A few weeks ago I found out of the existance of such things as Tauredain Pikes, and I though: "Wait, when are the Tauredain ever going to use pikes? In a jungle enviroment they would be useless!" And that  got me to think. Why are we constantly adding new weapons and units, when they wouldn't make sence for that faction! And why do all Factions seem to have the same basic roster?! Why are we adding units and weapons for the sake of adding units and weapons!

So, this isn't much of a suggestion as it is just a talking point, but shouldn't some factions be far more, say, eccomicly based than others? The thing is, a faction like Dorwinion shouldn't have a Unit base, or overall Military, as it is more of an Economic faction, where players who join that faction can earn a lot of money, but can't get many good units. On the other hand, Mordor would have a terrible econamy, but lots of really cheat, moderatly good units. Same goes with Dwarves. The Dwarves have wonderful heavy infantry, so having no cavalry would make it much more of a challenge. Sorry Boar Fans, but it adds a difinitive reason to join a faction. This would  help people choose what faction they want, instead of struggeling with choosing from a bunch of Factions which are all practically the same.

An example of a Faction that has fallen to the Bland virus is Dale . There is literally nothing interesting about them, which leads to practically no-one wanting to join them. However, by, say, making their infantry weaker and giving them, say, some of the best archers for their price, people would want to join them because of how good their archers are. An example of a faction that have got it half right are the Hobbits of the Shire. They have very weak units, which lore-wise very much makes sence. However, barely anyone wants to join them because they don't have a lot else to offer. However, if, say, farming was very easy there, people would want to join the Hobbits a bit more.

In conclusion, I belive the Mod could really use some ballansing the the way shown above. Thanks for reading,  LordDainTheAwsome, King under the Mountain  (send a raven!)
