Easterling Fire-throwers are a very unique ranged unit. They are similar to regular warriors but instead of a melee weapon, they are equipped with fire-pots, which light their targets on fire.
Spawning[]
Fire-throwers will spawn in Rhúdel at any time of day, on top of grass blocks. However, they are significantly rarer than most other Easterling units.
Behaviour[]
When idle, Fire-throwers will wander their lands at random, but should a player or NPC that is an enemy of Rhúdel approach, they will attack from a distance by repeatedly throwing fire-pots at their target, each projectile lighting the targeted NPC or player on fire. If the enemy draws too close, they will switch to a dagger and fight like any other melee unit.
Hiring[]
Fire-throwers can be hired for 60 (
) coins from a Easterling Warlord, if the player's alignment is at least +300 with the Rhúdel faction. They make for a very useful addition to one's army, due to their ability to incapacitate enemy NPCs with a single shot of their unique weapons.
