You could do this, but make Mordor as a whole the Papal-States faction. Why would you need Sauron to be a single city? Mordor is under his direct control, not his vassal.

Why wouldn't you like the idea? Ok, so let's all agree that you'd have Mordor be the palpal states and not have Barad-Dur (Probably the wrong spelling, the tower with the eye) be separate.
So now you've got more realism. Saruman was technically a vassal to Mordor, but he eventually planned to split off and try to take power for himself. So instead of just breaking his alliance with Mordor, all those under Mordor have the ability to attack Isengard without repercussions. Together though, they can work together to take Minas Tirith (call a crusade on them, now you have all the evil factions marching to destroy it) which is in a way what happened.
The good guys can get the jihad and do something very similar. I think it's a great idea that just works with the game.

Honestly this whole "Lack of Freedom" for evil factions thing is a little ridiculous. Not trying to attack you or anything but if a game didn't have restrictions for different races in a game, or challenges, then the game wouldn't be fun or unique.
I find the fact that I can't train Attack Trolls with elves a little restrictive, or the fact that my Elves can't pump out massed weak troops a little restrictive. I don't but just pretend I do, that's a little restrictive to what you can do, but it adds a new level of uniqueness and a challenge.
This is coming from a guy who is mainly going to play Isengard, I don't mind having a little bit of a challenge when I want to betray Mordor. Don't want the entire game to be the same way it was the very first turn.

well your comparing 2 completely different things here making it very difficult to choose if you want to kill evil factions as a evil faction I think is a bad idea it's supposed to be hard but like this it would be close to impossible with every couple turns a few full stacks of orcs sit infront of your capital and dividing Mordor into 2 factions is a bad idea and making it just one with this ability would make them overpowered I think the only thing that should effect difficulty of making alliances or going to war with factions should be the way they feel about you from the beginning of the game
well no human player should but the AI when their excommunicated I see crusades called on them and then about 13 full stack armies(can be from factions still loyal to Mordor) and 1 army gets the city the other 12 pick a city and take it suddenly faction destroyed and usually most factions focus on excommunicated factions and I do too
I've never had this problem. I've been excommunicated and had crusades called on me to no avail, on the hardest difficulty setting. I don't know what's going on in your guys games.
