In the German thread I've made a suggestion for a new outpost.
I try to translate it, sorry if my English sounds strange:
OUTPOST
Camp of the outlaws/ royal boundary-camp
The alternative outpost should be a cheap building, so that Rohan would be the only faction that can capture the big building plot early
The idea was a camp of the expatriated Rohirrim, which develops to a royal boundary-camp after you heal Theoden from his curse.
The Camp of the outlaws:Costs:
500Active ability:
Send a spy: A single rider without the possibility to attack spawns at your camp. The rider is fast and has a big visibility range.
The rider is just a temporary unit.
Passive: The camp is protected by some friendly Rohirrim creeps.
Recruitment of heroes:
Éomer (Éomer can only be recruited here while Theoden is affected by it's curse)
Recruitment of units:
Outlaws- (max. 4 Units)
- Riders, equipped with spears & axes
- costs: 250
- CP: 90
- Weaknesses: less armor and attack than normal Rohirrim.
Can't get upgrades (because the kingdom does not support outlaws) - strengths: Cheaper and faster than normal Rohirrim.
They have a fast recruitment. - Passive ability level 1: The outlaws strength:The outlaws get new power while Éomer fights with them side by side. While Éomer is near to the outlaws they are as strong as the normal Rohirrim and have the same armor like them.
When you heal Theoden from his curse the camp develops to a royal boundary-camp.
In addition to that all outlaws envolve to boundary-ridders and you can build Éomer in the fortress, too.Royal boundary-camp:Costs:
500 + Healing of Theoden
The royal boundary-camp is a tent camp of Rohirrim commissioned by their king to protect Rohans boundaries.
Active ability:
Send a spy: A single rider without the possibility to attack spawns at your camp. The rider is fast and has a big visibility range.
The rider is just a temporary unit.
Recruitment of heroes:
Éomer Recruitment of units:
Royal boundary rider- (max. 4 units)
- Riders, equipped with long hammers
- costs: 350
- CP: 90
- Weaknesses: No Upgrades, less attack power than normal Rohirrim
- Strenghts: Less costs, a strong armor.
- Formation: Boundary ride: The royal boundary riders build 2 lines.
The visibility range increases +50%, Arrows do 25% less damage.
The attackpower decreases -50%. - Active ability level 1:boundary guard: The riders see the enemy passing Rohans boundaries and try to stop them. For a short period of time a selected unit gets more damage if it gets stomped under the horses feet.
- Passive ability level 3: United under one king: Éomers former companions are loyal to the royal family of Rohan. They get leadership bonuses twice.
These are the important aspects, if you want to read the full German version of this concept:
http://forum.modding-union.com/index.php/topic,31117.0.htmlThere I wrote why I want to realize this concept and some further information but I was to lazy to translate everything. Nevertheless this is the essence of the concept.
EDIT: As Saruman the wise said outlaws sounds better, I've changed the name.
