[SUGGESTION] | Make Scourge armies use more ghouls #633

DO NOT REMOVE PRE-EXISTING LINES

Describe your suggestion in full detail below: I don't know if this is a bug or a deliberate choice, so I am marking it as a suggestion. My problem is that the Scourge gets severely overpowered if the player doesn't interfere in it's conquests VERY early on. From my experience, it only really uses ghouls when events spawn them (like the Plague). In other cases the Scourge actually has a WAY better army than anyone.

  1. It can pump out a lot of retinues (like 30-40 thousand) and it gets an insane amount of troops from vassals if it manages to solidify it's rule. 5
  2. The ratios of unit types in it's armies are almost exactly the same as their enemies'. 2 1
  3. Their morale is way better than normal. The pictures show that my flank has about 120000 max morale with 11000 men and a general with a martial skill of 25. The enemy has about twice the men, has a general with a skill of 12, yet they have more then three times the max morale I have. 3 2 4

I think the balance would be way better if the Scourge used more of it's shitty special units (ghouls), because that way they could actually be beaten. Also, this is the size of the Scourge seen in the images:

I would wait till https://github.com/Warcraft-GoA-Development-Team/Warcraft-Guardians-of-Azeroth/pull/8 is finished. It will change the balance and to be honest, I expect the Scourge to be UP after it.
