Thranduil/Thranduil with armour/Thranduil's deer On a side note, I also thought that Gandalf could be given his staff from the Hobbit movies for the two other Dwarf subfactions. ģ) Blue Mountains Thorin would no longer get his regal armor at level 10 and therefore his style would no longer clash with the other members at level 10 and Orcrist would no longer disappear.Ĥ) If you think about it, the only Dwarf army that was present when the Company used those armors was Dáin's, so, in a sense, giving them that incarnation of the Company would make even more sense than to the Blue Mountains. Also, you could get Thorin and Dáin fighting alongside, which is almost as awesome (bromance !!).

It also would have several advantages:ġ) Obviously, it would bring those armors and weapons to the mod, and I think that, despite our disagreements regarding their fitting into the Blue Mountains ambiance, we all agree that they are awesome armors and weapons !Ģ) It would allow the player to fight with the whole Company at the full extent of their power, which is a bit hindered with the Blue Mountains because some of the members are only 'subheros' (and Bombur only cooks ). This would make sense lore-wise because we don't know of any time where Gandalf helped Dáin and the Iron Hills in the period in which the subfaction is set (unless you count BOTFA itself, but he didn't really came for them). Actually, this could be even cooler than separate heroes while being more balanced and easier to manage than 13 temporary hero with all their powers to use in a brief time. If you have to keep the same number of units, make them a hero battalion like the Fellowship. I also know that it's not possible to give different spellbooks to the Dwarven subfactions, but I saw in another thread that it was possible to change how the spells works, like changing the content of a summon, so I think Gandalf could be replaced by this for the Iron Hills only. However, I thought about another way to include them in the mode and this is what I came up with: maybe a spell could be given to the Iron Hills subfaction which would temporarily summon the whole company of Thorin Oakenshield at level 10 in regal armour. Well, I know that the team already refused several times to include the regal heavy armours and BOTFA weapons of all Thorin's Company because they felt it does not fit with the Blue Mountains factions (which I don't agree because they are only heroes and that's not like you were transforming all the units I don't see any problems to have generals / captains being more well equipped than their troops, but hey, your mod).
