Rohan unit mod???

[yujote]

ive seen the gondor units mod, but i idnt see a rohan one! without rohan, gondor would be nothing
I think there should be new units for rohan, like cavalry that can dissmount (probably impossible) and cavalry that can switch between archer mode and cavalry mode. ( I know this can be achived by usinf the alt key but ii want them to be able to use spears while charging)

I also think Rohan should have less infantry, and more cavalry. the infantry takes a few dozen turns to upgrade, but the cavalry requires alot more! isnt rohan based off of cavalry? the infantry should be light and heavy, with one or two in between. the infantry should have less movement points, deppending on the size of the army. so should cavalry..

I dont use infantry with rohan, unless i despreat;ey need units fast. i usualy just send hordes of units from Edoras of Hornburg... once more streessing the need for faster cavalry recruitment.

I think people shud put as much effort into rohan as they do into gondor,,,

Rohan has a pretty good roster as it is. And Rohan's army was actually based of infantry, it's just the movies that make it seem the other way.

[Hero of the West]

you can scratch the probably before impossible

[ReSirio]

Also because Rohan now has all the existing types of horse, what else can give them?

Like it or not, Gondor is the fan favorite.

no it isn't. Rohan is the best.

Heh, not a fan of Gondor myself. I personally can't stand the whole fighting the same battle repeatedly routine with Mordor that they have going on but, it's hard to deny that it's a lot of people's favorite faction.

I'm an avid user of cavalry and still haven't been able to get very far in a Rohan campaign. It wouldn't be so unbearable if they had better sounds and faces. I'm spoiled by Dale & Eriador units.

then y is there a mod with dozens of gondor units and NONE for Rohan... yup gondor is loved by the fans, but the versitility of rohan cavalry beats all...

[NickTheGreek3]

Rohan is better than Gondor? Rohan needs more submods? Stronger infantry?

Well, obviously the answer is...

Hope this will make Rohan players feel better about themselves...

The Ride of the Rohirrim

www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXFHu5ukko8 Gondor can't defend inside a citadel while the Rohirrim can beat an army 50 times bigger than their own on the open field. Talk about awesomeness!

[Taro_M]

Myabe you should look at Lord of the Rings: Total War for some good ideas for new Rohan units. I for one like Free Riders, they would be an interesting merc unit.

[HerzoG]

Gondor is THE kingdom of men, the Rohirrim are just some Medieval guys living in it's north cause they helped Gondor in a war ages ago.

Rohan doesnt need more troops, but Gondor does !!!
(and yer i already use Taro's submod ;-D)

You got to be ing kidding me! More units than Taro's? The dude has added about 15-25 more units to Gondor roster! I have modded the export_descr_buildings file to smaller the number of available units to only the ones I needed. They were too many! His work is great, though.

[AragornElessar]

Yes the Faithful own! Arnor and Gondor FOREVER. but Seriously Arnor needs more units more then rohan. As now when you change to Arnor most of your units get 1 more to armor and thats all... and you loose the Battle Ready Dunedain

[Taro_M]

I agree! Gondor needs even MOAR UNITS!

Seriously though, I think you should at least create concepts for new Rohan units, so some who would like to create does will have ready ideas to work with.

And you forget that it's Gondor which fights vs Mordor, Rohan just fought vs Isengard, what actually is something like Italy in the second WW. Germany was the big evil enemy and Italy something little in it's south. Rohan has just 1 front to defend, Gondor had more than 4 (eamples: Pelargir, Minas Tirith/Osgiliath, Fords of Anduin and Cair Andros)

And just for ur information, it wasnt Rohan who won the battle on the Pellenor, it was the army of death(btw, also guys from Gondor). Rohan got pwned by some Mumakils and wasnt able to do anything ! :-P

not true; rohan was attacked several times by the orcs from Dol Guldur (eastern provinces of Rohan), raiding parties from Misty Mountains and attacks by Dunlending people... Also to compare Isengard with Italy is not good. Isengard had great army (in terms of equipment) and steel discipline (something that italians lacked in both WWs - apology to all fro italy; no offense meant)...

And just for ur information, it wasnt Rohan who won the battle on the Pellenor, it was the army of death(btw, also guys from Gondor). Rohan got pwned by some Mumakils and wasnt able to do anything ! :-P

victory on pelennor fields was achieved due to the combination of all those factors... you can't say that the army of dead would even whitout the help of 10 000 rohirrim either, so all those components together brought victory to men of the west.

[HerzoG]

sure i can :-D
The army of death didnt even lost one man during the fight, cause all of them already were dead.
Dol Guldur was destroyed 50 years before the ring war started, even if some orcs already lived there again, they werent enough to be a real danger. Raiding parties from the misty mountains were stopped in fangorn or by the elves of lothlorien.
The only point in which i agree with you is Dunland. They attacked Rohan, but were no real 2nf front. They just reinforced Isendards armies a little bit.

But it didn't kill many either, it just scared the out of them. The Rohirrim did all the killing. And FYI, AotD never fought on Pelennor Fields in the books.

Sauron sended some major army's to Lorien and Woodland Realm that he had in Dol Guldur, arround the time of the battle at the black gates, an alliance between elves and dwarves destroyed Dol Guldur as far as i know.
