you know how you can modify NPC spawners from the LOTR mod in creative mode to spawn certian units with diffrent buffs and debuffs and such, i would like that functionality expanded so you can edit commanders you can hire units from as well as editing merchants.

this would work like how you can edit NPC spawners by right clicking them in creative mode.

editing commanders.

first up you spawn in any guy who you can hire units from.

right click him in creative mode and you can see a thing saying "edit unit hiring NPC" or something.

then you can edit his faction, what units he sells, his base prices (before alignment) and such.

if you edit his faction the units he sells will be modified veresions of that unit loyal to the commanders faction, say if you switched a gondor captians faction to mordor the units he sells would automaticly be an edited version alligned to mordor. (for unit and commander speechbanks though idk what they should do, its not like your trying to be realistic if your in creative mode in the first place though, if you dismiss a hired unit from a custom commander i reccomend it should despawn the moment you dismiss it to prevent any confusion with mini quests and such as that would be too much of a hassle for the game to deal with).

for editing merchants its kind of the same thing.

being able to change its faction, what items the merchant sells, his prices for those items, ect.

this feature would be great say for a custom RP senario on a server, say you wanted to be the lord of a group of exiled elves serving under sauron or the chief of a roving nomadic band of orcs rebelling against the witch king, or being the commander of a band of gondorian trators serving the men of harad, the possibilites are kind of endless and this commander and unit customization would allow for more diverse interactions on servers.

this system would use the already working system of how you can modify say what a structure spawns or the stats of the units spawned in by a spawner in creative mode.

im open to any opinions on how this could be improved, for one does not simply make a suggestion on the forum and expect it to be put in the game without any edits.

thats all, see you in middle earth!
