Titel: Scout Hero for the Iron Hills
Beitrag von: TiberiusOgden am 25. Apr 2015, 17:19
I think that we should distinguish scout heroes for dwarvish kingdoms as well.
My suggestion is that Ered Luin will have young Bilbo, part of the Iron Hills will be Hilda Bianca from the Lake town and in the Erebor you can find old Bilbo. So all three kingdoms will have different (not dwarvish) scout heroes.

Hilda concept as a scout hero for Iron hills:
(https://31.media.tumblr.com/146fa22b282d22eab0d13e406b8bb3e0/tumblr_inline_niaqtbLhBk1r6rsd7.png)

Why Hilda?
1) Hilda will be only scout hero for Iron Hills where she could go sell herbs - it is near to the Lake town geographically.
2) About Lake town were two movies, but in the game Lake town will have only one hero - Bard.
3) Unknown actress who played Hilda had more screen time than for example Cate Blanchett (who has two oscars and her character definitely is not non-canon like Hilda). By the way she will have more screen time even in the upcoming extended edition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elEXyQ9KgfA&feature=youtu.be&t=265 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elEXyQ9KgfA&feature=youtu.be&t=265)

I tried to capture most of the aspects from movies in her role. The problem is that some suitable abilities has Bard somehow. Never mind, I invented new.  ;)

Primary weapon: spear
1) Scandalmonger of the Lake town - (increase her sight for 20 seconds by 40 % and reveals hidden enemy)
1) The herbalist from the Lake town (self healing little bit)
1) Quarrelsome woman - she argues to enemy hero her opinions (enemy hero is slower and has weaker armor by 20% for 30 seconds) - useful against another scout heroes
3) Throw a flowerpot (which causes injury to single target)
7) Brave lady from the Lake town - (Hilda summons old men and women into the battle)
We can use old design for Rohan units:
(http://www.gamereplays.org/community/uploads/post-7466-1152395106.jpg)
because in 4.0 Rohan units have completely new design.

Overall you can see that she has little bit "hero-killer aspect" but I would say that "counter-scout" aspect  :)

So I hope that everyone loves Hilda, because she is really badass.  :P

Interesting idea, I am always eager to new heroes, and Hilda is a pillar of the Hobbit trilogy (even though she wasn't in the first film) :)

About the Extended Edition, I heard that there will be a mini subplot about the Three Rings of Power, Sauron interrogating Gandalf in Dol Guldur and the power of the Three Rings more present and directly shown; but I am very curious about the possible scenes about Saruman (if there will be some).

We will probably see a longer version of the confrontation between Galadriel and Sauron, before the final banishment of him; Galadriel will speak Black Speech and I think she will take the 'ghostly' and bright form we saw when she orders Radagast to flee with Gandalf  :)

I would rather see Roäc the raven as a scout for the iron hills, it would be somewhat true to the books, and effective. This is assuming you can allow the Cebain swarm to build on settlements and outposts.

Here is the final concept for the scout hero of Iron Hills:

Bard talked with a few dwarves in the book. New scout can be a leader of this group of dwarves.

Narin's design:

Narin abilities:

Level 1: Patrol
Narin sends two soldiers to guard the selected area. Dwarven patrol has a high range of vision and can reveal nearby hidden units.

Level 1: Fast messenger
Narin goes to deliver the message. For 10 seconds Narin deals +25% speed +25% armor.

Level 5: Souvenirs from the Battlefield
Narin collect the souvenirs from battlefield. For 20 seconds he steals with every hit heroes and units 10 ressources.

Level 10: Dain's messenge
Narin said Dain's message to enemies.
Nearby enemy units get fear effect and -20% damage for 20 second.

What do you think? 8-)

I see her more as a Unit Supporter; with her brave words and courage, she can awaken the flame of battle in the soldiers and civilians of Lake Town  :)

I can see what you've done here xD there's actually no negative choice.
If Helda became any kind of hero (even if just a map candy) I would abandon all my feminist beliefs, and go on a crusade against such a poor character that gets more screen time than half the main characters in the movie!!!

With all the respect for the Hobbit films, I think that Alfrid and Hilda were two not-so-successful attempts to create counterparts of Grima and Éowyn in the Hobbit trilogy  :)

I voted for her to be in the game by the way, I think she can have her reason to be a part (small part) of the Edain Mod.

I know, but a scout role for her would be really not appropriate.
What if she were a non-playable hero (still part of your faction though), that wanders around the Lake-town outpost and guards it, like Círdan in the Elven Alliance Mod?

I never really liked her character in the movie, indeed I had entirely forgotten about her until I saw this post. She seemed very tacked on and unnecessary, sorry to say :/
Surely there must be some awesome dwarf buried in the lore of The Iron Hills that would be more suitable than some random (and non canonical) chick who fought in the battle of the 5 armies?

Actually I agree with you!I just do not like the idea of having some random non canon woman from Lake.Town as Iron Hills scout!I just do not see it fitting!I think this is the first time I do not agree with and idea of Tienity about the Dwarves,but sill I prefer to have some non cannon Dwarf for scout than Bilbo orBianka!!Or eve Braga :D

Agreed. All those additional Lake-town characters were not really needed in my opinion.
If the Edain team wants to change the scout hero for the Iron Hills, I think it should be a dwarf.

But if we loose Hilda concept, we loose unique abilities as well. :(

Throw a flowerpot

Just imagine Witch king or Bolg damaged by flowerpot. :o

Maybe this guy from War in the North?
http://lotr.wikia.com/wiki/Farin_(Champion) (http://lotr.wikia.com/wiki/Farin_(Champion))

Farin is no-canon character as Murin and Drar. But I like this guy in this game(As one of few things) and he fought in the Battle of the Five Armies(He said this in the game).

I have some ideas for his abilities:

Level 1: Toggle Weapon - Switches between axe and crossbow.

Level 1: Patrol: Farin sends two soldiers to guard the selected area. Dwarven patrol has a high range of vision and can reveal nearby hidden units.

Level 3: War-cry: For 10 seconds Farin deals +25% attack and +25% speed

Level 8: Explosive Bolt: Farin shots explosive bolt to the enemy. The enemy in the selected area will gets moderate damage.

What do you think about it? You like this character? :P

As I said a Dwarf will be more apropriate!And you have come up with an excellent idea my friend!I really like the concept of this Hero it sounds nice and even ifit is non canon I do not care sicne Murin and Drar ar too but are amazing Heroes! :)
his Abbilities are fine with one exception I do not think the teamm will agree he to use Crossbow since Iorn Hills do not use them in Edain Mod(I think they should be the one with Crossbows rather than Ered Luin) but nothing can be done there,beside that everything is fine! :)

Agreee and agree :D But about Bilbo I don't think thay he is young is the problem,to me at least!The pproblem is that Bilbo never had any kind of dealings with Iron Hills Dwarves in any kind,he probably didn't even know about its!So I think it is neither logical norLore wise to use him as a scout for Iron Hills too! :)

I think that he was born in the Iron Hills (because he fought in the Battle of the Five Armies in which only dwarves from Iron Hills were involved). But after the battle he became a dwarf of the Lonely Mountain (like Dain).

From wiki:
"Farin's first taste of war was at the Battle of the Five Armies. Following this, he became one of the foremost defenders of his homeland. "

Still, that means that we're either going to implement him as he's known from WitN where he isn't an "Iron Hills Dwarf" any more, or we have to come up with a younger Version of Farin that fought in the Battle of the Five Armies. But at that point we might as well design our own dwarf and give him another name.

I like the general idea of implementing different "lores", but I don't see any direct gain here sorry...

but I understand, you can create differently own character. Maybe you can use one of your old dwarven model with some changes but Bilbo is not suitable for Iron Hills.  [ugly]

I with LordDainIronfoot have a new and better ideas for Iron Hills scout.  xD
Bard talked with a few dwarves in the book. The new Scout can be the leader of this group of dwarves.
Zitat
Trumpets called men and elves to arms. Before long the dwarves could be seen ing up the valley at a great pace. They halted between the river and the eastern spur; but a few held on their way, and crossing the river drew he camp; and there they laid down their ons and held up their hands in sign of peace. Bard went out to meet them, and with him went Bilbo.

“We are sent from Dain son of Nain,” they said wheioned. “We are hastening to our kinsmen in the Mountain, since we learn that the kingdom of old is renewed. But who are you that sit in the plain as foes before defended walls?” This, of course, in the polite and rather old-fashioned language of such occasions, meant simply: “You have no business here. We are going on, so make way or we shall fight you!” They meant to push oween the Mountain and the loop of the river; for the narrow land there did not seem to be strongly guarded.

Bard, of course, refused to allow the dwarves to ght on to the Mountain. He was determio wait until the gold and silver had been brought out in exge for the Arkenstone; for he did not believe that this would be done, if ohe fortress was manned with se and warlike a pany. They had brought with them a great store of supplies; for the dwarves  carry very heavy burdens, and nearly all of Dain’s folk, in spite of their rapid march, bore huge packs on their backs in addition to their ons. They would stand a siege for weeks, and by that time yet more dwarves might e, a more, for Thorin had maives. Also they would be able to reopen and guard some ate, so that the besiegers would have to encircle the whole mountain; and for that they had not suffit numbers.

The Hobbit Chapter 17

This guy can have name Grorin(or maybe another name)
He can have the design:

Or he can have old dwarven model with some changes, maybe old Balin or Dwalin model.

Grorin abilities:

Level 1: Toggle Weapon - Switches between mattock and bow.

Level 1: Patrol: Grorin sends two soldiers to guard the selected area. Dwarven patrol has a high range of vision and can reveal nearby hidden units.

Level 1: Dain's messenger: Glorin goes to deliver the message. For 10 seconds Grorin deals +25% speed +25% armor.

Level 7: Souvenirs from the Battlefield(Mattock)
Glorin collect the souvenirs from battlefield. For 20 seconds he steals with every hit heroes and units 10 ressources.

Level 7: Iron arrow(Bow)
Glorin shooting his special Iron arrow to the enemy.
Enemy unit or hero gets medium damage and -10% armor for 10 second.

What do you think? 8-)

Yes, obviously he is.  :D  :D  :D  Without him this Suggestion Area of forum would be semi-dead place.  :P Or place with same kind of comments: "Like it!", "Nice!","Good!".  :D


This looks nice, just that level requirement of abilities? :) :P
I must admit that I more liked that crossbow from suggested picture than any bow, but I realise this is scout hero and bow is more suitable (Anyway, IronHills units prefers bow like range weapon more than crossbow). So all range damage units of Iron Hills will have bow, and possibility is that range damage units at Outpost will be equipped with crossbows. :)  8-)

Grimir has a same level requirement for abilities as Bilbo. ;)
I agree, bow is more fit for him. ;)

Do not forget my friend that it is not what is more fiting but it is what is more "ünique" that is important to the Team! :D

I would also more like to see that crossbow in hands of Grorin.  8-)  ;)
But if you take into consideration fact that crossbow is heavier than bow, then it simply less fit to scout hero. And there is already current Iron Hills range weapon concept. :)

Titel: Re: Scout hero for Iron Hills - Hilda Bianca finally on the MU!
Beitrag von: LordDainIronfoot am 2. Aug 2015, 22:53
Well on the other hand Crossbow is comapct and takes less space and can be carried on the back too! :) And plus Iron Hills already has Ercher Hero! :)
Hilda,hmm let her worrie about the kitchen in lake town!
P.S. But man those Orcs "bred for War" are so lame being killed by women who do not have any kind of a training and some grandmas and grandpas and all that after those Orcs toook almsot entire Elven Army and Half Dwarven Army :D :D

#TheReturnofHildatheLadyofLakeTown  [ugly]

SUPER EDIT:

In a time of ancient Valar, Dark Lords and Kings...
A land in turmoil cried out for a hero.
She was Hilda, a mighty fisher forged in the heat of battle.
The Power...the Passion...the Danger.
Her Courage will change Middle Earth.

New scout can has this old Balin model but with new beard and better clothes from your picture. xD

I really can't decide between the first Scout and the one that is on the left of the sevond pic!!I like both realyl much! :) But both will be awesome Scouts with Bow and Axe! :)
P.S. I still think that Iron Hills should have Crossbowmans instead of Archers! :)

I like more scout from second picture. :P
Bow and Axe? I do not know. Maybe he should have just unique mattock and only melee attack:
Does scout needs a bow? We already have Drar with a bow.
What do you think?

Titel: Re: Scout hero for Iron Hills - Hilda Bianca finally on the MU!
Beitrag von: LordDainIronfoot am 16. Aug 2015, 10:20
I have to agree there Tienity! :) Since we already have Drar and it wil lbe kinda too OP for a Dwarven Scaout to have Bow and Axe,in that case I really like the idea with the Mattock and that as an Abillity I always thought that it was very interestign and uniqe idea of WETA to represnt the Dwarves and their resoursenfulness and clever thinking and it will be cool and interestign to see that Ability used in some way in the Mod! :) So you have my 100% support on that! :)
Titel: Re: Scout hero for Iron Hills - Narin
Beitrag von: Tienety am 16. Aug 2015, 13:03
Here is the final concept for the scout hero of Iron Hills:

Bard talked with a few dwarves in the book. New scout can be a leader of this group of dwarves.

Narin's design:

Narin abilities:

Level 1: Patrol
Narin sends two soldiers to guard the selected area. Dwarven patrol has a high range of vision and can reveal nearby hidden units.

Level 1: Fast messenger
Narin goes to deliver the message. For 10 seconds Narin deals +25% speed +25% armor.

Level 5: Souvenirs from the Battlefield
Narin collect the souvenirs from battlefield. For 20 seconds he steals with every hit heroes and units 10 ressources.

Level 10: Dain's messenge
Narin said Dain's message to enemies.
Nearby enemy units get fear effect and -20% damage for 20 second.

What do you think? 8-)

Beitrag von: CragLord am 16. Aug 2015, 13:43
Very nice preposition. :)
I like it. So only melee attack and  unique mattock, it sounds good. :)
Agree about range attack, there is Drár with bow already. :)

Beitrag von: Gimleux am 16. Aug 2015, 14:16
The idea for Narin is brillant. Nice system and much more logical (for me) as a dwarvish hero than Hilda Bianca.
Interesting weapon, I'm wondering how this attack system will look like ingame...
But I absolutely support this idea.

Not exactly. Most people want Hilda Bianca from the Lake Town as a map feature - at least. It's obvious - she is so crucial character in the Hobbit movies. ;)

He would be a perfect scout-hero for Iron hills, much better than bilbo or hilda bianca (How can anybody like her?  :D
For me Hilda was one of these useless characters in the Hobbit movies, just like Alfrid  [ugly])

I completely agree that Alfrid was useless and annoying character and should be killed by Smaug like master of the Lake Town and rest of the movie would be much more pleasant.
But Hilda is different story, she is great character, strong woman, full of compassion, brave warrior, and mainly ... mainly leader of women, old men and cripples from the Lake Town! xD

I am glad that Ea took interest in this idea! :-)
Here is the basics behind Narins Concept
The rest of the idea and the updates about it you can see on the Pages after that! :-)
Greetings and hope you like the idea ! :-)
 But to base ot over,it is Concept build around the fact that Bilbo is not suitable for Iron Hilsl since he do not have any connection with Iron Hills at all in The Hobbit,and me and Tienity based our idea on a Dwarf from Dain's Army in the Books that talked with Bard and jsut gave him a Dwarven Name we liked,thename can be changed and the Abilities and all too,it is still an open Discussion but I hope you will like the idea like whole cuz it is based on Lore Reasons and Facts and will make Iron Hills more unique and interesting with its own Scout rather than same Bildo as in Ered Luin! :)

And here you can see the final Conept about Narin as Iron Hills Scout Hero! :) Hope you like it! ;)
