Ok.... The other day i was beta testing a lotr map for a friend, when I thought about an interesting idea. What if the players didnt start with heroes? In fact, the heroes would have to be purchased on a seperate little part on the side of the map. I was told this was a horrible idea, and i should be shot by everyone in the beta testing game.... but I dont know! I thought that would be an awesome idea. If any of you have played medieval strongholds... its kinda like that. I dont know if i was the first person to come up with this idea or not, but I thought it would be neat. I was also toying with the idea of no recall. Arbs exist, but no recall for them. They are kinda like floating tanks... i dunno. I just kinda like the idea. Tell me what you think... whether you like it or hate it.
Edit: This will not be LOTR itself... but LOTRISH with castles, ect.

Well I sorta have this idea in my map already, in my LOTR Defense map. I think that it's a good idea, and it calls for the players to use more strategy instead of just sending heroes to wipe out the whole map. 
Good idea.

It's an okay idea, and it's already been used in Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-Earth (not on starcraft).

Well, first, it wouldnt take place in lotr. It would be lotrish. I was thinking i would have the heroes laid out around the square, and all the heroes were available to each player. Also... what do you think of no recall? Oh yah! and a neat idea. Everytime you kill an enemy base, a new spawn base appears for you! Spawns still are very important!!

HELLO PEN!!!
Sup? anyways, um. yeah that sounds neat, it wouldnt be classical to the typical lotr maps though. um, for your buyable units idea though do you mean like, you can only control one of that hero? or would you be able to buy a mass swarm of the same hero?. The idea sounds great ... it would stop cheap Fools from attacking, recalling, repair, Repeat. It would gives nubs like me a Chance
Ps. i Added you to my contacts list... and did that happen to be my lotr map?.. i forget.
