Maybe there should be heroes, like in Warcraft III. Special characters who lead armies, level up, have special abilities and can be ressurected at the resurection totem. Like Abe, with the power of possession, for starters. Alf, who can cure sick mudokons of their SoulStorm Brew addiction- mudokons working for the industrialists. So that The opposition's entire workforce can be made to haul asss over to your side in a mass exoddus. Stranger, who can send the smaller "swarm" squadrons flying towards the enemy at high speeds, and embues the Grubb units with greater stats and morale. Munch, who is able to make random wildlife units on the map join his cause.
Molluck, who can interrogate captured soldiers, lifting the fog of war from enemy base camps. Humphrey, who can upgrade friendly and captured units into horrific mutant creatures. Aslik, with the power to bitch. And so on and so forth in this manner...
