Are you playing on max settings?Merlkir said:
Damn, my PC is 9-year old. I have only 128 Mb video, RAM 512 and 1.7 ghz. I hope I'll be able to play on minimum settings. I did play PoP 3 (for M&B) smoothly even though 50%+ of its' models didn't have any LODs at all.

There are no "Easterlings" as a faction in TLD.
Our Easterlings are comprised of separate forces of Rhun and forces of Khand.
Rhun are modelled mainly as barbaric-type steppe nomads, with heavy gleaming armour only for top tier warriors and lords.
Khand are more asiatic in appearance even, generally quite heavily armoured, with very armoured cavalry as well.

Not that there aren't any easterlings at all. Men from Khand and Rhun are all Easterlings. You've seen the movies, you remember the spiky golden armours. They're not based on the books, we don't have them.
As long as they have axes, I still love them.

Anyway, we have both lightly and heavily armoured Easterlings.

Depends on your definition of "a lot".

During the War of the Ring itself, Easterlings are described as perhaps belonging to more than one culture, plus the Variags of Khand. One group is described as a "new" kind of Easterling that the men of Gondor had previously not encountered; fierce bearded men with axes.
The Easterlings from Rhûn were Men who lived in the east of Middle-earth, and were enemies of the Free Peoples. Their Kings and Queens were allies of Sauron. They were described as, broad, stout, dark haired and bearded like dwarves in the Tolkien Bestiary. They had dark toning of the iris-colors (Eye colors such as Green, Grey, Blue, and Brown) in their wide eyes, and black hair that was cut short on men and shoulder-length on women. <<< description of the ruhnic people
The Easterling culture was at a high level, and their smiths were almost as advanced as Gondorian smiths. Rhûn was one of the richest countries in Middle-earth and had mountains full of easily obtained copper, iron, and Gold with which they had access to vast resources of money and raw materials. The country's rich supplies of every kind of resource were enough to easily feed, clothe, and grant wealth to the nation's entire populace as well as granted Rhun's masterful smiths the time to make grandly exquisite armour and weapons of near unparalleled quality and effectiveness. Rhûnic armor was made from brass, along with the helmet; its dragon-skull-shape was made to intimidate enemies. <<< ruhn armor
