Lone Wolf Updates » Rohan 3.0

Posted May 22, 2013. By Radspakr | View Comments

I've made some changes to Rohan's heroes to better streamline things.

This is pretty much the third hero change since LWR started.

Work is already under way on these changes and most have already been coded in.

Dunhere will no longer be buildable via the Eastfold spell unlock instead he's getting moved but more on that later.

Theodred is also being killed once more and will no longer be a regular hero he'll stay in the code maybe for maps.

This removes one hero each from the Westfold and Eastfold spells.

I also updated some of the hero roles and purposes.

Helm - Early hero summon/creep hunter

Eowyn - Early hero,creep/monster hunter

Hama - Early game melee hero

Gamling - Early game, ranged hero

Grimbold - Tank/support

Elfhelm - Undecided

Eomer - Mid game support

Erkenbrand - Support

Theoden - Late game support.

Hama, Gamling, Elfhelm and Grimbold no longer start with mount instead gaining it at level 4.

Eomer, Theoden, Erkenbrand, Hama, Gamling, Elfhelm and Grimbold will all get new skills.

Hama

Level 1 - Weapon Toggle - toggles between Sword and Sword and Shield - He is slightly slower and more armoured when shielded.

Level 3 - True Sight - grants a vision boost to nearby troops

Level 6 - True Strike - Melee attack.

Level 4 - Mount

Gamling

Level 3 - Spear Throw

Level 5 - Fearless Charge - Eomer gains crush decel buff, armour and speed buff.

Level 8 - Ride for Ruin - Stuns nearby enemies (kind of like a cross between horn and elendil)

Mount

Level 1 - Reactive Defence - When attacked Grimbold has a chance to gain a short burst of defence.
Level 5 - Captain of the Westfold - Provides an armour bonus to nearby Westfold Shieldbearers

Level 4 - Mount

Level 5 - Marshal of the Eastmark - Provides a damage buff to nearby Footmen and Door Wardens

Level 7 - Valiant Defenders - Elfhelm and nearby Footmen,Westfold Shields and Bowmen gain fear immunity and armour at the cost of speed.

Level 4 - Mount

Level 3 - Lord of the Westfold - leadership - Provides 60% armour,+150% attack,fear resist and kb resistance

Level 5 - Red Shield Defence - Erkenbrand gains a short defence boost (renamed Red Shield)

Level 7 - Westfold Guard - Summons a horde of Westfold Shieldbearers

Level 4 - Glorious Charge

Level 6 - King's Favour - grants targeted units experience.

Valour of the Rohirrim - Channeling skill that summons heroes over time and makes Theoden immune to damage during it's duration.

Valour of the Rohirrim Notes:

Summons 4 heroes over time that each are different.

Guthlaf - Theoden's herald - Provides fear immunity and extra experience gain for nearby units.
Horn - Defensive fighter tough to take down.
Harding - Strong fighter can do good amount of damage.
Dunhere - Fighter skilled at disabling enemies.

Another change is some of the heroes will be changing animations and in some cases getting some touch ups on their skins.

All these changes will be Public Beta 0.1
