Since the Fiefdom Update (in all it's glory!) has arrived, I've found myself exploring Gondor and the wonders of each fiefdom. Each fiefdom has unique troops that do their native land justice: The Axemen of Lossarnach, the Bowmen of Blackroot, and more. This holds true for everywhere except Lebennin. Now, you are probably saying "But Pelargir has Marines, and it's the capitol of Lebennin"; and this is true. But thats only a very small portion of Lebennin, and the rest of Gondor's most populous and commercialy productive fiefdom only gets levymen as their unique unit. Also, even Pelargir doesn't have a ranged unit in it's roster at all. So in order to spice up Lebennin's roster, I make a case for a Lebennin Spearman.



Essentially, this would be a more easily recruitable Tower Guardsman with less armour. Lebennin Spearmen would primarily throw spears in a ranged attack, while also using the weapons for close defence. They would be armoured with a Lebennin Gambeson, and the Helm, Boots, and Leggings of the Gondor set (See Image). They would be hireable from Pelargir Commanders and Lebennin Levymasters. In the case of the latter, it could replace the currently available Gondor Soldier, or Archer.

I am suggesting a javelin unit both for the reasons above, and for a few others as well. One being Lebennin, with a good amount of coastline to defend against Corsairs, would need a versatile, yet easily massable unit. Also, javelins were a staple of ancient Naval warfare, and as the home of Gondor's Navy, Pelargir would naturally need javelin-throwers with which to crew ships.

Thanks for your time, feedback is always welcome!
