Citadel Guards

The Citadel Guards (otherwise known as the Tower Guards) serve as the main elite pikemen infantry for Gondor as well as the Men of the West army. The Tower Guards are adept at eliminating heroes and trolls. When paired with Rangers, these troops become powerhouses in the game.

Lore

Tower Guards are the Men of the West's elite anti-calvary. Only the finest Soldiers are ever promoted into their ranks. Although they are more expensive to train than Soldiers, the benefits of their superior attack and defensive prowess more than offsets the additional resources spent on them.
