Poll: New hero system for Rohan.
« am: 6. Aug 2015, 02:15 »
Since the mod seems to try and stay true to canon, having the ability to get all of the different heroes of Rohan conflicts with the story and timeline of the war of the ring. So my idea is to have their heroes come in 2 sets, based on the different time periods from the War of the Ring. The 2 sets would be separated by a power point, the same one that changes Theoden from Corrupted to Glorious, except now it would affect more heroes than just Theoden. The first set of heroes would be weaker and have weaker abilities, but be more expensive, while the second set would be much stronger and much more expensive. Additionally, both Theodred and Hama would only be revivable as long as Theoden remains corrupted, once the spellbook power is unlocked to cure Theoden both Hama and Thedred would stay dead if killed. The benefit of this would be getting all the heroes except those unlocked by the power point for a reduced cost, then unlocking their second forms to make them stronger. This idea takes somewhat from my first poll about making Erkenbrand, Elfhelm and Grimbold into full heroes, but if that is decided against just ignore the parts about them and focus on the heroes already in the game.

The first set would be based on the initial war with Saruman and Theoden's corruption: Merry, Corrupted Theoden, Theodred, Outlawed Eomer, Eowyn, Marshal Grimbold, Captain Hama, Sergeant Gamling, and de facto Marshal Elfhelm. In this first time period, Hama would be captain of the guard at Meduseld, and Gamling would just be a high ranked soldier or sergeant. Elfhelm would basically be first marshal due to Theodens illness, Theodred second marshal, and Eomer third marshal but outlawed, and both Theodred and Hama would become unrevivable once the spellbook power is unlocked. The roles for each hero would be:
Merry: Scout Hero
Eowyn: Hero Killer
Theodred: Building Supporter
Corrupted Theoden: Economic Bonuses With Penalties
Hama: Unit Interrupter
Eomer: Tank
Grimbold: Cavalry Supporter
Elfhelm: Hero Supporter
Gamling: Infantry Supporter

I also went ahead and thought up new abilities for most of the heroes in their first stage, here they are:
Merry(Scout Hero, cost 150 before power point, 500 after): No different stages, all same abilities as they are now.

Eowyn(Hero Killer, cost 1000 before power point, 2000 after): No different stages, all same abilities as they are now.

Theodred(Building Supporter, cost 1500): No different stages, all same abilities as they are now.

Gamling, Sergeant Form(Infantry Supporter, cost 800) new abilities.
Level 1: Mount
No description needed
Level 1: To the Armory!
Effect: Same effect and description as current ability.
Level 4: Gamlings Horn/Forceful Burning Shot
Effect: Same effect and description for both abilities
Level 7: Infantry Command
Effect: All nearby friendly infantry, but not cavalry, will gain +30% armor and damage. Description: "Gamling leads his men with efficiency, improving their abilities in combat significantly. All nearby friendly infantry, not cavalry, will gain 30% armor and damage"
Level 10: Rapid Deployment Order
Effect: Same effect and description as current ability.

Corrupted Theoden(Economic Bonuses With Penalties, cost 600): The "Banishment into Exile" ability would need to be removed for the system to work correctly, and replaced with a passive ability that allows Theodred and Hama to be revived. Once he is cured of Grima's spell and loses this ability, Hama and Theodred would both be unrevivable once killed, and would disappear from the fortress hero button.

Hama(Unit Interrupter, cost 1500): No second form, but different abilities.
Level 1: Mount
No description needed.
Level 1: Door Ward of Theoden
Effect: Targeted enemy units in a small radius cannot attack for 30 seconds, increases in strength as Hama gains higher levels. At level 4, the target radius increases. At level 7, the time increases to 60 seconds, At level 10, it can affect heroes. Description: "Hama is the Door ward and Captain of the Guard of Meduseld. He confiscates enemy weapons to prevent them from presenting a threat to King Theoden. Targeted enemy units cannot attack for 30 seconds" The description would change as Hama gains levels.
Level 4: Challenge of the Guard.

Effect: Targeted enemy units will not be able to gain experience for 2 minutes. Description: "Hama is following strict orders from The King, and will not let any people but those of Rohan glean any secrets about their plans or strategies. Targeted enemy units will be unable to gain combat experience for 2 minutes"
Level 8: Resistance of the Guard
Effect: For 30 seconds, enemy units close to Hama will be knocked down and very lightly damaged. Description: "Hama fights with ferocity to defend his city, and knocks his foes to the ground in his fury. Enemy units near to Hama will be continuously knocked back and damaged for 30 seconds"

Eomer will gain double armor and damage for 30 seconds, and be unable to mount for the duration of the ability" (Mounted): "Eomer feels the sting of betrayal in his banishment, and his rage drives him to greater efforts. Eomer will gain double movement and attack speed, and be unable to be slowed while trampling for 30 seconds, but cannot dismount for the duration of the ability"

Grimbold, Captain Form(Cavalry Supporter, cost 1200)
Level 1: Mount
No description needed
Level 2: Captain of the Westfold
Effect: Passive Ability, All nearby cavalry, NOT Infantry, gain +50% armor. Description: "Grimbold is a great Captain, inspiring those around him to greater efforts. All nearby friendly cavalry gain +50% armor while near to Grimbold"

Elfhelm, De-Facto First Marshal Form(Hero Supporter, cost 1200)
Level 1: Mount
No description needed.
Level 4: Loyalty of Edoras
Effect: Passive Ability, Different effects when near Theoden, Eomer, Eowyn or Theodred, all effects stack if near all 4 heroes. If near Eomer, Elfhelm and Eomer both gain +50% attack speed.

Level 8: In the King's Name
Effect: Elfhelm gives the target hero +100% movement speed and refreshes their ability cooldown timers. Only works on a single hero, cannot be cast on self. Description: "Elfhelm gives his orders in Theoden's name, giving hope to the people of Rohan that their King can still rule reliably. The targeted hero will have their ability cooldowns fully recharged and gain +100% movement speed for 30 seconds"
Level 10: First Marshal's Command
Effect: Hero revival costs will be halved for 30 seconds. Description: "Elfhelm orders the healers of Rohan to work more speedily, to get the wounded heroes of Rohan back on their feet to continue fighting for Rohan's defense. All hero revival costs will be halved for 30 seconds"

In order to unlock the next set of heroes, Theoden must be released from Sarumans spell with the spellbook power. The second set of heroes would represent the Battle of Helms Deep, followed by the Muster of the Rohirrim, and would be much stronger in their second forms, but also more expensive. They would consist of: Merry, Eowyn, Glorious Theoden, Marshal Eomer, Marshal Grimbold, Marshal Elfhelm, Captain Gamling and Captain Erkenbrand. By this time the hierarchy gets reworked, so that the roles of command are King(Theoden), First Marshal(Eomer, Command of Edoras and surrounds) Marshal of the Westfold(Grimbold, Command of Helms Deep/Fords of Isen and surrounds), and Marshal of the Eastfold(Elfhelm, Command of Aldburg/Dunharrow and surrounds) So the highest ranking people would be Theoden, Eomer, Elfhelm and Grimbold, Followed by Gamling and Erkenbrand, who are just captains. The roles of heroes would be:
Merry: Scout Hero
Eowyn: Hero Killer
Theoden: Hero Supporter
Eomer: Mass Slayer
Grimbold: Cavalry Supporter
Elfhelm: Army Healer/Summoner
Gamling: Infantry Supporter
Erkenbrand: Tank

With this system, you could avoid freeing Theoden, and have a separate, but equally cool set of heroes to fight with. It would work the same as the current system with Theoden, after unlocking the spellbook power the heroes are changed to their second forms, and Erkenbrand becomes trainable. In order to ensure that the system isn't screwed up, both Hama and Theodred would need to be affected by Theoden's passive ability that would cause them to be unrevivable after Theoden is freed, like the current effect of "Banishment into Exile" except it activates AFTER getting the power point, not before. As soon as the power point is unlocked, the secondary forms of the heroes would be unlocked, but Theodred and Hama would both be unrevivable once they die. This would help to merge the timeline of Helms Deep and the Muster of the Rohirrim, as they should really be separate. But making 3 different sets of heroes would require 2 different power points, and what I'm sure would be a ridiculous amount of work, so its easier to just blur the lines a little bit. Here are all the my ability suggestions for each hero in their second stage.

Merry and Eowyn would both have the same abilities, but their costs and stats increased, to 500 for Merry, and 2000 for Eowyn.

Glorious Theoden(Hero Supporter, cost 3000)

Units near to this point gain 50% armor and regenerate health and lost troops, but move 50% slower"

His warriors will fight with renewed fury, and cut through enemy ranks like a knife through butter. Erkenbrand and all friendly cavalry and mounted heroes in a medium radius will reduce enemy armor by 50% for 20 seconds"

Final note, I know that this idea is kind of huge, and I'm not expecting many of these abilities to actually get through. The main idea here is to have the heroes come in 2 separate sets, even if they keep their current abilities, which I think would make Rohan really fun to play and give them some diversification, so please base your vote on that idea alone, do not let my ideas for abilities influence your vote.
Arise! Arise, Riders of Theoden! Fell deeds awake: fire and slaughter! Spear shall be shaken! Shield shall be splintered! A sword day, a red day, ere the sun rises! Ride now! Ride now! Ride, ride to ruin, and the worlds ending! FORTH EORLINGAS!

Although this idea is definitely unique, it has an extreme design flaw: It makes the de-corrupt spell the center of Rohan's gameplay. Of course it is already really important, but I don't like the concept of a tier 2 spell which changes every single aspect of the faction (which this basically does).
This is more of a general problem, together with this, I really like Hama and Theodred. You have of course in this concept a replacement for Hama's fountain capabilities but Theodred has one of the most unique ability sets in the game the moment. Also it sounds a little weird that you essentially replace 2 fully functional heroes by 3 new ones.
As a last point of critism: A LOT of these abilities sound brutally overpowered (pretty much all of the leaderships) and some abilities won't work or have at least unintentional phenomenons, while drowning Rohan in leaderships.

So in conclusion: Your proposals are interesting, but I don't like them sorry -in general this rapid change is too much in a game like this, in my opinion.

Well if you read all the way to the end, you'll notice I specifically stated that these are just ideas, and that the abilities could be changed to whatever the team wanted really. Also, a good player could keep both Hama and Theodred alive if they were careful.
Arise! Arise, Riders of Theoden! Fell deeds awake: fire and slaughter! Spear shall be shaken! Shield shall be splintered! A sword day, a red day, ere the sun rises! Ride now! Ride now! Ride, ride to ruin, and the worlds ending! FORTH EORLINGAS!

Trust me I read to the end. ;)
Again: I don't like the system, that one passive spell just changes an entire faction so massively. And this is more or less the core of your idea, so I can't just look over it as a genereal proposal. The hero abilities as a whole you are right, those were only ideas.
Well, the capability of a player to keep Hama and Theodred alive is of course very real. However practically everything in Edain is replaceable even if it may cost a lot or takes a lot of time. Just straight up losing a hero is therefore in my opinion not the best solution.

« Antwort #4 am: 6. Aug 2015, 19:12 »
it wouldn't change the whole faction, just the heroes. In the current version if you use Corrupted Théoden's ability banishment into exile and the hero you use it on dies, he can't be revived until Théoden is cured, so this idea is basically just based around that. The majority of the faction would remain unchanged, it would just be that the heroes come in 2 sets.
