Giveaway412

An officer in Sauron’s army and slavedriver of the Orcs. Carries a whip to enforce his orders. Recruited from a level 3 Orc Barracks.

 

Passive: Orc Warriors, Pikemen, and Archers nearby the Inspector receive +15% armour, +10% damage, and +10% range. At Rank 5, increases to +25% armour and +15% damage.

Active: Levels up the Inspector. 300 to rank 3, 600 to rank 5.

 

Passive: Reveals stealth in a radius around the Inspector.

Active: Orc units nearby the Inspector briefly get a large increase to their experience gain.

 

The Inspector cracks his whip. Nearby Orc units get a +15% speed increase and a +50% ranged avoidance increase.

 

The Inspector commands his Orcs to enter the fray with no regard for their own safety. Target a friendly Orc battalion to dramatically increase their speed, armour, and damage. Orc battalion dies after 10 seconds.

 

I think I've mentioned this idea in the past but I feel like Easterlings tend to overshadow Orcs in Mordor, and I think it'd be cool if you could totally forgo them in a game. This unit would partially buff the Warriors, Pikemen and Archers into "somewhat better than fodder" for the late game almost acting as an alternative to armor and weapon upgrades.

 

Rank 1: The Hunter 

Lug can kill any beast, no matter if he wields sharpened rod or swift arrow.

Toggles between his bow and spear.

 

Rank 3: Beast Tamer

From the beasts of the earth to the birds of the sky, Lug has hunted every manner of creature.

Target monster/flying unit has a reduction in speed and damage for a short time.

 

Rank 6: Scent of Blood

Lug's prowess with taming is such that he can whip his monsters into a murderous frenzy, causing them to abandon any attempt at self-preservation to pursue a kill.

Temporarily grants an allied single-entity monster unit (Cave Troll, Giant Bat, Gundabad Troll, Fire Wyrm or Stone Giant) greatly increased damage at the cost of increasing its vulnerability. Does not apply to buildings.

 

Rank 9: Totem of the Wild

An effigy constructed by Lug to mark his dominion over nature. Its threatening visage terrifies any horse or beast that lays eyes on it, and Lug's own tamed creatures guard it fervently.

Summons a Totem of the Wild to the battlefield that is permanent until it is destroyed. This will heavily increase the crush deceleration of enemy monsters and cavalry in the surrounding area. The Totem will be protected by a few Wargs and Giant Bats.
