I agree with Fredius but still to concepts for Grimir look to "ordinary" he is supossed to be something like a Leader of te Ered Mithrin Dwarves so may be a little more Noble Looking Designs is better he may be a Dwarven Nobleman who took over after Durin's Heirs took off,this is all my idea since the Cahracters is non canon!
So I think this might be a godo Concept for how Grimir/Gorin can look! But with White/Grey Beard!
or this...
Now about his Weapon,while Spear is the most logical Weapon for Mosnter Fighter it just does not fit at least into mine idea of a Dwarven Hero,so for weapon may something Two Hadned with like bigger range and area attack that can do a lot of damage to a Monster similar to a Spear! So why not something like this...
or this...
Now I agree with the German User and thank him for the nice and friendly reply which even gave us a directions how to improve the idea and I can say to him that he may offer any ideas he/she have!
About the Soldiers from Ered Mithrin,I think the indeed should be limited to 3 to express the fact that Ered Mithrin has limited man power/soldiers and are not some mighty Dwarve Realm like Iron Hills but just a Stronghold/Collony!
And here is some designs that I think will look great for Ered Mithrin and may be Orocarni even...
The Ered Mithrin Soldiers should be only Spearman and Crossbowman no need for Guardians(they will keep them fro home defense after all they do not have such great Army
)
And I have an idea for the Spearman which I do not even know if it possible but I will say it,if it is possible they can a Special Formation "Monster Slaying" where the form a Shield Wall in a circle around a Monster(suround it) and use their Spears to which will do exra DMG briefly with CD or as a Permament Formation untill you break it! Or alternative Ability "Spear Throw" they trhow their Spears dealing Extra DMG to Monsters and can be used ONLY against Monnsters! While the Crossbowmans will not be able to get Fire Arrow Upgrade but will have somehow similar to Ered Luin Crossbowmans Ability called "Dwarven Steel Arrow Heads" or just "Dwarven Steel Bolts" which will briefly do Extra Damage but only against Mosnters again!?
What do you think of those ideas!?
The one on right can be used fro Ered Mithrin but with some Havier Armor for Upgrade may be!While the left one can be used for Orocarni and the Gold/Yellow parts will symbolise their big natural greed ,to me atl east it makes sense and looks nice!
And they indeed should be Heavy Armored in Comaprison to Iron Hills to compansate for their lack of Armor but indeed be slower and basicaly do more DMG against monsters but not against Units because that is Iron Hills main Strentgh
About Grimir/Grorin Ability I really like your idea but I could add giving the Soldeirs a little boost in DMG too briefly of course!
And if I may suggest that he can have a Summon Ability but not just Summoning Soldiers like Battalions but rather few Soldries like 5-6 looking like this...
That will surround a Monster or just be Summoned infront of it and making one strike at him with Iron Steel Arrows which do Great DMG to a Single Target Monster and then dissapear!Or the same concept can be used but with this Weapon...
And I have a suggestion if the Team wants a new look for the Assembly Halls rather than the based on the Vanilla Fortress one,they may use this with few adjusments to the style of the building with more Edain Dwarvish Style...Collons,Statues and etc.
Here are some even better designs for the Assembly Halls but again with some Color and Shape Adjusments to the Edain Dwarven Style as I said above!
And I agree that one Ranged Hero is enough for Iron Hills which makes Bard not needed and somehow unbalanced compared to the Erebor and Ered Luin!
Also I want to say that the basics of this idea is not just add more kind of Troops but rather give apropriate and more lore friendly versions of Lake Town units but with Dwarven Vision and thus showing something more of the Dwarven Realms and will give unique Outpost for Iron Hills which is like with 1 stone 3 rabbits! All I mean is that it is just for the sake of Diversity and Uniqueness of Each Realm and the Soldiers are just supposed to be more fitign versions of Lake Town Units but more sutied and lore friendly with the Iron Hills!
All this are just ideas and suggestions and anyone who has some ideas being from German or English Forum is welcome to say them here so that we may be able to improve the concept more to the Team's liking and increase it's chances to get used in the Mod!
I am waiting for feedback and thank you all in advance!
Greetings from the Lord of the Iron Hills!
