Rise of the Witch King

I'm not entirely sure what you guys generally think of this upgrade, and therefore, I'd like to elicit some information from you. If possible, post your motivations.

Exp overhaul will affect this.

Though I don't think it'll affect it in such a way that it would change the status quo.

For 100 you'll get black orcs with bloodthirsty and 25 extra health. For 150 you'll have 100 HP extra for snow and hill trolls etc.
Maybe it won't change immediately, but people draw conclusions pretty quickly when they notice there's no disadvantage at all anymore for leveling your units.

True. I think units such as Snow Trolls deserve the bigger bonus. They are expensive, you've got to get what you paid for.

Banners are really useful in 2.02, especially for Mordor, Angmar and MotW. You can revive almost dead units, get access to special abilities and mobile healing for very low price.

It's useful but still too pricey. There's a lot of potential for this upgrade but it should cost 100 as it does for Mordor and Gobs.

All Banners Carrier personal upgrade costs will be set to 100. So that means all factions will now share the same price.

sounds gay for cavalry. but right, cavalry is not that important here. just a stronger rush unit.

Exactly, OP for 1.08 cavalry seeing that they're mega armoured battle tanks (I'm envious). I think this change will integrate well into the patch.

nah, bfme2 1.05-forward rivendell lancer looks as bad like the rotwk one. (probably rotwk one is stronger due 12 unit horde)

I think Rivendell Lancers are relatively the same in terms of strength and durability. They did cost 450 at some point. Interesting fact. Also, FYI, they definitely come in a battalion of 10 (as they do in BFME 2). 12 would be glorious, but nah.

I thought all cavalry hordes were standarized to 12 units on rotwk (except cow riders)

The only really COOL thing bfme2 1.05 left for rivendell lancer, is that they gain a speed bonus on level 2. and knowing they share same speed than rohirrims, they become the faster cavalry-horde in the game . and, when upgraded with heavy armor they don't just gain double armor, they also gain another 30% armor bonus. So cool, this is why i like 1.05/1.06 systems. (it's a pitty that extra armor bonus was removed on bfme2BT2DC)

You must be thinking of the elite archer battalions. They are recruited in a group of 12 (except for Mirkwood Archers).

Ah yes, I remember that speed boost. I always liked that. It give them that edge. Hang on, so with the Heavy Armour upgrade, they gained double amour plus 30%?

I think there is missing an importamt answer in first question. "Sometimes" or sth like that. I think many people would vote for that instead of the other answers.

I wanted a more absolute answer so I left it out in this poll this time.

You corrupt like politician. #revolution

Pay me large sums of money discreetly and I shall rig the poll.
