The Company of...Eight?

[The Dark Lord]

Ah you know whats best xp did the team gave you a awnser?

[Tienety]

I'm a little improved my old idea: 
Glóin already has an great abilities, so I think Dain is better choice for summon ability.
Now in 4.1.1 is Dain most expensive hero in Erebor. Also, I think that King Dain need something more unique on level 10 than building with units from three dwarven subfactions. These units are available in all dwarves subfactions. I have an idea for something more interesting for him:

King Dain(Erebor)
Level 10: Old Warriors
Dain summon legendary companions of Thorin Oakenshield to the last battle. He summon permanently hero battalion like Black riders.
The hero battalion contains these heroes: Nori, Dori, Bifur, Bofur and Dwalin.
I think rest of the Thorin company probably also defended Erebor against easterlings in book.

Of course, they should have gray/white hairs and beards. Also, they can have Erebor armors and weapons from movie:

Old Warriors abilities:

Level 1: Spear
Bifur throw spear against enemies.
Selected enemy unit or hero gets moderate damage.

Level 3: Thief
Nori is an experienced thief. He steals resources from the selected enemy building.

Level 5: Professional warrior(passive)
Dwalin is professional warrior and inspires dwarves on battlefield.
Nearby dwarven units gets more experience from slain enemies and resistance to fear.

Level 7: Wine
Dori gives the wine his companions. Old warriors will restore half of their health.

Level 10: Bofur's speech
Bofur tired of enemy with his speech.
Nearby enemy units gets -20% armor and -15% speed.

One ability for every character in the battalion. You can have only one battalion in game.

What do you think about this idea?

While I like the idea very much and especially the part that we are going t o have those cool Movie Armors I wonder if that becomes Dain LV 10 Power what will happen and how will his role as King Under the Mountain and that he is able to call upon "The 7 Armies of the Dwarfs" be presented in game if not with those Barracks!

If this is necessarily. Citadel in spellbook can have this function. So, you can recruit here units from all subfactions like in old Dain's barracks. 

[LordDainIronfoot]

I find it absolutely fair! It is lore wise that only the King Under the Mountain to be able to do that not evey Dwarf Lord and that represnt King Dain II "Authority" as heir of Durin with the title !

Maybe I have a solution:
Dain can summon permanently two battalions of Guardians(one from Ered Luin and one from Iron Hills) on level 3.
And Balin gets his old transport battlewagons on level 3. So, No more teleport for him. 

[LordDainIronfoot]

I like the idea about Dain it sounds good and reasonable,but how about to summon 2 battlions 1 of Ered Luin Defenders and 1 of Iron Hills Slayers!?
And I still think Balin should get his old Leadership,after all he is a Veterann fro mmany battles and wise Dwarf with leader qualities!

[TiberiusOgden]

It's not possible. Balin is Middle-earth teleport guy.

[LordDainIronfoot]

Balin is a Startrek telleporter show some respect! He will open an Transport Company "Durins Line Express"with one way tickets to Moria

[Tienety]

I think that this is too strong for level 3.

And I still think Balin should get his old Leadership,after all he is a Veterann fro mmany battles and wise Dwarf with leader qualities!

Yes, maybe leadership is better. Transport battlewagons can be new improvement for standard battlewagons. Maybe all 3 subfactions can have new special improvements for battlewagons:
Erebor: Transport for heroes
Ered Luin: More armor for Ram and battlewagons
Iron Hills: Something with more speed for battlewagons

What do you think about this?

[LordDainIronfoot]

I like the idea about the Battlewagons! It will be cool to have more diversity!
About Dains Summon well may be it can be on LV 5

[Tienety]

About Dains Summon well may be it can be on LV 5

Maybe this:
Dain summon two battalions of Guardians on level 3 and if he gets level 10, he summon two battalions of elite units(Ered Luin Defenders and Iron Hills Slayers).

[LordDainIronfoot]

That sounds right and good!I will like to have that ability!

[Gandalf The Gray]

I like currect system for Ered Luin. I think this heroe group(similarly like Black riders) would be suitable for Erebor. Maybe Dain or Gloin(on level 10) can summon permanently or temporarily all surviving members of Thorin company (Dwalin, Bofur, Bifur, Dori and Nori). I think rest of the Thorin company probably also defended Erebor against easterlings in book.

Of course, they should have gray/white hairs and beards. Also, they can have Erebor armor from movie:

i think this is an awesome idea mate

[Linhir]

So... there's just Bombur who's omitted. Yes, yes. I know that until War of the ring, he became so  fat, that he wasn't able to stan by his own. But... maybe rest of old mates could carrying sedan-chair with Bobur in it. :v

But afterall, idea of heroe battalion like this is epic.
