How to recruit Nazgul and Black Numenorians?

**WitchKing** · May 07, 2009, 08:31 AM

Is it possible to recruit those 2 units in this 1.0 version? I havent any idea what kind of building I need in order to recruit dismounted Nazgul and Numenorians. I would be a real pity those units arent recruitable in this version

the nazgul are 9 only and they are generals not troops.
the numenorians are very few and they are a elite troops.

you can't recruit them. they are spawned automatically

Every 50 turns as Mordor.

**Ragnarök** · May 07, 2009, 09:49 AM

Well,if you use submod with new units you will be able to hire Dismounted Black Numenorians

Do you get a Nazgul or just a unit of Numenorians?

How exactly did they manage to give the Nazgul separate stats from the Numenorians? Didn't think that was possible.

In any case, the Nazgul themselves are beastly. Something like 8-10 HP, 18 attack and a bunch of defense.

When I assaulted Dol Guldur with the Silvan Elves, the Nazgul went straight for Thranduil and killed him in single combat

I took Dol Guldur in two attacks: A giant ambush near this stronghold, I win the battle but Legolas was killed by the nazgul and numenorians. The nazgul retreated in the fortress but I besieged it 3 turns, crafting woodden towers, and waiting for my new battle chief.
By night, my spy helped my assault being a surprise : My archers went on the walls, and that was Dien-Bien-Phu for the nazgul, prisonner on his horse by his walls, soften by so many arrows, and killed by my newby lancers. The nazgul had 13 HP (said my spy before the battle).

Yep I just had a unit of archers engage the Black Numenoreans and another unit shot them from the back point-blank. Took a few volleys to kill off the bodyguard and another couple to drop the Nazgul, I lost maybe 5 archers to friendly fire and 10 in HtH.

Best wishes,
Daniel.

Actually, there is a nazgul unit.. and a dismounted numenorean unit too.. check your EDU

you just can't recruit the in the campaign and are unavaible in custom battles..

**trance** · May 07, 2009, 11:00 AM

I took Minas Morgul from a nazgul. The Nazgûl and his bodyguard obliterated Denethor's bodyguard but Denethor himself proved to be too much for the poor Nazgûl and was killed by him in single combat as well. But not before the Nazgûl and Black Númenórians hade managed to kill about 300 militia archers and a unit of cavalry militia. Nasty butcher!

How do people find the stats of characters? I can only ever get their bodyguards...

**Krechet(SiCh)** · May 07, 2009, 11:17 AM

Kolaris8472: Easely. Commander (and officers like banner-carrier) is separate units. You could give them any stats you wwant

**tlatoani** · May 11, 2009, 12:44 AM

well you can unlock in EDU file nazgul cavalry and dismounted nazguls for custom battles

About Nazgul dying of old age try this mod: http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=260218
Also about the loyalty if you go into the export_descr_character_traits.txt file and find the Nazgul trait you could change the +3 loyalty to a higher figure like +8 giving it more loyalty from the start....
