Poll Question: Swordbearer
Am I the only one who think that Swordbearer doesn't look like champion unit? He looks like an elite... maybe.
Do you like them to be champions?

SB at the very least could use a better name.
Sword-bearer does not sound particularly inspired.

I agree with this, but I think that they are very cool Champions and Haven really needed some different units. Yes, they are not particularly original(but hey, neither are Angels and the difference is that Angels are really overused), but it brings nostalgia back from H2 where they had Crusaders/Paladins as Champions and I quite like that.
@Avonu
I didn't see that picture before(from that angle) and I must say Titan looks awesome, same goes for Swordbearer.

It's fine and is something new, at least in the Ashan universe. Having 2 Champions is my fav change in H7 so far.

I like the unit, I like what tier it is, and how it looks, I just think I'ts kind of out of place, as a brute super-human. This would fit into Stronghold Better IMHO
and he looks just to much like Slayers from ToE

They're not ok... they're awesome!
Seriously, so far the Swordbearer is the thing I like the most from H7. The idea of having such a brutal unit back in Haven is great. Of course, I agree the name is rather uninspired and some golden addition would be welcomed to differentiate more the upgraded from the basic (and I would have preferred a helmet which covered more their face), but anyhow they fit perfect the new lineup.

Dislike the whole concept, and the name is downright horrible.

They should get a better name, but the concept is good and fresh for Haven.

How about making him a "Templar" or "Hospitaller" instead, with similar look and feel? They aren't exactly Paladins, but like their reallife counterparts they were fighting machines - which seems to be the concept they're trying to put here. And while we're at it, what's wrong with having a unit like that use a mace or morning star instead of a sword?

I think they need to remake it into a H2 style Crusader.

Templar or Hositaller doesn't sound very grim like Haven is supposed to be in this episod. One of the insiders said they chose the Wolf Dutchy to represent the Haven, so for me, the swordbearer fits well there. It's ... just ... that ... name ...

In H6 there's already a class with that name and look, and I'd imagine to have it in H7 as well.
I think their design fits the Wolf duchy and their beastly theme.
