War of the Silmarils is a sub-mod of Third Age: Total War, the ever popular total conversion for Medieval II: Total War Kingdoms. The goal is to follow the lore as closely as possible and faithfully reproduce the heroic First Age of Tolkien's Middle-earth in the Medieval II: Total War engine. War of the Silmarils features many new unique factions, each complete with a roster of units, a completely new campaign map of Beleriand and the lands to the North, and much more. So if you're one of the many who have been enthralled by Tolkien's mystical world, this is a mod to watch!

Description
Feanorian Archers, same as House of Fingolfin.
No offense, but wouldn't a smaller shield be more appropriate for skirmishers?
They are not skirmishers. They are trained archers. 2nd tier unit. Basically swordsmen with bows.
Great skill do the Noldor have in the wielding of all devices of war. Only the Sindar or other wood-folk wield the bow with greater grace and skill than the Noldor, and yet the Noldor archers are feared greatly by their foes. With uncanny accuracy do their darts find their mark on their foes, every loosed volley harvesting many an orc. Although the archers of the Noldor are best used from afar, they wield blades, and bear sturdy mail and a shield, and will not shrink away from the line of battle. Alongside their brethren-at-arms will they fight, be it side by side, or by pummelling their foes with arrows.
