My ideas for what the Battle of the Soutland could have been.
Loved this episode, but I think it could have been much better. This is how I would have done it to make it more grandeur in scale:
-Have the battle occur in the Ostirith tower. Adar will lay the tower under siege. They will eventually break in and rest of them will flee to a nearby forest. The orc numbers will be greater than being reduced by Arondir destroying the tower.
-Numenor sends 7 ships. 3 of them will only transport horses.
-There will be two brigades going: One regular soldiers like we see and the other one is the Queen's elite guards. They will wear the same color as Miriel's armor.
-After the orcs has taken over the tower and drive the southlanders to the open field and surrounding them, the Numenoreans in a huge numbers and fight.
-More close combat between the orcs and numenoreans. A truly forest battle.
-No fake out death with Brownyn.
-Few elite guards will show how powerful Numenor really is by taken out orcs left and right with ease.
-Have dozens of silvan elves fighting alongside with Arondir.
-A short and brief fight between Adar and Halbrand.
