Make Balrog AND Smaug powerful creatures with time limit that can only be summoned as tier 4 power point powers, but the ring removes the time limit completely.
Is there another disscussion about this...?
As far as the topic is concerned, we already discussed similar matters on ModDB and here too, along with some defined information we have at disposal (despite the natural scarcity of hints of possible improvements for the future). Smaug will be the leader of the faction (conceptually, at least) as an ordinary hero (and Ring hero too), while the Balrog will be available via the spellbook as an ultimate spell, in line with this character's extremely situational nature in LOTR and with his iconic presence in the BFME series from the beginning.
By the way, all discussions related to the Misty Mountains are gathered in a
general thread for now, waiting for more proper times to deal with proposals very specifically. There, we started addressing some valuable points that could indeed serve as a sound basis for future major debates. If you are willing to participate, you will be much welcome
I will merge this thread with the general one mentioned above.
P.S. Referring to your post, samael, dead heroes from the past that either lived in the First Age and in the Second Age or even in the Third Age won't be implemented in the game, apart from very justified exceptions. The Edain Mod is mainly set during the War of the Ring and the Hobbit. It would be really illogical to just randomly add characters from totally different timelines, especially if these said characters are dead or have journeyed to the West. Gothmog was killed by Ecthelion of the Fountain in the tragic events of the Fall of Gondolin: there is thus no reason why he should be in the game, not even via any sort of particular mechanics (as the Last Alliance spell of Imladris).
