Unique faction gameplay

Hey all

A very good sugestion made a long time ago by Lordinquisitor concerning unique faction gameplay:

OOTMM

-Gameplay like the apaches in the america campaign. The goblins should get new buildings, units and technologies for killing enemy units or plundering towns.

Isengard

-Isengard should get more diplomats, spies and "priests" than the other factions, save mordor. Isengards power shoulnd`t focus simply on military might, but also on witty diplomatics and the slow corruption of others.

What do you think about the idea of some factions having more epathis on non-battle related gameplay features like those above? Or perhaps some factions relying more on mercs than traditional troops?

This would also fit better with the lore for many of the current factions, like orcs being scavengers, isengard relying on mercenary bandits to counquer the shire, mordor relying on spies and corrupters etc.

Thats a very good idea, all it needs is someone to do it though. If this was done i would actually play as ootmm

Made over 9000 times and KK already knows about this suggestion.

I think Isengard should have a lot of spies because Gandalf was saying that Isengard had a lot of spies everywhere.

A lot of spies = instant win.

Should Isenguards spies be birds? How hard is it to make a model of a bird and use it as a spy for Isenguard?

It would be A LOT of (very boring) work to balance a campaign like this. Some of these would completely ruin the campaign, which I am sure is why no one has done it.

However, I have already modded the campaign immensely giving each faction relatively unique start positions, missions, rebels, mercenaries, etc. Basically a unique campaign game for each faction, with new regions and unit locations, and it's all from lore so that is a plus.
