Concerning Trolls (or lack there of) In Angmar
« am: 31. Mär 2016, 16:12 »
Hello everyone! For those who don't know my name is RuudDevil and I've been making YT videos about edain since 3.8.1 and every so often I get drafted in to showcase the latest editions of the edain mod (which I'm very thankful for) :P

There have been several rumblings regarding the lack of Hill/Snow trolls in the new Angmar faction including the mighty Rogash and while a representative of the edain team has hinted that they could be included as part of the powers menu, I'd like to offer my suggestions for how they'd fit in.

Since Angmar is already the most varied faction, utilising thralls, wolves, and sorcerers, it seems a little overwhelming to also throw trolls into the mix, and including them as a tier 3 power would prove difficult since summon dragons, freezing rain, and spread plague all fit in well. My suggestion would be to move the Witch-King's Sanctum tier 4 power to a fortress upgrade (albeit an expensive upgrade since it's freakin' useful!) and replace that with a summon trolls of the north (similar to Arnor's summon Gondor, or Isengard's Isengard Unleashed ability). Such an ability would obviously be lead by Rogash and maybe 4 or 5 battalions of hill/snow trolls.

But anyway, let me guys know what you think about a possible implementation of the trolls we all know and love :D


p.s. If this is posted in the wrong area I'm sorry! This is my 1st or 2nd post :P

Well... i never thought that this one will show up in here.  :D

Greetings Ruud.

Not so bad idea, but I think that spell shouldn't include battalions. Just Rogash and few (from 6 to 12) single units. Making regular troops from trolls wouldn't be lore-friendly.
Mix of cave, hill and snow trolls with Rogash leading them will be perfect in my opinion. ;)

Well someone that i didn't expect  :D , anyway welcome to modding union RuudDevil .
i like your suggestion, although i would prefer to replace the dragons power from spellbook with trolls and the last power about Witchking sanctuary stay the same...
If i remembered correctly the dragons will be in Misty Mountains faction

Well well well Ruud Devil made a forum post XD I agree we need some trolls (ESPECIALLY ROGASH) back in the game, I would suggest swapping the summon orcs power for summon trolls of the north. Put the power at a higher tier (15?) and summon Rogash and 2 battalions each of snow and hill trolls

thoughts?

BARUK KHAZAD!

p.s oh yeah Ruud it's me SAMWISE JENKINS!

Well from what I am aware in the latest build of the 4.3 beta they changed the tier 3 power where you summon 3 dragons into summoning hill trolls and Rogash instead.
