Brief Isengard Suggestions

About Saruman when he obtains The One Ring:
Give us an option to choose which version he would become(just like with Galadriel when she pick up the ring, players can choose): the Blessed or the Cursed.
I'm suggesting this because most of the time when I play I get Saruman the Blessed. I only have gotten the Cursed twice and that was back in Edain Mod 3.8 and 4.0. Mostly it's the Blessed version.
The_Necromancer0:
I support this. It's not a major change (I suppose) and it wouldn't improve the user experience, especially since Ring Heroes are mostly only turned on during fun games and rarely during competitive matches.
Walküre:
It would certainly be easier to put Saruman in front of a choice and then let him choose his destiny. The tricky aspect is that Galadriel can 'afford' to choose in the first place because she undergoes the final test of her life in Middle-earth: the very choice symbolises the magnitude of her will and ambition (and her awareness of the relative terrible risk), regardless of the One Ring's lure.
Saruman, on the other hand, falls literally under the obsession for that artefact, in a sort of relationship I always regarded as submissive. In his obsession, he thus forgets the implications of a possible usage of that item and the unfavourable outcomes that may derive. The current system reflects the uncertainty motive well, in my opinion; that is, it's not really known whether he will be capable of mastering the One Ring or whether he is to be subjugated by it.
Gandalf7000:
What I think is that the Ring mechanics of Saruman can be tied up with Spellbook power "Saruman of Many Colors". What I mean is if Saruman obtains the Ring while that power isn't bought you get Saruman the Blessed (because esentially then he isn't allied with Sauron) but when you get the power "Saruman of Many Colors" he is (as the description says) "a puppet of Sauron and he directs all his wrath against the free peoples of Middle earth" and then you get Saruman the Cursed. This would be a reversed version of Gandalfs ring mechanics which imo can be allowed since Gandalf and Saruman belong to one order and they both desired (at some point) the Ring.

If this is technically feasible, it might certainly be more acceptable, despite the resemblance to Gandalf's mechanics. That might be a uniqueness issue.
