The Dwarf Holds | Changes to Isengard 132 The Dwarf Holds | Isengard Spellbook133Changes to IsengardPart V:The White HandIsengard has seen several changes from the base game. As with otherfactions, we have added new heroes, new units and revised the spellbookto avoid duplicated Mordor spells. The units we haven’t changedhave of course received new models and textures.We’ve also removed Fire Arrows for Uruk Crossbowmen - an upgradethat didn’t really make much sense. They now have their own uniqueupgrade. Isengard can still access Fire Arrows through Uruk Scouts.In terms of accuracy, Uruk archers - both Crossbowmen and Scouts - arequite precise, nearly equalling Men. Siege changes are considerable. TheBallista is now very accurate, with high damage. It has lost much of itssplash damage though, so makes a great weapon for picking off single,stationary targets.The more simplistic siege weapons are now more attractive. Batteringrams have had their health and armour increased with a small cost decrease.Siege Ladders now cost no Command Points, but are limited tofive at a time. They are also cheaper.The next section details all of these changes.Prerequisites:New and Revised Isengard SpellsStorm of Orthanc3 PPReplaces Tainted LandFrom the top of the tower of Orthanc, Saruman’s masteryover the weather allows him to call and command greatstorms.
