A long line of mail-clad men, swift, shining, fell and fair to look upon. [...]

The Men were tall and long-limbed; their hair, flaxen-pale, flowed under their light helms, and streamed in long braids behind them; their faces were stern and keen. In their hands were tall spears of ash, painted shields were slung at their backs, long swords were at their belts, their burnished shirts of mail hung down upon their knees.

–The Riders of Rohan, The Two Towers

The Rohirrim Warriors (Sindarin: Horse-lords) are the men of Rohan, who call themselves the Eorlingas (meaning the sons of Eorl the Young, first king of Rohan). They are also known as the horse-lords. Rohirrim Warriors spawn only within the boundaries of their fine lands.

Spawning[]

Rohirrim Warriors can spawn throughout Rohan day and night, but only ever on grass blocks, and as a result, they will never spawn underground. They will most often spawn on a horse of Rohan, unless they are defending a Rohan Fortress or Rohan Watchtower.

These warriors are equipped with a full set of Rohirric armour, and can utilize all sorts of Rohirric weapons. These include spears, bows, swords, battleaxes, and daggers. The cavalry also uses deadly lances on many occasions.

Behaviour[]

Rohirrim Warriors are most often found on horseback, and when mounted, move much faster than the player can sprint – even the Wargs of Mordor cannot outpace them. They have a sight range of 16 blocks (24 when riding a horse).

When an Eorling sees a player or NPC with negative Rohan alignment, they will quickly attack them, often knocking the entity into the sight range of other Rohirrim.

The Rohirrim Warriors also show much value for their mighty steeds, protecting them by attacking anyone who kills a horse within their sight, regardless of alignment. But be wary, they count any horse-like mob as a horse, including ponies, donkeys, etc.

All evil NPC's target them. When they aren't fighting, Rohirrim Warriors will slowly wander randomly through their lands, although they typically don't go very far.

Attack strength[]

Weapon Damage (HP)
Spear 4 ( 4 ) (melee), 5 ( 5 ) (throw)
Sword, Lance* 4-5 ( 4  to  5 )
Battleaxe 6.5 ( 6)

*Only mounted Rohirrim will ever wield lances.

Combat Strategies[]

If you, as an evil player, end up being chased by mounted Rohirrim, you will have to act quickly if you are to survive:

  • Avoid entering Rohan without a mount. The Rohirrim can ride much faster than you can sprint, and speed will be essential for survival. If you simply walk into Rohan, you will probably be killed in less than a minute.
  • When fighting, do not hit the rider! If you hit the Rohirrim, you will not deal any knockback, and will be charged down. Kill the horse first, and deal with the rider later.
  • If you're not mounted or your mount is slain, don't run unless you can get to a safe place. It's better to stand and fight, because you will not be able to outrun the Eorlingas. Only run if you see a safe spot (cave, dense forest, etc.) close to you.
  • If there are mounted bowmen around you, don't charge at them. Use ranged attacks and pick them off.
  • Use powerful units (mounted Uruk-hai Crossbowers, Olog-hai, Mirk-Trolls, etc.) to aid you in your campaign.

Hiring[]

Rohirrim warriors can be hired from a Rohirrim Marshal in a fortress of Rohan, given that the player has a high enough alignment with Rohan.

  • A Rohirrim warrior (not mounted) can be hired for 30 silver coins with an alignment of +150.
  • A Rohirrim Bowman (not mounted) can be hired for 50 silver coins with an alignment of +200.
  • A Rohirrim Cavalry unit can be hired for 50 silver coins with an alignment of +250.
  • A Rohirrim Bowman Cavalry unit can be hired for 70 silver coins with an alignment of +300.

After hiring a unit from a Rohirrim Marshal, the player gains the achievement "Forth Eorlingas!"

Advantages[]

  • Best horses in all of Middle-earth
  • Extremely fast unit when mounted; can outpace almost any NPC (or player)
  • Not overly expensive, considering their strength

Disadvantages[]

  • Not especially strong when not mounted
  • Moderate armour
  • Banner-Bearers cannot be hired as a mounted unit

Drops[]

Evil players may kill Rohirrim to acquire bones. The horse-lords may also rarely drop their equipped armour or weapons. Killing these men in their towers isn't very hard to do. Just take some matches to it!
