Alright, first this suggestion is mainly centered around men-factions, such as Gondor, Rohan, Near Haradrim and possibly Dale. It can however be extended to other factions

It seems improbable that man-factions would use exclusively heavily armored knights in combat. If we look closely at the books, and at real life medieval history, we find that the main bulk of most armies were composed of semi-lightly armored foot soldiers, rather then the heavily armored, mounted, bulky knights who are likely rich nobles and commanders. I propose that in addition to the knights, who would replace the warrior-type unit of most man factions (and maybe not use daggers anyomore), foot soldiers would be smaller, weaker units who don't spawn mounted and maybe even have weaker armor, their helmets would look more like this. They would be cheaper in both coins and alignment, and would give less alignment upon death. The knights could also be buffed somewhat. I also think it unrealistic that basic citizens should blindly charge an army with nothing but a dagger. Would that happen in real life or LOTR? Of course not, they would flee first. So citizen-type mobs should flee from players with negative alignment or enemy NPC's and only attack when hit.
