Behaviour[]
Like most of the mod's ranged units, Bladorthin archers will use their bows to attack enemy entities, but fall back should their target get too close. They will ignore a player with 0 or above alignment with Dorwinion. Note that unlike other Elves, they will not switch to melee at close range.
Hiring[]
These units can be hired for 70-140 silver coins from a Captain of Bladorthin provided you have at least +300 alignment with Dorwinion As per usual, cost decreases as alignment increases and halves if you pledge to Dorwinion.
| Advantages | Disadvantages |
|---|---|
| Great health and decent armour, making them enduring to hits | Expansive compared to what other elven factions have to offer |
| Have a better range than the crossbower vintner guard and could easily snipe Orcs by afar | Not as effective as the powerful crossbowers of the Vintner Guard |
| Immune to poison | Can only be hired into Dorwinion, which is very far from the Shire |
| Their bows are a bit less powerful than high-elven and galadhrim bows, so they suffer less of the "arrows passing over the heads of Orcs" bug, making them more viable than their western kin. | |
| Don't require any pledge, making them very accessible compared to other elves of the Middle-Earth | |
| Alert the players on presence of enemies with a "Dago hon!" warcry |
