    Enjoy a Rhovanion unit cards preview




    The Northmen of Rhovanion is the foremost cavalry nation in the war, but can muster keen archers and sturdy footsoldiers as well.
    With the might of the Rhûn Confederacy on the move, and Mordor just to the south, this strength will prove useful in the fell days to come...


    In order of apperance:
    Warda Spearmen
    Freiswair Warriors
    Riggswair Companions
    Harjis Spearmen
    Harjis Swordsmen
    Gafaúrd Housecarls

    Baúrgs Bowmen
    Daurawarda Longbowmen
    Harjis Longbowmen

    Mahr Scouts
    Marh Archers
    Marhdrauht Lancers
    Marhdrauht Archers
    Fraujam Knights



    Credits:
    These are the unit cards by Araval and adicional by misteed [Warda Spearmen, Freiswair Warriors, Baúrgs Bowmen, Daurawarda Longbowmen].
    Fraujam Knights is from TATW and Mahr Scouts a version thereof.

    Hello

    The proper answer is "unknown", as atthias points at; we never get any census. Tolkien generally don't care about numbers, hehe.
    To draw any conclusions from The Hobbit is hard. The Longbeards were in dispersal, only parts lived in the Iron Hills and possibly the army from the Iron Hills in The Hobbit was an Expeditionary Force rather than the full host of even the Iron Hills.
    The Dwarven race at the Last Alliance at any rate had not suffered the many calamities that befell them during the Third Age [the Balrog and dragon attacks is still in the future], nor would the populations had dwindled as much (as the Dwarven population do because of their lack of females), so the most proper answer I could give on their numbers is "plentiful".

    The fact that I am checking twice a day for release says enough about how exited I am for this mod. Just a few questions?
    1. How long will the lifespan of generals be with the Númenóreans and Dwarves?
    2. This is going to be a bit Peter Jackson like but will we have Legolas?

    Can't you turn Galadriel intro a flagbearer or something in Celeborn his bodyguard. I like the idea of having 2 family tree's for Lindon but can't you turn Elrond and Gil-Gilad -into far cousins or something?

    Hi, afraid to tell you there'll be some months still, but thanks for the interest

    1. It's not possible to give different factions different life-spans.
    IIRC we kept TATW's settings, where generals starts to die at around 120 of old age. A general who matures thus will risk to die of age after 416 turns.

    2. No, while he was old compaired to the rest of the Fellowship, there's no indication he was yet born at this time, so he's not in the game.

    3. Galadriel is a general of her own; as seen here and here.

    4. Ah yes, we had the dual family trees until just a few weeks ago actually, but it was then decided to return to a single one, to make things less complicated:
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 


    In the latest version of the tree, Fingolfin has his wife Anaire in the tree as well.
    OP updated.
    Arandir Tur-Anion will when we released offer a version of the Eldar family tree where all known members are listed (quite huge, hehe).

    Happy to, we will!

    Good thought; if someone has/aquire the skill to make strat map models of units, to make generals & captains, that's something we're currently lacking in the team, so feel welcome to contact us

    Hi guys!

    Just wanted to say that you are doing an amazing job with this mod! I literally visit the forum thread and the page on Moddb several times a day hoping for another update. Keep up the great work!

    (Secretly hoping for some piece of news in a response, haha )

    Hello CactusBack,

    an honour for the team, to have your first post and such encouraging words

    Well, let's make a little exception and share a news yet not publicly shared, hehe.
    I don't know if you're familiar with the "barbarian village" from EB2? We use it in DCI:LA too, for the factions Wild Men of Enedwaith and Hill-men of the North and akin rebels.

    The village is situated below a hill [as seen in screen shot below]. This make sense as people like to have shelter from winds, but it is a problem if you're attacked.
    As many players found out, if you attacked, archers could step up the hill and rain down missiles on the defenders, who held the square, situated around the well in the middle of the village.
    DCI have now updated the settlement, so the square is moved to the hill instead, by Withwnar, with their values in chests etc drawn up there, by xHolyCrusader.

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

    Because, as soon as the villager militia and garrison got news of an approaching enemy, what would they do? Run to the hills, of course! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZlDZPYzfm4
    It offers best possible natural defense for them, and chosing where to fight can make all the difference.
    Houses may be rebuilt - but a dead man can build no houses.

    Some work-in-progress shots, by xHoly;

    Wow, I didn't really expect any news realistically, much less such a detailed update with several screenshots.

    Thank you for the response, Ngugi. This feature sounds really cool and adds a lot of realism to the battles in such situations.

    It's Easter, so call it an Easter egg ^^

    You're welcome; and it indeed feels better, whether you curse on the defenders who holds the hill, or fire down at attackers trying to take your village from you, haha
