Have you tried the things on this article?

That was superb! Great job

Weren't they the elite group that Beregond and Pippin were in? Answerable to the steward only and defended the top level of Minas Tirith.

Typing into google, I found a page with this quote:

"....The Citadel Guards carried the weapons of the regular soldier - sword and spear - but like the Fountain Guard they had no shield....The Citadel Guards wore the same outfit as ordinary Gondorian soldiers, but this was enhanced with a gold-edged black tunic worn under the cuirass and a black cloak with gold embroidery; these would have indicated to all their elevated position within the military structure, as would their helmet, which featured a bronze star device on their noseguard and the brass wings that had been riveted on their sides...."

(Page 160-161, LOTR: Weapons and Warfare)

If they are close to what is described here, then they'd probably be pretty good swordsmen (unless someone coded in a toggle between spear and sword, but I don't understand why they'd do that anyway) but I'd have thought that they'd fit in the "elite" section.

Got in just before me. If you want a little more information, then look at the S.E.E. Beta 4.7 - delay? thread. I think that (thanks to a couple of people), some of the big problems have been fixed - namely that they can run it as a .BIG file and have managed to get the Evil men fortress into the game.

UPDATE!
The map itself (The Battle of Five Armies) is now available for download on T3A! I'll include a download full of screenshots as well as soon as I can, for the cautious check-before-you-download downloader
Enjoy!

Curses - was starting to play it but my PC cannot take the amount of units (was at about 4 frames a second on very low graphic settings ). Still, looking at the graphs at the end game screen, just shows what I am missing - that is a huge force of goblins!

One thing though - is the bridge thing at the top-centre of the map there so that units (in your readme, Bilbo) can cross the river? Because something around there prevents units from either getting to it.

Oh, and MS - sorry if I am one of the Noobish people you refered to.
