1) Evil invasions are so populous in Eriador with Angmar, Rhunfar, and Gundabad. May I point out there should be Blue dwarves, High elf, and maybe even hobbit invasions. This balances out gameplay already.

2) Next Rangers already cost a metric-buttload of alignment 300 for a simple ranger and 350 for banner bearer.

3) If lore truly rules over all then what about the white downs? I'm just saying balancing does overpower lore in some cases. Also Ranger armour is a good armour for camouflage and changing it to gray would be to similar to Lothlorien cloaks. Also lore states that the Rangers used brown and green cloaks to stay better hidden. It also mimics the movies portrait of them. 1. What Recneps said.

2. Then if they are improved, they should cost even more. If you have a better way to balence them, please share.

3. The White Downs are canon. What is wrong with them.

Also, the green and brown Rangers you are thinking of are Rangers of Ithilien, because Rangers on the North aren't in the movies. Here is a book quote about the Rangers of the North. "A little apart the Rangers sat, silent, in an ordered company, armed with spear and bow and sword. They were clad in cloaks of dark grey, and their hoods were cast now over helm and head. Their horses were strong and of proud bearing, but rough-haired... There was no gleam of stone or gold, nor any fair thing in all their gear and harness: nor did their riders bear any badge or token, save only that each cloak was pinned upon the left shoulder by a brooch of silver shaped like a rayed star.
