Before we begin, yes, I know that we arent supposed to suggest a bunch of new features and weapons for the Khaganate. This is just a suggestion for making them appear more like they did in he films.

Weapons:

I think that the Easterlings in beta 31 should be more uniform and not have much varient. The movie Easterlings (which these are) are identical in every way, except maybe in height. They all have the same weapon and costumes. My suggestion is that the ones in the mod do too.

They would be similar to elves and rangers in that they change between weapons. Archers would still be the only ones with bows, but the normal soldiers would be able to change between their pikes and swords. The weapon that is normally in their hand would be the pike/halberd, but if an enemy gets close to them they would switch to their sword or other close range weapon. Then when the enemy is far enough they would switch back to their halberd/pike. This way they all carry the pikes like in the films (except archers of course, who only carry bows).

Skins: I saw in the photos of the Khaganate Houses that the Easterlings have at least 2 skin varients, one with short sleeves and one that looks more like robes, with a covering on the face. The pictures seem to show that the soldiers can have either of these skins. I think that the soldiers should only have the second skin, with robes and black face covering. The civilians should have varients, not the soldiers. The movie easterlings, which these are, were pretty much identical, and had a black cloth face covering under their helmets, and long sleeve, robe like clothes, like the second skin.

Haradrim soldiers are identical, even tho Near Harad would be the more 'Non-matching" faction. This would also make Easterlings appear more organized, like they were in the films. Just a thought.
