this suggestion is simple, using commands to change a certian factions slection of allies and enemies.

this would allow for custom RP to go to much greater depth on servers, allowing you to do things not allowed by the current system we have, such as making all of the best trolls in the mod do a battle to the death to see which troll can out-troll all the others. or making gondor fight rohan, or making a senario where saruman (in this case probably represented by a player on a server) decided to double cross sauron early and ally with gondor and rohan with the uruk-hai.

this would be done with a few simple commands

note, when i put (insert faction name), i mean the offical name used when you use alignment commands.

making one faction the ally of another. /lotrally(insert faction name)-(insert faction name).

making 2 factions neutral to one another. /lotrneutral(insert faction name)-(insert faction name).

making 2 factions enemies. /lotrenemy(insert faction name)-(insert faction name).

changing everything to default settings (AKA, the allies and enemies of factions before commands were entired) in 1 quick command. /lotrdefault

note, when you change the allies and enemies of a faction, the area of influence where you can gain alignment from killing things stays the same.

quest changes.

i know what your thinking "but sir, what if the mordor orc gives me a quest to kill gondorians when the 2 are allied?", simple, they wont, when a kill quest is given and it would be of a faction that was changed to an ally by commands it will instead pick a random faction from the list of enemies that faction has, this is to make sure that you can still murder things and gain extra alignment even if gondor and mordor are freinds.

final thing, when you change one factions allies to some guy who was previously their enemy and vice versa, there will be no diologe changes, orcs will still want manflesh, dunland will still call rohan a bunch of strawheads, gondorians will still talk about a shadow in the east and so on and so forth.
