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!

The Sindar Pikemen were warriors raised from the folk of Nargothrond and its holdings, levied into the service of Finrod Felagund and his hosts. With pike they were armed and they were trained in the art of the spear-wall and phalanx to create impenetrable barriers upon the field of battle.
The strength of these warriors is not their prowess in melee, but rather their ability to maintain a cohesive structure on the field of battle, to keep at bay the hordes of orcs and their mounts with their pikes.
In tight ranks do these warriors march, and they are well-disciplined and trained. These soldiers can hold the line so long as their rear and flanks are well guarded, but if the foe should fall upon them from all sides, their pikes are of little use.
