Invasions are fairly simple in the LOTR Mod so here are some ideas for different invasion types.

Wars

- Wars would be multiple invasions that would occur in the same biome over a long period of time. Wars would be shown on the factions part of the LOTR Menu where it would state that two factions are at war. To better explain wars I will give you an example. Let's say Mordor declares war on Gondor. At that time 2-4 Mordor invasions (which could include sub factions like Nan-Ungol and Black Uruks) would spawn. At the same time 2-4 Gondor invasions would spawn. These massive battles would occur frequently over the course of 12 hours. The map would also have tinted regions to show which regions are at war.

Sieges

- Sieges would start around fortresses (e.g. Rohan fortress, Gondor fortress, Hradrim fortress, Dwarven towers, Hadrim Towers, and other defensive structures.) and banner protected areas of the enemy faction. When a siege begins, camps of the sieging faction. They would then use siege weapons (when implemented) to take over the structure.

Raids

- Raids would start around villages, and prison camps (when implemented to other factions) and camps. Raids would consists of 2 invasions that would be countered by an invasion of the defenders. If the attackers succeed in killing everyone they will set fire to the now occupied structure and replace enemy banners with their own. The loot would be taken.

Extra structures, items, and troops - Another troop that would be added would be kings of certain factions. These kings would now sell War Horns for 5000 alignment and 5000 coins and siege horns for 4000 alignment and 2000 coins. They also would replace captains selling Horns of Conquest because they would sell that.

- Builders would require 500 Alignment and would sell builds like camps, prison camps, and fortresses for reasonable prices.

Please Note Wars, Raids, and Sieges would not spawn in highly defended and/or peaceful areas such as Mordor, Lindon, The Shire region, Dol Guldur, or Dol Armoth.
