Hey there!
In this weeks update, we'll be looking at the first lot of changes to Rohan's Spellbook.


Posted Image



Replacing Heal as one of Rohan's tier 1 powers is Ride Light and Swift. When activated, this global ability grants all your mounted units an increase in speed and a decrease in trample deceleration. Lasting for 30 seconds, Ride Light and Swift can be equally useful in cutting through enemy ranks, outmaneuvering foes, or for making hasty retreats.

Posted ImagePosted ImagePosted Image



At tier 2 is Muster of Rohan, replacing the now completely-removed Elven Wood. For 2pp, this ability provides a 60 second bonus to all stables when activated - decreasing the cost and build time of all mounted units. When combined with the cavalry discount provided by farms, the cost of mustering your rohirrim can be incredibly low!

Posted ImagePosted Image



Lastly, the Oath of Cirion replaces the Elven Allies power at tier 2. At a cost of 3pp, this ability summons 2 battalions of Gondor Archers and 2 battalions of Gondor Spearmen to Rohan's aid. Upgraded with heavy armour, your Gondorian allies can be extremely useful in raiding undefended settlements, outflanking enemy troops, or simply bolstering your existing forces.

And that's all for this update!

Next week: Rohan Spellbook Part II

It looks like Cavalry is really being empathized by the power's.

Really cool, I especially like the ride light and swift power. It reminds me of Theoden's Glorious Charge, only easier to use.

I wanted to match Gondor's Oath of Eorl summon with the corresponding Oath of Cirion. And I hate Elves, y'know. Gotta stay in character.

I really don't do requests and my Arnor Soldier is not fit for BFME. Don't ask me for either.

You'll notice a rather Elvish looking button in their spellbook from the first screenshot.

No fuel left for the pilgrims

You'll find out in next weeks update!

As far as campaigns, that quesiton was just asked here in the TDH Discussion forum. There definitely won't be an edited campaign in the next release. I wouldn't rule it out completely, but even if we were to start editing the campaigns, it would be quite a while before you see the changes for yourself ;)

Looks like the last power is the three hunters! I'm glad you managed to fit them back in somehow.

Great spell changes! I like how muster of Rohan is becoming a popular power. Emphasis on horse units is really how Rohan should be... now gimme gimme gimme... j/k

True, I cannot wait until the axes of the Dwarves have some worthy opponents and allies!
