Poll: Tauriel in Edain Patch 4.2

[Ealendril der Dunkle]

Greetings Companions of Edain!

There were some discussion on the integration of Tauriel in the faction Lothlorien/Mirkwood. So we want to start this poll to get an overview of your opinions.
Please post the reasons for your decision.
The reason for Tauriels current involvement is quite simple: Each role in Lothlorien/Mirkwood is already well occupied with an appropriate hero. With Tauriel, the faction would have the most heroes in Edain, but we want to strike a balance between the number of heroes.
Nevertheless we are open to your suggestions!

We look forward to your comments!

change to permanent hero+more work= more waiting   

[hoho96]

Well so far the "summon" team is winning decisively 

[Walküre]

The summoning option is definitely the wisest and most suitable solution for Tauriel, a smart way to include her temporarily in the game 

Tauriel as a permanent hero would be a bit redundant and problematic, I guess, due to a possible conflict of roles in the faction.

i think tauriel as a summon would fit perfectly, as you already said the elves got already many heroes that filled there roles, if tauriel will be a permenant hero she will be just a useless copy from another hero that isnt worthy of recruiting, legolas is an a mass slayer with a hero killer aspect, so she absolutely cant have his role, the only thing left for her is to be a scout hero, but haldri's brothers, rumil and orophin already got that role, and one is them is archer and the other is swordman, wich is more than good, i guess they can take out mostly any other scout hero easily, so tauriel now cant be integrated as a permanent hero, but many fans like hero, so the perfect solution is that summon spell, also i dont know if her archers are resistant to trample, because if they arent, they can easily be killed by a cavalry battalion, and thus that summon power will be easily countered and mostly useless, so i think tauriel must remain as a temporarly summon, but that she and her archers must be resistant to cavalry ( only to cavalry trample so they won't die easily ) other than that i think it is perfect, and i want to tell you that you have done a really good job on the elves ,very good guys ! and thank you for creating this wonderful mod

I think she should stay as a Summon!

There are many reasons for that I am think the Team saw them!
One of them is that she is not a canon Hero from the Books and I do not think her had such big or important role anyway to deserve a full fledged Hero place!! Plus she will not be so unique and will not have such a distinguished role by herself as a permanent hero!
A Summon with some Guards is perfect for her as Captain of the Guard and with her Movie role as an kinda outlaw opposition to Thranduil!

So for me she should be a Summon  Hero!
Greetings!

In my opinion  Τauriel   is better to remain as temporary hero as in Rudedevil's video..i would prefer to increase the time that remains in game if that is possible..On the other hand if she becomes permanent lothlorien will become OP

100% recruitable. There are a few Mirkwood buildings, heroes, units.

[ThorinsNemesis]

^^I totally agree with you, ThranduiltheElvenKing - Tauriel was one of my favorite PJ characters in the Hobbit movies, I don't really understand the whole hate for her (except the love triangle); and I would really like her as a recruitable hero.
It seems though, that we would need a miracle for this to happen, seeing the results of the poll so far  .

[DrHouse93]

I completely agree with Thorins' opinion, and I have another one reason, which has a more technical reason. In the War of the Ring you don't have Camps/Castles, therefore you can't recruit Scouts. Since in WOR there are outposts and settlements only, and Lorien's outpost is occupied by the Mirkwood fortress, adding Tauriel as another scout would be a nice solution. Other than that, she can be a useful sidekick to Legolas (let's face it, even if he's a mass slayer, if surrounded by enemies and out of skills he could easily die, since he doesn't have the destructive powers of other mass slayers, such as Gandalf, Saruman and Smaug. Tauriel can instead permanently switch weapons and summon some units to support them). These are my reasons for adding Tauriel as a permanent hero, especially because we players already have enough experience with an already existing faction with a lot of heroes. It's a faction whose banner is a red eye 

[Aragorn_Frodo]

I think she should be a summon, but I also believe that if she is to be a summon, she should be able to switch between melee and bow, to give the user more flexibility in how they want to use her in the summon.

Mirkwood is in fact a SUBFACTION, not an actual independent faction.
Furthermore, its power and role in the 'geopolitics' of the War of the Ring are definitely inferior to Lothlórien's ones.

I've always liked Tauriel from the beginning as a character of the Hobbit trilogy, and I still do.
But, we should consider primarily the whole faction in general, and what would mean adding another hero for a subfaction.
The faction is called Lothlórien not without a reason, and this realm is the pivotal theme of everything

You just can't compete with the black-clothed heroes of Middle-Earth

I have no problem with Tauriel in spellbook.
But maybe Tauriel can be new scout for Lorien. I really don't like Rumil and Orophin as scouts. They are just two Galadhrim with names, nothing more. 
Tauriel, Frodo or Sam can be more interesting scouts.

Agree on that^^
