        If you want different units for the houses, just
check out the old Dune 2 computer game (the precursor to
Warcraft, C&C, etc). You could control house Atredies,
Harkonnen, or Ordos (a sneaky house invented for the game).
Each house had access to a large pool of troops/vehicles,
and also had some specific units usable only by that house.
