What are some of the dev teams favorite new units in Rise of the Witch-King?
Amir Rahimi: In the Rise of the Witch-king, a new type of unit is introduced that is called the Mini-Hero Horde. These are highly elite units that have some characteristics of heroes and some characteristics of hordes. Like heroes, they have special abilities that become available as they level up and they auto heal when theyre not in combat, but like hordes they are built from production buildings and come in groups rather than single units. Each existing BFME2 faction gets one Mini-Hero Horde. The most popular among the dev team is the Men of the Wests Knights of Dol Amroth; a highly elite group of cavalry. At level 2 the Knights give a leadership buff to surrounding cavalry and at level 7, they become highly invulnerable and can crush and kill most other units for a certain period of time.
