Quote: Interesting. I can’t think of any other hate cards in the cultue, but there’s certainly nothing wrong with it.
Quote: what does shire have to do with dunland?
Well, I can’t think of much specific  hate in any but Gollum and some Wraith, if I remember right.
Anyway, the Stoors had settled right up on the rivers by Dunland in roughly 1100 in the third age for about 200 years. Surely there was some conflict between the (relatively) large Stoors and the Dunlendings.
I suppose Chieftain’s Hides would work for the title. I don’t think removing threats would be a good change, unless you can point me to a Free Peoples card that removes threats to do something...
Quote: Glad to see someone else not afraid of making allies! This one’s pretty good, too.
Quote: way overpowered. make it 3 vitality, and only cost 1 IMO
The thing I like, is having it be splashable as a Hillman Dunland Man, but to be fully effective, it needs  companions to be truly useful. Much like a number of  allies...
And I’m fairly confused by your statement sickofpalantirs... It’s overpowered, so I should drop the cost and make it have more vitality?
As a side note, I will be adding numbers/rarities as I finish the cultures. The One Ring and the culture will be having them added first. |

Spammers really are amazing creatures. You can learn all there is to know about their ways in a month. And yet, after a hundred years, they can still surprise you.  |

Make a mounted Man strength +3. You may exert that Man to return this event to your hand rather than place it into the discard pile.

Let me say up front that I’m not a fan of Wargs...despite your namesake. I would think they would use horses, if anything. But I’ll give these a fair review anyway, and if you decide to change them to horses or something, I think the text would still work.

I’d either limit it to companions or say "exert each character skirmishing him" or maybe even "each opponent’s character". Because right now, there’s no way a minion would ever be given this.
BattleWarg wrote:  Wolf of Dunland

To play, spot a Man. Bearer must be a Man or Orc.

DR24
Again, I’d change the text somehow so that minions can get some benefit from it, though that may just be me.
Also, I would recommend giving this a mild strength or even vitality boost to justify the cost. Because right now, unless you’re desperate to get your Orcs mounted, this would never see use thanks to the other mount above.

You can leave off "rather than place it into the discard pile", because Decipher has done the same with cards like Broken in Defeat and No Worse for Wear. Nice event, though. Gives a very good reason to get them mounted, though they could probably use one or two more events/conditions that help. |

Updated.
Quote: Because right now, unless you’re desperate to get your Orcs mounted, this would never see use thanks to the other mount above.
Unless you want to get an Easterling/Southron, Orcs/Goblins, the traitorous Rohirrim...
Of course, they’d also have mounts of a form as well, so... (except maybe the goblins of Moria...)
Quote: though they could probably use one or two more events/conditions that help
Yeah. There’s a few more that help, but aren’t specific to mounted Dunlendings.
With the culture, they’ll be able to get boosts from cards boosting  (and possibly  ) mounted characters... |

Well, I’m adding lore as I go now, as I’ve found my Lord of the Rings book - if anyone has lore that will fit a card without, feel free to suggest it.
Down to the last of the cards - I’ll probably switch to a new topic for the Dwarves, so the reviews for any of the Dunland cards should be in this topic.
The first is a simple companion that gets a boost from the hardest to affect cards in the game - both your own and your opponents. He also has high resistance for a Dunlending.
•Chieftain of the Hill
Companion • Man
8 Strength
2 Vitality
4 Resistance
Hillman.
Chieftain of the Hill is strength +1 for each artifact you can spot.
DU5
The next is the second ally, who is useless without others, but an obvious choice with them.
•Deallus, Deep Spirit
Ally • Home Site 3M • Man
3 Strength
3 Vitality
Regroup: Exert Deallus to heal a ally.
DU7
Of course, pillaging isn’t much without burning. This next card allows you to burn your opponent’s support away.
Dunlending Torch
Possession • Hand Weapon
+1 Strength
Bearer must be a Man.
Each time bearer wins a skirmish, you may exert bearer to discard a possession in an opponent’s support area.
"Flaming brands appeared over the brink and clustered thickly at the breach."
DU10
The final card doesn’t stand out much, but is more well-rounded of a Dunlending - a generic type, not hillman or savage, but with a couple of other Men, has the strength of a higher twilight cost.
•Perchen
Companion • Man
6 Strength
2 Vitality
4 Resistance
While you can spot 2 other Men, Perchen is strength +2.
DC18 |

Wow, I can’t believe I just missed all these cards. Sorry, man. Better late than never, eh?

Yikes! Leamon is now a beast! Maybe make it cost .

The skirmish ability makes no sense. You forget a couple words or something?
BattleWarg wrote: Ally of the Hand

Bearer must be a companion.
Fellowship: Exert bearer to heal Saruman.
’"That old hatred Saruman has enflamed."’
DR2
Just as a minor note, for lore, if it’s a quote of something someone is saying, the double quotation marks go on the outside and the single quotation marks go on the inside, "’like this’", not ’"like this"’. Might be hard to see, but trust me, it’s there.
Anyway, as for the card, I’m not too keen on the title, and it should probably be a "limit one per beaer" thing, but it looks nifty otherwise.

I like how it isn’t limited to weapons. Good stuff. Helps represent their pillaging nature. 
BattleWarg wrote: Wild Men

Make a Man strength +2. If he wins this skirmish, place this on top of your deck.
’The fierce battle-cries of men broke out.’
DR23
Again, if the lore is a quote from one of the books that is NOT something a character is speaking, then it should be in double quotation marks, not single.
I’d recommend making that second part optional by putting "If he wins this skirmish, you may place this on top of your draw deck." That’s something you may not want all the time.

As long as you plan on having another ally or two in addition to Dunlending Gatherer, this is fine. Otherwise it might not be worth it.

Unless you mean to include him, it should be "3 other Men". If you meant to include him, then it’s probably still better to do "2 other Men".
Nice cards. Can’t believe no one has reviewed this until now. Shame on us! |
