Nomadic Armies

[Sun Jetzu]

So I was thinking of maybe bringing this back from Rome Barbarian Invasion. In the sense that there could be Nomadic armies wandering around the map. They have a leader and warriors normally full stack. Majority of the warriors would be just peasant types. When they end turn they make a temporary town wherever they are. no defenses just huts. You can sack there town for alot of slaves and gold, same goes when you defeat them.
Each tribe is named different and has a mix of ragged units.
They are attracted to the lands of super powers.

I personally like the idea of nomadic armies of poorly equipped but well spirited warriors wandering around and looking for easy spoils.


What would be even more interesting would be if you could hire or bribe them to harass one of your rivals. Say, like if I as Rome wanted to be a dick to my enemies down in Carthage, I could give them(a nomadic army) a donation and a free ferry-ride across the Mediterranean.

Or while playing as a Barbarian faction, you could invite them on one of your raids into a richer land, like "FOLLOW US, BOYS, AND WE'LL SHARE TEH LEWT ... No ninjas!!"

I love that idea! It be a way of attacking your enemy without declaring war lol

sounds good, however with the limited amount of armies per faction it could make the game significantly harder.
