Hi everyone. Just to be clear, I really like the Fellowship as the Ring hero unit of Imladris. But I also think having the Fellowship as an Imladris unit creates a problem, because I also wish that some of the Fellowship could also be temporary summons.
For example, it would be incredibly cool and unique for Imladris to have a temporary White Council summon. However, we couldn't do that at the moment because there would be potentially 2 Gandalf heroes present in the same faction at once. Is there a way to code it so that Gandalf disappears from the Fellowship and appears with the White Council if such a power was activated? My gut reaction says that this wouldn't work, but it would be neat if it could.
Also, I would love for Arwen's final power to be replaced with a temporary Aragorn summon, because I think the banner is a little underwhelming. But again, we would face the same issues as before.
So I wanted to see if anyone had any ideas for ring hero alternatives.
Some that come to mind:
Tom Bombadil, Guardian of the Ring...permanently summons Tom Bombadil to the map as a controllable hero. In the books, it was suggested that Tom be given the ring, so that is where this idea comes from.
Elrond the Blessed: Elrond rejects the ring and is blessed by the Valar. Similar to Galadriel's or Saruman's "Blessed" feature.
Bilbo Baggins: Permanently summons old Bilbo to the battlefield at level 10, with a variety of useful abilities. He wouldn't be empowered by the ring, but would be given incredible stealth capabilities.
Rivendell's Blessing: Elrond rejects the ring, granting the Valar's blessing upon Rivendell's heroes. Grants a large discount for heroes and buffs the armor and damage of all heroes on the battlefield.
So, anyway...like I said, I really like the current ring hero. But, if we could find another good alternative, I think Imladris would benefit by being able to summon certain members of the fellowship in other powers.
