Balin wasn't the Lord of Moria in the timeline of the Hobbit
Although in the description Balin has "Lord of Moria" ... 8-|

Maybe minor bug.
And even on level 6 is reference about Moria/Khazad-dum:

So it deserves some better descriptions, otherwise is timeline problem.
But back to general discussion about him, I have sometimes funny moments with his teleport ability. It seems that he is very skilfull sorcerer, and finally I know what "Balin, at your service means" - because it should be "Balin, teleport at your service" :P ...

Seriously - are we able to find something better for him? I am not supporter of passive abilities in general, but maybe some passive bonus fits there, because although his role is supportive and in addition has palantir for runes, so all of his abilities are only active.
In the description for teleport ability is something about expedition - why? Expedition has completely new, important and real concept. It seems that his skill is only remnant of previous version.
I think that teleport skill finds better place in Wizard cah submod. In addition Alatar has teleport as well.
I agree, Balin is not a wizard. Teleport is not fit for him. [ugly]
Maybe Balin can have this ability on level 3:
Balin's Chariot: Mount/Dismount on chariot. Balin will drive his chariot.
Also, maybe Ori, Dori and Nori ability can work differently on his chariot. They can be crew for Balin's Chariot.
Balin will probably drive the Dwarven Chariot in EE:

So, all dwarven subfactions will have something for faster transport:
Ered Luin: Balin's Chariot
Erebor: Dain's battlewagons
Iron Hills: Dain's boar
What do you think about this idea?
teleport of Balin, thats awesome abilitie
Well, definitely is! And it seems that he doesn't use common transport rings but that Balin uses better technology (at a higher stage of development) - it looks like Asgard transport system. :o :P

so why remove it?
Not remove it but replace it by something more suitable. For instance some battle wagon as Tienety suggested or something else.
I think Balin is a good hero supporter and also have his teleport.
Yes, ... also has his teleport, ... teleport ... :o ... try to write it too - teleport. xD
Balin as a dwarf has "teleport" ... :P
I have nothing against it, because as I said: "Balin, teleport at your service" ...
I love it because it brings you a enormous advantage to get enemie archer, outnumber them, help an allie quicly, i mean this abilitie was and is a core on my tactic with ered Luin, and is very funny, and give the slow and armored dwarves of ered Luin the chance to move quicly and make something no hoped.
I forgot to mention it - although Balin is only "medium hero" and you can get his teleport ability very early, it seems that such ability is extremely useful - maybe even OP. When we checked him we tried to some things with him as well, but you described him perfectly and more in detail. ;)
balin was the lord of moria for sometime why not put him in erebor with his lord appearance
Balin can't be in Erebor because there is one problem:
He is dead in Moria at the time of Lord of the Rings story:
