I think it would be more useful as a power...cause after they threw their spears they wouldn't have anything to fight with

what the Grey company gonna be about ?

for im using earthquake pretty often ( and it helped me from deep sh*t even more, when enemy turtles ), soo i hope its gonna be something DAMN strong

[Devon]

Read the books The Army of the Dead didn't go all the way to MT, only aragorn, lego, gimli, eladan, elrohir, and all the dunedain did. They were called the grey company cause they all had grey cloaks Earthquake doesn't fit gondor anyway...doesn't matter how useful it is

Hi there

The problem with Radagast being mounted on an eagle is that he can't use his Wizard powers anymore. As with Gandalf, he can still use his wizard powers when he's mounted on the horse. But I know that giving Radagast his powers would pose two probs, 1) he would probably be overpowered and 2) it would be difficult to do the designs...how would it work- would the Eagle swoop in when Radagast does the Wizard Blast??

Sooo, I'll let you guys decide what's best, or maybe just keep it the way it is

[Funbomb]

I think that's the purpose because to me it sounds reasonable to make him have some spells disabled on the eagle. It makes it seem balanced to me, you can take the eagle and kill units easier and get the risk of dying from fire arrows and other upgraded arrows or you can stay on the ground and use your powers.

Well, yeh that crossed my mind but for the sake of fun game play, technically speaking the yeomen spear throwers could only have one spear to through

Why is Radagast in Rohan when he lived in roshgobel near beornings?

[tompabus]

He could be in elf faction

[Myrdin]

becouse elfs already have enough strong heroes ( which Rohan lacks ) soo, . . . thats why ( though he could use some buffing, at least abit )

[Devon]

Yes but...yoement archers could at least conceivably carry more spears. Rohirrim can't.

[tylerman29]

are the yeomen gunna get new skins?

Possibly, the Rohirrim could have a rechargeable ability for throwing their spears.
The rechargeable aspect could represent them recovering their spears during battle.

yeh, you can see it many times in the movies, they throw spears at enemies, thats a thing that should be counted too

Would it serve a purpose? I guess it could be used against trolls and monsters. But they'd have a big + against them so wouldn't they be overpowered? Jus my 2 cents.

[Myrdin]

every time Rohirrims charged the enemy they therw spears during the crushing ( it would have to be " cast " not as the SPEAR THROW of heroes, who need to stop, take out spear and throw - for rohirim bear spears in hands all the time )
soo they would trample through enemies, and at the same time they would throw few spears at the surounding enemy units ( without being stopped by it )

Now, that's what I call the Horselord.

[Devon]

That would be overpowered though...don't you think?

[Myrdin]

no, for as far as i remember rohirim were 600 hp elite unit in BFME2 - after FU, they could even head on with pikeman ( though only idiot would do that )

in Rotwk they have been nerfed to 450 ( and at this point i kinda forsaken them ),
now they are still 450 - more or less one power is nothing that could shake the balance - afterall snow trolls ( 800 hp ) have abylity too ( charge - gives them temporall leadership like bonus ).
And rohan is still kinda " fishy ", they need some more originality, soo this is what i sugest . . . hey it was shown in movies many times, soo why not

[Devon]

They're still 650...though they'll have a price reduction by next beta. Maybe it's just cause I've been playing the private beta so much, but cav has been waaay overhauled and I think it would make them really op.

[Myrdin]

umm sorry, i think i messed up a bit though i had newer say that it was price - i didnt mean 650 the price. i ment the HP, i was refferring to the BFME2 where they were the best you could get for gondor ( now for Rohan ) as it was powerfull 600 hp cawalery, that had good trample and could be upgraded, if combined with glorious charge ( though yuo needed to lvl up Theo, a bit ) it was powerfull force
