Forth Eorlingas! OP Movie Rohirrim for TDD
"Now for wrath, now for ruin and the red dawn! Forth Éorlingas!" – Théoden before ignoring conservation of momentum
Unarguably, the charges of the Rohirrim (both at Helm’s Deep and on the Pelennor Fields) are the most epic cavalry scenes and awaken great emotions in any fan of LotR. Now, with The Dawnless Days finally releasing their outstanding Helm’s Deep map, it’s time to re-enact these legendary moments in Total War!
If you’ve played the game or have basic knowledge of physics, you know that a bunch of horsemen cannot move unharmed and unhindered through hundreds of pikemen in heavy armour. Frontally charging deployed Uruk-hai Pikes would annihilate even the most elite cavalry, which is the exact opposite of what happens in the movies.
Fortunately, you can use this mod to change that: Rohan’s cavalry is now able to charge unhindered and mostly unharmed through dozens of enemy units. It’s even possible to ride out of Helm’s Deep if all paths are filled with Uruk-hai heavy infantry.
To achieve this, I applied the following changes to Rohan’s cavalry:
– Increase charge bonus to over 200
– Increase HP to over 2,000
– Gave the "giant" type to their horse entities = can move unobstructed through all units
– Gave the "Great Knockback" and "Immune to spears" trait
If cavalry gets stuck in a unit, simply give a different move or attack order (= pull through). They will get through any unit with ease and trample anyone in their way.
Note: this mod is utterly unbalanced and not intended for any kind of competitive battles.
Load order: on top of TDD packs. Version 0.7 of TDD is required.
