	The twilight reduction of {{Card\|Wild Men of the Hills}}, {{Card\|Dunlending Footmen}}, and {{Card\|Dunlending Reserve}} will be crucial in getting the most out of this minion. When combined with {{Card\|War Cry of Dunland}} or {{Card\|Anger}}, the Shadow player may be able to sweep through the Fellowship's companions in one site. Playing Wild Men of the Hills this way potentially gives the Shadow player a minion stronger than {{Card\|The Balrog, Terror of Flame and Shadow}} for {{Twilight\|2}} less (including the cost of Hill Clan), though the Free Peoples player will almost certainly sacrifice their hand to get rid of that threat if at all possible.

	While {{Card\|Wild Man of Dunland}} and {{Card\|Dunlending Arsonist}} have fairly typical stats among {{C\|Dunland}} Men, this ~~mininon~~'s strength and twilight cost are significant enough that it is sometimes worthwhile to play it in the middle of a skirmish with one of its kin. This is particularly handy when the Free Peoples has had much of their gear tossed with {{Card\|War Club}} and their main skirmisher has just lost a skirmish, as a damage bonus on this minion will almost certainly force the Free Peoples player to pick between losing a strong companion to wounds or having a weaker companion overwhelmed.

			Unlike its brothers, Hillman Clan's cost makes it virtually impossible to play both a decent minion with its text and {{Card\|Saruman, Rabble-rouser}}, though Saruman's strength boost combined with Hillman Clan's damage bonus will make even a small minion a ferocious adversary. Although winning skirmishes is disproportionately important for these minions, this minion typically receives fewer spots in a deck than {{Card\|Dunlending Arsonist}} and {{Card\|Hillman Mob}} which hit the sweet spot between low enough twilight to be consistently afforded alongside other minions and high enough strength to consistently activate their text.

			While he doesn't directly fit with the "fierce swarm" Dunland strategy of putting cheap minions out for the fierce assignment phase, he can be a worthwhile inclusion to "break through" Fellowships that have companions able to reliably beat the regular entourage. Adding a copy or two to a deck gives the Shadow player a shot at either killing a companion (or three) or forcing stops to let their own Free Peoples get ahead on the site path.
