Civilization stats[]

Tier 13: Dark Age: During the Third Age of Middle-Earth, Gondor has long since in a state of stagnation in their civilization without the line of kings to lead them. Made even worse with Denethor II leading Gondor around the end of the War of the Ring. They remained using just simple tools such as swords, bows and arrows, while they have constructed massive stone citadels that towered by the mountains.

Power Source[]

Energy Source: Paraphernalia

Magic: Communication (Through the use of Palantiri which can be used as form of communication between two or more stones, but unfortunately, it turned against Denethor which Sauron used it to break his will.)

Science: Construction (As Gondor was one of the mightiest of the kingdom of men, they constructed massive fortresses and have skilled engineering skills with strong ships and trebuchets.)

Nature: Human Physiology (Gondor is one of the many human kingdoms in Middle Earth)

Conquest stats[]

9-A: Large Country: at their height, Gondor ruled most of southern Middle Earth, which included the following Ithilien, Anorien, Lossarnach, Calenardhon, etc..

Troops: At their height they possessed one of the largest armies of all the human kingdoms.

Power stats[]

DC: Small Building: Trebuchets with their tossing power of large boulders for long distances. Wall: The charging power of charging cavalry. Street+: Aragorn tossed Gimli. Defeated many Uruk-hai and goblins. Being a career elite warrior, his physical strength should be comfortably above that of most humans. Street: Boromir and Faramir should be comparable or close to the skills of Aragorn. Street: Many Gondor soldiers should be comparable to standard soldiers (Tower Guard are likely higher).

Durability: Small Building: The standard durability of Trebuchets, with or without the crew to man it. Wall: The durability of a fully armored knight. Street+: Aragorn, Boromir and Faramir, higher than most normal humans. Street

Speed: Peak Human: Aragorn's fastest running pace, possibly Superhuman Attacks faster than most can react. Superhuman: The charging speed of Calvary. Athletic Human: The speed of charging Gondor Soldiers.

Strengths/Pros[]

Because they served as a shield for the free people of middle earth, Their forces have to be well disciplined and trained to their finest to hold off the relentless hordes of Mordor. They have multiple layers of defenses when experiencing invasion from Mordor which is comprised of Osgiliath, Cair Andros, and the Rammas Echor. During the Third Age, most of Minas Tirith's armies were trained and drilled to fight in tight infantry formations, supported by archers and cavalry. Their armaments consisted of a chainmail undercoat with either a black tabard or plate armor over it. Their standard weapons were long spears, longswords, and longbows, complimented by tower shields. Gondor's armies prevented Mordor and its allies from overwhelming the rest of Middle-earth. Gondor was in a very crucial position, in order to guard Middle Earth and because of Gondor's proximity to Mordor, its military forces had to be proficiently trained and vigilantly on guard at all times. Because of this, they were arguably the strongest country that opposed Sauron.

Weaknesses/Flaws[]

Because recent years of the War of the Ring caused low morale and weak leadership under Denethor which caused most of the army that once stood as symbols of defense against the forces of darkness to coward easily and which costed most of their forces in the recent battles.
