Eagles, Dragons, and Spiders, Oh my!

I'm sure this has been posted a hundred time already but what I would really like to see is the ability to recruit aka (mercs) more specialty creatures.

Dragons
Who can hire - All Ork factions
Where - Lonely Mountain
How often - Once every 100 turns
Power - Extreme

Eagles
Who can hire - Elves
Where - Misty Mountains
How often - Once every 30 turns
Power - High

Spiders
Who can hire - All Ork factions
Where - Mirkwood
How often - Once every 10 turns
Power - Low, high AP, fast

Army of the Dead
Who can Hire - Humans
Where - Mtns between Rohan and Gondar
How often - Once every 40 turns
Power - Medium, regen between battles, fear

Anyway you get the idea and the list of units could be expanded e.g. Grond, Tom Bombdil, Glorfindel, White Ships, The Mouth of Sauron, Wormtongue, the Other Wizards, etc. etc. More of the wow factor kinda of stuff, Ents, Trolls, Sauron and Balrogs are all wonderful. Just more of them.

while i agree that there should be spider riders or just spiders as like a cav unit or a dog unit like in RTW i dont think the the engine supports flying units = no eagles or dragons

It was already meantioned about a hundret times,there WON'T be an army of the death in Third Age.

For "creature" style units, look up Alreadyded's perilicious creatures sub-mods. He dared to challenge the impossibility of these things, and is currently doing some really good work.

That.
I have tried an early version of his submod as well, very impressing.
I am sure the spiders, and/or "Shelob" will be used for 3.0 as well, and he currently is working on nazguls and eagles, so if they will be good and work good (as there are technical problems, such as flying units not being able to "fly" over things and so on...) who knows, may be they will be used in vanilla Third Age as well ?!

And yes, we have had such threads/ideas 100 times already, hence:

Yea, I seen that mod, but does he make them factions instead of just unit choices?

[Erunion Telcontar]

I think he does a lot of stuff with it. Mostly, these units are rebels. He also has sub-sub mods where they are factions/etc.
