Minion VS Heros

[Nerdmeetsyou]

Who do you think is the better alignment? or are they both the same power level?
and why?

One thing I think that is spotting that all the minion characters are much more powerfuller... you get more prowles and skills for less mind and they even cannot be corrupted that easy...

whats the negative side of beeing minion???
or hero???

[Ringbearer]

WHat is more powerful... it is all in the eye of the beholder. It depends greatly on the level of player, I must say.

And dont fade out Fallen Wizards. They are played widely too.

In general the minion items, factions, allies are worth less. Also items tend to give more corruption as well.

Hero Factions are also far easier to influence than Minion factions. Also, character specific strategies abound on the Hero side (Return of the King, King Under the Mountain, etc.) and are far harder to find on the Minion Side.

I disagree. Items indeed are generally worth less and provide more corruption, but I'd say Minion factions are just as valuable as hero factions, maybe a little more. Allies are probably on par. While heroes have more 2 point allies due to all of the ents minions do have allies that are worth just as much as the hero ones. While their high-mp allies might be harder to get than Tom I think this is balanced out by the the ease they have in picking up a lot of 1point allies.

I think the advantages heroes have are big-MP plays such as King Under the Mountain, Having an active wizard, kill mps, One-Ring decks, etc. Minions have advantages in prowess, multiple cards playable at sites, and less danger among other things. As far as which alignment is better that depends on who is playing

[Nerdmeetsyou]

but isn't the ringwraith just the same active if you play a Morgul horse on him????

[Sauron]

Not really. The RW can only use starter movement.

[Ringbearer]

A Ringwraith with a Black Horse (thats the one you mentioned) needs to follow starter movement IIRC. Not region movement.

[Nerdmeetsyou]

can he move with other charcters then?

[Ringbearer]

That is mentioned on the mode card.
