Since last August, I've had Cirdan tucked away in the back of my mind, but could never figure out how to add him without giving another powerful hero to the Elves. A couple weeks ago, I finally figured out how.
Cirdan can be purchased from the Citadel. Though he is a powerful melee hero, he cannot move outside of the Castle/Camp/Outpost's radius. This fits in with how Cirdan faithfully protected the path to the Undying Lands. He cannot be selected and has no special abilities; as such, he is more of an upgrade to the Elven defenses than an actual hero unit.
I've locked off the original four Elven units and have given Elrond, Galadriel, and Legolas some more model/skin stuff.
Note that the model for the Spearman and Rider shields are done by Vapula, though the skins and mapping are now all mine. For logic's sake, I gave Elrond a heavy armour upgrade which gives him his armour from the Second Age. However, I've changed the colour scheme to fit with the fading season of the Elves during the Third Age. All in all though, it's still EA's creation for the most part (I did, however, add the proper chainmail to his arms). Galadriel has been given a secondary skin (it'll work just like Elrond and Arwen's random textures) based off her Grey Haven's cloak ensemble. I've changed the cloak to a shawl for animation purposes.
As a final note, I will be moving The Elven Alliance over to The3rdAge hosting in the near future. This is not a hit at gamemod in the least. As I am a staff member at T3A, it only makes sense for me to have my site there. See you on the other side!
