There is a strange diversity among the gondor soldier skins, while they are actually supposed to look the same. I made a little research, and found out that it has to do with the spearman model being different from the common soldier model.

This is my suggestion
- replace current archer, soldier, knight (same as soldier ), spearman and trebuchet crew skins with my versions
- change all of their models to the current gondor spearman model (better mapping and more human-like)...the weapons aren't even part of the skn file, so it'll just be replacing work

Pros
- all soldier units will have the same armour type
- variation will come from their different faces (included in my skins)
- we get rid of the ugly polygon head that all gondor units have atm
- no more golden gondorians, as my skins add chainmail when heavy armour is equipped

Here are my skins

Why polygons are uglier than proper spearman heads:

yeah! no more gold!!. i assume the thats heavy armor pic?

[Caluadan]

that is not heavy armour pic
the heavy armoured guys have chainmail where these ones wear black clothing.

[Devon]

oh that might be kinda hard to see in batlle, but ok

[Allathar]

When fighting against them, isn't it hard to see whether they got heavy armour or not?

[Caluadan]

I didn't think so when I tested it...
my chain mail has the same colour as their armour (not as dark as RJ's) so it's not rly hard to see

How do you add these skins to your own RJ? Or were they already implemented in version 1.06?
