Tough dwarf anti cavalry unit. Wearing a spiked helmet (pickelhaube) and wield an enemoure halberdier. One theory says that the spike on a pickelhaube purpose is to deflect saber attack from upward so this unit will have a very high normal armor and tough against cavalry charge.

Short body of the dwarf=it's easier for cavalry to strike from upward. it's easier for cavalry to strike from upward + pickelhaube=hard to kill.

Good idea besides dwarfs need an anti-cavarly unit

So you mean like just about any other dwarf infantry? I think dwarves won't be all that short when it comes to armor

Bro your puns keep stacking

will you make some stats ?
if not
I can upload some stats and images that I have made

You must have hit him with archers!

Hit with archers what ?

Do we still need this unit ? We have Chunook

I would really like to see it being added.

Maybe not "royal" but mithril halberdier?

Yes royal sounds human and we need a DWARF !!!

Mithril billman?

No, not billman. We need to keep "billman" part for its upgrades if there will be any. Why not just Mithril Guardian?

No it must sound more something

Also his name the world "mithril" is not necessary lol

I like it

I want mithril because i want a mithril elite units pack.
Like for elves sentinel pack, for humans imperial, for orcs uruk and for undeads phantoms.

Names don't have to be same as their normal variants. For example Imperial Shielder and Swordsman

How about Mithiril Phalanxs, like in Lord of the rings BFME2? I did look it up to make sure that wasn't the only reference.

We can have a whole Elites of Mithril units.

there is a plan of 'em in my list already. but first we need their blacksmith techs ingame!

Can you make the list, I did want to see it.

in general i want to add: pike-like unit, shielded unit, with mace one. everyone will be melee only (pike-like will get reach upgrade) and no ranged (mithril is pretty heavy metal and it is hard to use it for a ranged unit's armor because they need more free armor)

also no cavalry.

About stats and names i am thinking and i am open for name suggestions.

Sounds good.

Ya I guess they don't need ranged mithiril guard considering how the sharpshooter basically fulfilled that role as a ranged elite unit.Here's without having to be a mouthful guard himself.

halberdiers are implemented
