Mae govannen fellow Edain fans,
I wanted to propose a slight alteration to Cirdan of the Imladris faction. I feel that his ability 'Into the West' is good, but could possibly be fine tuned.
The ability granted to Durin, to 'send a unit to Khazad-dum, returning as a veteran' is a great concept and the inspiration for my proposed alteration.
Instead of Cirdan teleporting units across the map, what if he sent the target battalion into the west. After a duration, and respecting the current CP, a more powerful unit returns to fight for the free peoples.
Thinking about how some Noldor sailed into the West, lived and learnt from the Valar and then chose to return to Middle Earth, I felt that this idea felt accurate within the lore. In regards to what unit returns, I initially thought a 'Veteran of the Last Alliance' unit however feel that does not fit. Noldor returning to Middle Earth is also rare too, so I would propose a new unique unit, limited to only 1 be the unit that returns from Cirdan's ability. I was thinking of the Elves that protect the Resting Camp from the spell 'Journey to Valinor'. The wiki says they are powerful units that deal AoE damage.
Curious what other's thoughts are. Looking forward to reading Middle Earth loremaster's points of view :-)
Thank-you for your time.
