My more detailed ideas on how it should be (with uses):(In order of power)
Early -
Merry - Least powerful, scouting hero
Eowyn - Scouting hero, Nazgul killer

Mid Early -
Hama - Helps heros

Mid game heros -
Gamling - Hero Aid
Eomer - Raiding, Fighting

Mid Late -
Erkenbrand - Fighting, Leadership (To units) hero

Late -
Theoden (Improve) - Fighting, Great Leadership
Radagast - Magic, Eagles

Any Better?

Make Eomer early

[Ring o' Fate]

Midearly you mean...

[Devon]

Yeah, I guess

[Uruk King]

Really really nice ideas!

But a king Eomer? I like but I can't see how it works when you already have King Theoden. Perhaps you can have it as a level ten upgrade, you purchase it Eomer gains an armour/weopon damage, and a leadership boost applying to all rohan units and mabye some heroes, but if Theoden dies or is already dead, he'll stay that way. And before this idea is attacked, Theoden is great as a leader and unit supporter, and Eomer's abilities are more action-focused than Theoden, and powerful leadership/hero damage and armour boost would make him a very fine hero indeed.

Not every hero needs a level 10 ability to be useful.


Eomer is just about perfect as he is in my opinion. You can get him early enough and he's a great economy boost, plus the leadership is excellent in a battle too.

The only thing that prevents me from loading up Eomer with powers ('cuz I do tend to do that ) is the fact that he has wonderful stats. He can survive in battle and like Yoda said

Well, he's not too useful in an all-out melée, particularly when he's on his feet to dodge pikes. His attack is too slow, which is unacceptable when you don't do heavy damage or splash damage. Take Arwen (currently useless), or Eowyn (not far off from useless), or Faramir's sword attack (even when enemies get close his ranged attack is faster, and as a horse rider he's kind of puny), for example. I think one or two extra abilities for Eomer would be far from doing harm.

I'm generally in favour of new or improved powers at Lvl.10 just for the recognition you actually got your hero that far. Eomer stops having new powers at Lvl.5, as does Eowyn, meaning you tend to forget about them later in the game in favour of stronger heroes or ones with new abilities.

When the hell would you not keep him mounted? He's mean't to be a cavalry hero.

His attack may be slow but he can dish out damage eventually and he can take a fair amount of hits. You don't need explosions and amazing splash damage to make a hero good. And let's not try to make Eomer the h-core melee damager either; If that were to happen, you would eliminate Eowyn's purpose.

Forgetting about Eomer in the late game is okay in my opinion. He has decent leadership abilities to benefit your army anyways. And also in my opinion, Eomer is one of the few heroes that you don't have to "babysit" to get the most out of him.

At the very most, I would only agree to an increased spear-throw range/damage when he reaches rank 7-10.

Maybe just a small amount of damage increase for his spear. I think its pretty good where its at

The damage leadership is very useful, and the outlaw leadership is also a nice economy boost. He, Theoden, and Merry are usually the only Rohan heroes I get.

hey this issue has probably already been raised, but after purchasing the banner carriers upgrade, i cant apply it to any battalion.

[Ring o' Fate]

You get it for the Heralds. It's not an issue, it's just you being a little forgetful.

[Devon]

Ringy, what? He means the actual banner carrier upgrade, not the heralds themselves, if I understand you correctly

yeah the barrier carrier upgrade
like for rohirrim battalions?
apart from that, rohan is probably my favourite faction XD

[Devon]

Yeah, we know about that bug. Hopefully it'll get fixed.


Rohan is awesome, I agree

[Ring o' Fate]

Oh, my bad.

[Eddywood123]

does anyone think rohan should have an eltie or stronger infantry??
i only thought this when playing agasint mordor on hard and they were churning out morgul orcs and such, rohans ability to get men out quickly is great but the yeoman dont become formiable until you upgrade them. ((i did think of the royal guard but they are 1200 and take a while to build))

Just something like "" dismouted rohirrim"" a kind of good opposite of the Isengard Uruks for example ((but maybe jst a bit weaker))
however i like the archers as they are

Still Rohan are by far my favourite faction

[Devon]

Nah, Rohan wasn't infantry focused at all. Just get some Horsies and you'll rule the battlefield; they're the best in game
