this suggestion is about the woodmen of mirkwood. they would live in woodmen clearings in mirkwood(northern and corrupted). as they live in the dense forest of mirkwood they don't have any mounted units. instead they have large hounds(similar in shape as the irish wolf dogs) on the size of ponies.

npc’s

woodmen:the common woodmen carry any type of iron or bronze.

woodmen huntsmen:carry woodmen armour, weapons and shield they will go ranger style(they will charge while camouflaged)when an enemy is within seit.

woodmen tracker:carry woodmen armour and bow can also go ranger style.

woodmen guardsmen:elite woodmen melee unit carry woodmen guard armour and weapons.

woodmen marksmen:elite woodmen range unit carry woodmen guard armour and bow.

mirk hound:pony sized hound that look like an irish wolf dog.

woodmen chieftain:from him you can hire woodmen.

Structures

architecture:a single fire lights it up. if it is a large hall there is torches placed on the pillars(wooden beams) holding the roof. forts would be small and made of wood(rarely a stone fundament) but no spider would ever be able to climb the walls. their farms are surrounded with a 3-4 block high palisade that is made out of beams.

Items

all of their own iron weapons are rather dull in color(dark grey-black).

weapons:they would have the same weapons as the rohirrim(but no lances). the bow would be faster and do a little more damage then the bows of rohan. the axe is one sided. the sword is a little longer than a vanilla sword, it's crossguard is straight and the hilt is covered in black leather.

special weapons:they would also have longspears and long axes(it have the reach of a spear and the damage of an axe. it is one sided).

woodmen armour:a fur/leather armour made in the old rohiric recipe(leather takes the place of iron and fur the old place of leather)it’s stats is a little better than the ranger armour(more durability).see pic below

guard armour:made out of iron. this is chainmail armour with a helmet like that of the dunlendings. the chest and stomach is also covered in a dark green cloth.

banner: the banner is a red running wolf/dog on a dark green background.

that should be it. hope you do like the idea or most of it(btw could someone make poll about if the hounds should be ride able).
