Perhaps "scirmisher" games might be possible. Involving small groups of
soldiers and monsters rather than big wars. The effects of sin enchantments
on group cohesion (how of like mind the LR unit is)will have to be
considered. Battles with goblin and orc units will be rather nasty in this
regard it strikes me.

"For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the
midst of them."
-Matthew 18:20
Perhaps LightRaider units will have a "group cohesion" whereby they are
strengthened by their ability to watch each others back and be of one
purpose. Dragonslave and Dark Creature units might be more powerful
dependant upon how dreadfukl their unit commander is.

Thoughts?
