Middle-earth awaits.
Today we have something special for you.
We agree with our community that the young Bilbo does not fit into the realm of the Iron Hills. In addition, many users wished that the Ram riders from BotfA should be more and permament available.
So we were thinking about a new concept:
Just like the dwarven realm Erebor, the Iron Hills gets a new scout unit. The Iron Hills are now able to recruit three single ram rider. Each of these individual ram rider will cost few ressources, has high visibility and is very fast, so a perfect way to scout. When Lord Dain enters the battlefield, the scouts can call and lead for some ressources a whole troop of ram riders. In addition, the troups can research forged blades and heavy armour. Nevertheless, these troops are limited to a maximum of three. So later in the game, when scouting is no longer important, the scouts can be fully upgraded to strong fighters - thus they undergo development.
We believe that it is an interesting and unique system, according to the wishes of our fans.
Credits for the rams goes to Nazgul from the Special Extended Edition.
Damn, what a brilliant idea! So the ram rider are really available, while maintaining the Iron Hills getting an unique system to peek. Cheers, guys. You are awesome!
It is certainly the best concept of scouts that have developed.
You will meet many people who wanted to sheep as a permanent unit.
As always an amazing job.
AWESOME!
Too small
That is so amazing, truely!
Awesome!! :D
Amazing !
The idea of this Concept and Scout like whole is simply genius!! :) I lvoe how you integrated the epic Ram Cavalry and gave them Double Function Early Game Scouts and Late Game usefull but Limited Cavalry fitting for the Dwarven Race! :)
All I can say is awesome work and fingers crossedfor them to get Movie Models some times in distant future! :)
Yes, it's indeed a very smart way to integrate them in the game, taking into consideration all the possible opinions throughout the forum.
I hope that you will appreciate them even more when you will directly play them yourself :)
maybe a closer one i cant see ****
Yes, it might be needed a more zoom-focused one.
Nevertheless, you could also express yourself in a definitely politer way.
Get some glasses then, Gandalf the Gray.
mind your own business

Ealendril wie kann ich mich bei Modding Union registrieren ich hab das vor ein paar Kahren schon mal versucht aber jetzt steht da die Buchstaben stimmen nicht mit denen im Bild über ein
Müssen die Buchstaben aus der Verifizierung in das Passwortkästchen oder wo ?
Genau. Da stehen Zahlen oder Buchstaben aus dem Captcha. Wenn dus nicht lesen kannst dann klicke auf die Rotationspfeile. Diese Buchstaben oder Zahlen schreibst du in das gelbe Kästchen rein. Oben gibst du E-Mail etc an. Dann einfach auf registrieren gehen. Wenns nicht klappt dann melde dich nochmal, ist kein Ding.
Danke
So it's now daily?! Cool! :)
And so how many will we have at maximum ? No limit or only 3 ?

Thx
yesss goat riders!
Ealendril,
Ich hab eine Frage was eure Modding-Programme angeht, wie du im Trailer zu der Hobbit die Schlacht der fünf Heere und im Trailer der Extended Edition gesehen hast haben die Zwerge aus den Eisenberge Ballisten bei sich die Speere schießen an denen Messer sitzen um gegnerische Pfeilhagel zu eliminieren und die Truppen zu schützen.
Je nach dem wie viel davon später im Film gezeigt wird weiß ich nicht aber selbst wenn es nur 10 Sekunden sind wäre es dann möglich die in den Mod mit einzubauen
Ich glaube eher nicht, zumindest nach meinem derzeitigen Wissensstand. Dafür müsste das geworfene Projectile mit den Pfeilen kollidieren können, was aber in SuM so nicht "richtig" möglich ist.
Okay danke
Dann... frohes Schaffen :)
Technical question: do they retain their level if they die?
Not really. They're units not heroes, so each time is a new day^^
Perfect, just what I hoped for^^
Making them retain their level would've make them OP
This is absolutely amazing, and making at the begining scouts as individuals and later when dain is recruited, they can summon a full battalion with them is just perfect. Very good work lads :) . Also any hint of wich building will recruit these units ? ( obviously it will be the fortress to start scounting early, but i would like to have it confirmed by you :) )
That is awesome!
I F****** LOVE YOU GUYS, THANK YOU SO MUCH ET
These are fantastic! I just prefare the dwarves movie designs
This is absolutely fantastic!! I alwasy loved these guys and i was soo happy when i saw them pulling the ram an the chariot but this is even greater!
