Replace faction.

Right now, the most difficult thing for me is to come up with the concept for a new Faction. I want them to fit into the game and, at the same time, be unusual compared to other races. It's difficult right now, especially with the creatures and abilities. There are many interesting abilities, for example, the Jarl's Flame Strike. If I replace the fire texture with blood, I can give that skill to someone else. Another problem is that I don't know how to balance them. I was sitting in school for 3 hours, thinking about the Tier 1 creatures, their characteristics, visuals, etc. I also want to give the Tier 3 and Tier 6 creatures two creatures each, with different focuses. For example, in Tier 3, there will be mages and archers, with one upgrade, because I don't have any ideas on how to change their upgrade. I was thinking that maybe in the third window, in the hiring table, I could replace it with a button, and when clicked, it would change the upgrades. Something like 3 heroes with the HotA mod and their factory, where there were 7 Tier 2 creatures but with alternate upgrades. I don't know how to implement this yet. It seems like there's already a similar button in the game, when upgrading or downgrading a creature in a city, but I still don't have enough knowledge, so I'll have to do it with workarounds.
In general, I would like to make the Faction more interesting because the idea of gaining an advantage in battle through damage is an interesting concept. It's a shame that the balance is off, but that can be fixed. And I'm making this mod just for myself, but I'll still upload it to the internet, in case someone likes it.

I would also like to know if it's possible for one hero to have two racial skills at once? Or, for example, to give the corpse absorption skill from the Demons to other races. I would try to combine the demon summoning and give some creatures the demon ability so that certain heroes could summon them. That is, I really want to create an unbalanced Faction with 3 classes: 1 class focused purely on blood, 2 class that nerfs blood and nerfs summoning, and 3 class that will be... I don't know yet. First, I want to know if this is possible, because, for example, it's possible to give a hero a center perk from another race through the console, and a racial skill is a separate part, so I don't know.
