreans. They were also great Ship builders and Smiths. There wealth was similar to venice.

3. Umbarians were not Corsairs, corsairs were mercanaries on some settlements on the coast Patrick.Vtap and DD2 would agree with me on this

Constructive critiscism is encouraged. have a great day
