An alternative for Thorin's Company's regal armors

<< < (2/5) > >>

I think the Company in Botfa armour would be great, but I disagree with this idea. There would be too many heroes even if only they would be summoned heroes. This spell also doesn't fit with Ered Luin. Only Thorin and a few dwarves from the company came from Ered Luin. Yes, the royal armour more fits with Erebor, but it would be pity if it disappears.
I saw an armour what would better suited with Ered Luin, but I think the team won't change the current armour so radically.

or this:

Bombur:
Read more closely ;) . I proposed this spell for the Iron Hills subfaction (Ered Luin already has the normal versions), and, about the "too much heroes" probelm, I proposed to make the Company a hero battalion like the Fellowship ringhero from Imladris.

I apologize    :)

So it is not such a bad idea.

Bombur:
No problem :) .

Walküre:
Apart from replying to that untrue statement, I didn't express myself yet about the topic of this very thread. I will immediately make up for it and so give my sincere feedback.

Just to point things out in the straightest manner, I don't agree with the proposal. Although it's certainly possible to consider that spell under a lore-based perspective and to feed from the evocative cinematographic atmosphere of the Hobbit trilogy (a quality I often advocate with interest), there are some gameplay issues that could arise due to such choice. That is, we're talking about the conceptual differentiation among the three Dwarven factions: each faction is unique because it exactly boasts elements that the others can't dispose of. In this precise case, the Dwarven Company is the heart of the Blue Mountains and the most unique trait of the faction it correspondingly belongs to. Therefore, those heroes ought to remain an exclusive feature of the Blue Mountains only, even if your proposal is to implement them as a single hero (thus, via different mechanics).

I wouldn't be opposed in principle to suggestions aimed at tying more loyally the game to the films, but the problem is that we're not referring to units that might be shared by two factions, but rather to the iconic pillar of a certain faction itself. It would thus be like having Galadriel be implemented in Rivendell via the most diverse devices or Sauron be playable by Isengard. Furthermore, I believe that Gandalf serves well his current role in the spellbook, because his is a very wanderer-like of a characterisation; in two millennia, spent in journeying across Middle-earth, he did have the chance to visit plenty of places and get in touch with many realms, whose rulers have always acknowledged the Istar's prestige.
