I understand that the problem lies in the fact that MP games would be affected by the fact that some gamers could utilize monster-armies to beat all their opponents, but what about making it possible for SP games only?
I've had a look at thefolders in the Slitherine engine and it seems that the files stored in the "armies" directory are somehow protected, in order to make alterations impossible.
Still maintaining this feature for the existing sub-folders like "rise-of-rome", "storm-of-arrows" and so on, why not creating a specific sub-directory, named for example "customized-army", where making the existing army files accessible, giving the chance of modding them?
The armies of this folder could be used only for SP games, giving the players the possibility to test them and to play with them, without altering the MP balance.
Moreover, the customized armies could be then submitted by the players to the Slitherine guys, who would have the chance of looking at them and inserting in the game if found feasible, thus adding still more luster to FoG (I'm already thinking about list of Muzaffarids, Jalayrids, Elamites ..)!
