Your guards are more powerful than mine... I might have to boost up their MWE. >_>
Feel free to use them, I was looking at elves for ideas about Lothlorien units, and I saw the Mirkwood palace guard, and I realized that I needed them for my body guard.
The bear trappers, a bear could just swipe the points off the spears and then they are useless. And a ent could just stomp on them and crush them. Not the best unit I think.
I'd have to second that. As cool as it might be to have "undercover" units, it just won't work. Not only would it be hard to make a convincing Dwarf (or Man or Elf) out of a Goblin, but also the logistics of properly using such a unit in this RP simply don't exist.
Aw well.
What about the bear trappers? are they OK?
Tul Generas of the Orcs, Darthraxx of the dragon Knights. I RP, and have lots of fun.
At that point, worth doesn't even matter anymore, just how you use the units.
True, true, but the leader of an HQ gets certain rights, no?
Here is I'm pretty sure are the rights of an HQ leader:
1. their is the choice of troops. While most people don't restrict this, technically only the Leader can make units for the HQ. Personally, I believe that allowing every member to create their own units is best, as it allows them to match the HQ to their personal style and ingenuity, which is fairly realistic.
2. What troops go Where. This one is used more often, and I can see why. Essentially, the leader can decide which regions are most strategically valuable, though they will of course listen to their advisors (other members) arguments most of the time.
3. What troops are. I believe that technically the leader can choose what each army has, although as far as I know, only one leader restricts this. It's more often used in generic terms as reinforcements: "The Dimrill Dale is under attack, so you should take 2,000 MWE from the High Pass. You should probably take lots of shock troopers and seige weaponry, maybe with some archers as well." is the kind of thing most people do.
4. Battle numbers. Used the most often, it is similar to my second point. It decides how many troops each player gets within the HQ. This is used everywhere, as it is needed to not have too much MWE.

I can't say much about how well they'll actually work, but I don't see any reason why you couldn't use them.

Why? Other than the fact that you don't like them.
The Bear-Lance is essentially the same principle as a Boar-spear, and they could. . . and then lose all their momentum and die to the axes as the Uruks get close. Also, their is a thing called raising the lance. It may not be the best, but it does work if used properly.
See KK's post.
Than would the same thing work with trolls? Beside a bear could technically jump over your men.

Technically the HQ leader has absolute power over the HQ Including accepting or rejecting members. Though I have never seen some one rejected.

I unintentionally requested a detailed list. o_o My apologies, that was a sarcastic comment not meant to be taken literally.

k.
Most of the time, yes. If they're charging forward, then yes. My trolls not often, because I maintain a slow march with my own trolls most of the time, but otherwise yes. Might have more luck with Werewolves, but it would work. Also, a bear can't jump THAT high. And even then, they still have the axes.

Yeah, normally they're accepted and told that it may be a bit before troops can be assigned to them, and then they're quietly forgotten about.

If a bear is running quite fast towards your front lines and then jumps, he'll have a lot of momentum to go both forward and up. Besides, bears have powerful muscles, especially skinchangers bears.

Looks pretty good. Though the worth for your Guardsmen of Galdron seems a bit excessive. A handful of crossbow bolts could cost you hundreds of MWE, and there's really no point in having them cost that much (as I've said to others, once you pass about ten MWE and only use handfuls of them at a time, how they're used makes far more of a difference than what they're worth). Also, some details on them would be nice, such as their weaponry.
