This suggestion will center around more, lore-based elite units for various factions. All of these are  either canon or have some basis in canon.

1. Guards of Celeborn (Galadhrim): These elites guard the Hall of Celeborn in Caras Galadhon. THey wear Galadhrim Guard armor, which is white robes and grey armor, and use longspears and bows in battle. They will spawn in Caras Galadhon but nowhere else. They will be hireable.

2. Noldor Warriors (Lindon): These beasts have 35 HP and can butcher almost any foe. They use Noldorin Longswords (look like Gondolinian Swords) in battle, and wear Noldorin armor (uncraftable) which looks like silver and blue High Elven armor. They never spawn except in invasions, but are hireable.

3. King's Company of Rohan: Wear Marshall armor ans use Edoras swords (Uncraftable, green-hilted and jewelled) and Rohan spears. Only hireable, but will spawn in Edoras.

4. Helmingas (Rohan): The Helmingas spawn in the Westfold area. They wear Rohan armor without helmets and use axes and bows (they switch between the two).

5. Guards of the Orthanc (Isengard): These soldiers wear Uruk-Hai armor, but they are human. They use pikes in combat. They spawn in Nan Curunir, but not invasions. They are hireable.

6.  Dunlending Horsemen (Dunland): Mounted Dunlending warriors. They have normal spawning.

7. Serpent Guard (Near Haradrim): Heavy mounted Haradrim. Spawn in Harondor and invasions, and are hireable. They wear Serpent Armor, which is golden Haradrim armor with Arab-style helmet and red robes and cape.

8. Men of Carn Dum (Angmar): These guys only spawn in invasions and Angmar. They are Hillmen in heavy armor (maybe Morgul or a new Angmar armor?), and use various Angmar weapons.

9. Citadel Guard (Gondor): This is more to modify them then add a new unit. They should wear Citadel Armor (uncraftable), which is black robes and mithril helmet, and use Tower Guard Swords, not endless javelins. They should be absolute beasts, and only be hireable and, when it is added, be found in Minas Tirith. Normal Gondor soldiers should spawn on beacon towers now.

10. Woodland Guard (Woodland Realm): These soldiers use Longspears and bows in battle, and wear Woodland Guard armor. This is made by surrounding Wood-Elven armor with bronze, and it looks like a Wood-Elven armor with bronze scale armor. They are  hireable, but only spawn in the Woodland Realm Hills.

11. Azaghal's Guard (Ered Luin): Named in memory of the King, these soldiers use battleaxes and mattocks in battle. They wear gilded masks in battle, are fire-resistant (permentant effect), and terifying. Their gilded armor is uncraftable, but a full set will give a fire resitstance effect. They do not spawn naturally, but can be hired.

12. Warriors of the Iron Hills (Durin's Folk): The best of the best, the warriors of Dain use mattocks in battle. Their armor is chainmail and plate, and uncraftable. These are the best that Durin's Folk have to offer, and demons on the field of battle. They spawn normally, but are very rare.

13. Guards of Erebor (Durin's Folk): These soldiers wield axes and swords in battle. They wear Gold and Silver Trimmed Dwarven Armor. They are only found in Erebor, and are hireable, but not found in invasions.

14. Khamul's Guard (Dol Guldur): Easterlings in the service of Dol Guldur, these evil men use warscythes and bows in battle. They wear a new armor, and are very well-trained and powerful soldiers.

15. Bounders (Hobbits): These militiamen are tasked with defending the broders of the Shire. They wield bows, sticks, iron axes, slings, and daggers. They replace the Shirris, because in the books there were only 12 shirrifs.

16. Grey Company (Rangers): And last, the elite of the Northern Dunedain. They use bows, iron pikes, and swords in battle, but cannon hide. They wear chainmail and helms under grey cloaks, and are supremely powerful, especially when mounted. They are very rare. Alternatvely, all Rangers of the North could wear that armor and be OP, but also super rare. I prefer the sceodn method, because it has more basis in lore. For more info, see here.

Thank you for reading my suggestion. As always, comments, Kudos, and constructive critiscism is welcome.
