Would it be possible to mod Isengard to have a unique culture?

after all, saruman never really viewed himself as a servant of sauron so much as a potential competitor for the throne of middle-earth. would it be possible to give him a unique culture, maybe called the White Hand or something?

his versions of settlement upgrades could provide more economic output at the cost of public order and high squalor, for example, and maybe he could get some unique perks like higher levels of development for Mines and/or buildings that reduce the times towards getting your next units.

I always find those invasions damn annoying, especially when playing with the OOG and you have to attack Dol Amroth..... though they can be very useful.

I believe there is one slot left for another religion/culture, so it is possible. I like the idea of Saruman being independent of Sauron. The only downside is that you wouldn't be able to join an invasion.

You could make the Isengard culture the Islam equivalent (changing Dwarves to whatever the surplus one is) and give them a single Imam with enough piety to launch a jihad. Still wouldn't be able to take part in Sauron's invasions but they'd get invasions of their own.

Set the Imam's movement speed to negative so he can't actually change settlements' cultures.
