I know having dwarves in dwarven mines hireable has been discussed by me and many others before. If you want, I will go more into that later, but I was  thinking of an AWESOME way to build a realistic, no cheat, and lightning fast way to BUILD up an EMPIRE (maybe not empire, just epic game, but EMPIRE sounds cooler :P). This is kinda copying Mr. Crawfish's Construction Mod, with a few changes for a use in Middle Earth, but his mod is in 1.7.2. The design would  be no different from the regular mod set up. The only things that would be different would be the textures and names (see the mod here ), along with the physical building and pre-programmed designs (currently, they are stuff like village libraries, but in the mod it would be the non-ruined structures. Instead of using a hammer, you would hire workers and an architect from your respected faction. You would give the architect the blueprint in his GUI, then you would press confirm. You would give the items to the NPC like a quest, it would automatically take all the necessary blocks when clicked. You could find what was still missing in a quest like section of his inventory. When you have given all the necessary items, you press build and a translucent model of the building full sized pops up in front of you, like a preview.  You use the arrows to move the structure one in any direction, and you turn it in the direction you want it to face. Then you press enter, and all construction hired NPCs in the architects' squadron surround the perimeter of the building and walk around. They don't physically build it, but they will be holding blacksmith hammers or other related tools and it will slowly rise, layer by layer. Every builder can build 10 blocks a minute unless different types of builders build at different rates (Ex: uruks build quicker than other orcs because of their strength). Each builder in the squadron combines to reach the total speed like if 1 is 10 blocks per minute, 2 is 20, and 3 is 30. When the number of blocks in a layer is reached, they go to the next layer. This continues until it is built. The miners come in for the materials. It would be extremely easy to build extremely large structures with hired miners getting materials. Hope you like my idea!
