Brief Dwarven Suggestions

[Hamanathnath]

I am glad that we can all agree that it would make sense with the lore. 

So i guess that balance would be the concern.  I can understand why adding the Dragonslayers may be a problem.  But maybe if they just added the hunters and zealots?  I don't think that they would make Erebor too strong late game, because remember, King Dain must be lvl 10 to summon the Assembly Barrack.  So I just think, becuase this meeting is supposed to include all the dwarven realms, Ered Mithrin should be included in that. 

I would be glad to here peoples opinion, and thanks to the people who have already replied.

this is a small suggestion for Iron hills.                                                                                                I think Dragon slayers should get their icon moved next to the mini map; like  the Lorien Singers.                                                                                                                                       It is way too hard to find them during a full battle (So you can micro them, and choose specific strong single targets for them to kill)

I agree, this is really nice and reasonable suggestion.

Erebor Axethrowers need some sort of scaler vs Beornings. I watched a replay, and the erebor player couldn't counter them at all. (He tried to get dale, but the bearning destroyed it in a second).

because i saw a suggestion for different rams for each factions there are some rams interesting i think

ERED LUIN




EREBOR



IRON HILLS

[CragLord]

Yes, they look interesting. First two are male of wild sheep species,and third one is goat used in movies.
Main reason why I won't like to see them in game is because they are almost same (as models) and only in color they are different.
In our chariots suggestion, we have suggested very unique species which correspond also to different dwarven realms in better way, in my opinion. Also there is color corresponding etc.
I don't know have you checked that topic?

I saw it but I couldn't refund it so I posted it there

I´m not sure if this was an intention, but when you play Erebor, there is the Thorin's picture (from movie) as an icon for Bard. It would be nice if you could replace it by Bard's picture :-)

I think Glóin should receive a new hammer. The current one looks just too unrealistic. It looks more like Warcraft than a game which is supposed to have realistic physical sizes.

Here are some pictures:

Personally, I agree with you, hammer looks really big and a bit unrealistic, but maybe we shouldn't reduce its size to some realistic dimensions.
Maybe his weight isn't so great concerning fact that maybe hammer is in one part made of mithril for example. Simply maybe size is also justified from fact that Gloin wear special hammer with which he is able to make earthquakes etc.
After all this is siege weapon, and Gloin is Lord of siege from Erebor.
Just giving possible answer for its size.

Agree with Craglord, Gloins a dwarf, dwarfs are strong  . Just for his lvl. 10 ability the size is justified. And without his hammer you wouldnt even identify him in a big dwarf army...

[Melkor Bauglir]

Just for his lvl. 10 ability the size is justified.

I think if you want to justify this ability purely by realism, his hammer is actually about 95% too small. I mean, I love the earthquake and Gloin's abilities, but stomping the earth in order to create a shockwave is pretty silly as far as your name isn't Toph Beifong.

Therefore I agree, that Gloin's weapon is too large. I once watched a video where they forged a hollow Mjollnir (Thor's hammer, in this case the Marvel Thor) and even then it was pretty heavy. Gloin's hammer is way bigger and it certainly looks like massive steel, so I'm pretty sure no dwarf, men or elf would be able to lift it.

Speaking of Glóin...
What about instead of maintaining his grey beard/hair, why not make him bald and give him back his red beard? It would still be Peter Hambleton's Glóin, but photoshoped to be bald instead of photoshoped to have grey hair/beard. I think it would look better and cooler, and it would also approximate him of the original BfME Glóin, a mixture of movie and game.

P.S. I'm sorry the picture is huge, praise the spoiler button!

[LordDainIronfoot]

I actually prefer Gloin as he is in Appearance!And the Baldness was something the Dwarves never sufered from,there wre no Bald Dwarves! And you will say Dwalin right!?But Dwalin has tattoos in the Movies and we can ssume he could shave his head but I donot think Gloin would shave himself!

It is just not canon and I don't like it so much but thats personal taste!

Greetings!
