I might write something nonsensical or absurd right now, but I would create a city (something like the Tyranids from Dawn of War, you know, the mutated spiders and insects – if anyone hasn't played Dawn of War). The main feature of this city would be that the units would NOT use gold at all, but would be recruited using something like dark energy from Heroes of Might and Magic V.
Yeah.
Of course, from a design perspective, this is still a bit of a mess, but there are also some positives.
