honestily. im fine if corsairs lightfootmen lifght calvary and light archers are there main army, im just asking if very rarely there can be some umbarian elites that spawn mainly hireable. like the Knight of numenor and Numenorean Lancer i suggested would be nice as a rare 1:20 spawn and be a hireable unit. i just love umbar honestily i know its not super strong. but for some reason it has always inspired me. :') i just want it to be a reasonable faction. i understand not everything i sugested will be added. but my back up arguement is even though lots of people are saying all these cool ideas about rhun and what to add. (see the massive rhun suggestion, suggestion) but i have no arguement with those although they are highly unrealistic. Loke-rim are lore friendiyl but were a very rare troop maybe 1:1000 of rhuns forces, the wain riders had light infantry and good chariots, variags had good horse archers nothing else. and most of rhun are just lone tribes that fight eachother. and most of rhuns inhabitants are fishermen and their main force is hordes of light infantry.

So if you add Knights Of Numenor, Numenorean Lancers, Haven Guard and Haven Rangers or something similar to those npcs. if you just add them as rare spawns or hireable units ill be happy. and if you add Umbarian Soldiers and Umbarian Archers as a Medium_Infantry equal to gondor. ill be happy. so maybe umbarian soldiers and archers have a 6:20 chances of spawning. the 4 elite units i listed above have a 2:20 and the corsairs have a 12:20 chances of spawning, ill be happy.

you guys are right they are mainly just pirates but i see them as a newer force trying to get a solid grip in the world but being attacked by gondor again and again, and they choose the only side they can, i see them as several city-states like greece commanded by a smaller central government they have large and powerful fleets, decent land forces in their main city states and light infantry in the weaker ones, i see Umbar city as a flourishing city rich and powerful with a large fleet and a medium sized elite force. i see the major city-states as coastal cities with large and powerful navies and medium sized medium infantry, i see the smaller city states inland where the majority of the umbarian people live and farm a living and large light militias keep control. i see umbar as a young united states in WOTR much like the old 13 colonies. i see umbar and gondor comparable to great britain trying to conquer america in the war of 1860(i think thats year) although in the end umbar is conquered, but who know maybe they will rise out of the ashes in the 5th age, this mod i think is meant for players to try to change the course of middle earth. i plan to change umbars destiny.
