Mevans has indicated he would make this an option: either with or without use of spheres of influence. He communicated that with people involved in the creation of a modmod, aimed at creating alternate worlds / eras based on the mods Middle-earth. So, we should assume this is planned.

Note that the spheres of influence affect the opportunity ti get positive alignment with a faction by killing the factions enemies.
