OberFuhrer, the Hobourg Special Hero!!!

[Cohen]

I've seen this hero for the first time in a game.
It's like a Solaris or Satina.

He's a Hobourg with those stats, if someone wants to put him as special hero in the Hobourg Nation:

7 HitPoints, size 1.
Morale 10
Base Encumbrance 4
MR 14
Str 7
Att 14
Def 17
Precision 10
OkLeader (25)

He's equipped with Black Steel Helmet and Full Plate.
Astral Serpent and Bracer of Defence.
Boots of the Messenger

AND an unique item obtainable only via wish:

Shortsword (not so short however)
2 handed weapon
12 Damage, *3 vs larger beings.
3 Att
4 Defence
2 Lenght

This weapon adds too and Air Shield (80).

I've seen him too, tough little bugger.

What exactly does Oberfuhrer mean? I know ober means over, or superior... I think. Is it German?

Fuhrer, or führer, means simply "leader", so Oberfuhrer would be a superleader or leader of leaders or something. The word fuhrer does have a rather nasty ring though, due to a certain german who denounced existing titles and just wanted his people to call him "the leader".

That's hilarious, especially the 2-handed shortsword that does triple damage to larger targets!

wasn't the hoburgmod from illwinter themselves ?

nasty . either they don't know how bad this meaning really is or they have a very strange humor or worst case they are nazis

an explantion for the people who don't understand german / or have no historic knowlegde of 1933-1945 .
tuna-fish meant that hitler himself called him führer .
but if i remember right there was also SS-ranks like sturmgruppenführer , obersturmgruppenführer ...

so a really really stupid and bad choice for naming a hero .
if illwinter really has developed that mod themselves cause the description "This mod replaces Ulm with the Hoburg Alliance. It is mainly an example of how modding works. Feel free to modify this mod" suggests this they should remove this hero immediately because it is nothing but total crude .

The original Version is. The special edition Version is fan-made.
