Ideas for post Dol Guldur Mordor

 

Dol Guldur dungeon is replaced by the Bastion/Tower of Cirith Ungol

Shelob's summon is moved to it and replaced by a Morgul beacon, which grants bonuses to the Nazgûl/let's you recruit the other Nazgûl/does some other thing

 

From the Tower of Cirith Ungol you can recruit Gorbag, which replace's Gothmog as a damage dealer. Design cue: overseer skl.

Maybe you can recruit Shelob's spawn from it, maybe black orcs as well

 

Maybe a new easterling captain to inherit the leadership powers from Khamul

When the changes to the faction were announced on Discord, I mentioned the lack of an archer hero. Considering the comment that there could still be changes to the hero roster, I tried to adress it with a proposal for a new one:
He would have a mechanic similar to the Edains' Aranarth one. (http://edain.wikia.com/wiki/Aranarth). At level 7 you can chose one of two options.

Narzug (or some other orcish name). Appearance: a mountain-orc with adorns that show his prowess in battle.

Description: A mountain-orc that became chief of a small tribe by savagely destroying his contenders, but proved to be a smart leader with stealthy tactics.
Rank 1: Sword/Bow Toggle

Rank 1: Quick and quiet, no screams
Causes nearby mountain-orcs to be invisible near trees (or while standing still, unless that's too OP)

Rank 5: Mountain Kindred
Leadership to mountain-orcs.

Rank 7: My Blood
Narzug choses to fight for the unification of the mountain-orcs.

Rank 7: Their Blood
Narzug choses to fill the ranks of the Gundabad Berzerkers, giving in for his crave for human, elvish and dwarvish blood. This replaces My Blood and Their Blood.

________________________
If "My Blood" is chosen

Mountain Kindred's leadership is increased.

Level 7: Stealthy shot. Replaces My Blood.
Active: Narzug fires and arrow, causing good damage and crippling the target.
Passive: Allows Mountain-orc scouts to use Barbed Arrow Shot ability (currently available to Gundabad Archers).

________________________
If "Their Blood" is chosen
Level 1: Recruit (replaces Sword/Bow Toggle)
Passive: Narzug wears Gundabad armor and lays down his weapons for a berzerker scimitar, gaining increased stats.

Level 5: Bloodthirst (replaces Mountain Kindred)
With each consecutive strike, Narzug's attack increases.

Level 7: Berzerker (replaces Their Blood).
Acitve: For a short while, Narzug gains 150% damage, -50% armor.
Alternative: Passive: Narzug attacks now knock back units, and he cannot be knocked down.

I know you guys are probably very busy with Erebor right now, but I had a few ideas I would like to share:

I'm having a busy week, but I think I'll finish cutting AUJ this weekend and upload everything (including what is already on 4shared and some more of BotFA I cut after uploading) to mega by sunday night.

Did you find it, Mathijs?
I think tomorrow I'll finish cutting all BotFA usable lines.
