LOTR-TW is a Total Conversion for Alexander TW based on The Lord of the Rings trilogy, focused to recreate the epic battles seen in the movies. It has a complete Middle Earth map, fully customised cities like Minas Tirith and Helm's Deep on Battle and Campaign map, a set of Historical Battles where you can play all the major and minor battles that take place in the trilogy, and a quest line for the Free-People's campaign where, if the player succeeds, will take the Ring-Bearer from Hobbiton to the wasteland of Mordor in an attempt to save the world from its doom.
These new units will mostly make into 2.09 but some will on 2.1, 2.09 is coming soon as most of those units are done, and the new Roma Surrectum II enviroments are being tested
Noldor Swordguards, the offensive equivalent of Spearguards. They should complement the early Noldor army, before the return of High Noldor units
Are these coming in a new patch?
yep
I don't really like the fact that the helmets only cover the front of their head, though one might say that they are an offensive unit.
