New League Idea (essentially Dungeon Keeper-esque)

Is there a way we could have a league with some kind of "Dungeon Keeper" flavored mechanic to it???

To start I really like the Settlers mechanic of building something and enhancing it over the entire course of a league. The league mechanic grows and grows and gets more powerful over time in the league as you 1. enhance it, and 2. better understand how it works. I also like having an initial reward when you login.

Idea:
Could be a Settlers-like mechanic where you set a dungeon over night, or over some time duration, you provide the bait (e.g. your own currency, divines, or something else you sacrifice) and the exiles or rogue exiles attempt to raid your dungeon/treasure chest to take the bait. Better the bait, the more exiles/stronger exiles show up. You would hire minions and traps to defend your dungeon and protect your loot. When exiles die in your dungeon, then you can take their loot! (similar to when we kill the rogue exiles they drop items). You could event have characters of streamers/etc celebrity exiles come into your dungeon on rare occasions. This may need to be a league-long mechanic of continually upgrading and enhancing your dungeon.

Maybe its not a dungeon, maybe its simpler than that like a tower, or a map, with traps in it. But the basic idea is lure in exiles, hire monsters /traps/bosses, provide bait from your inventory/currency, and collect loot from deceased exiles. Lets clean up all those rogue exiles wandering around Wraeclast!!!!!

Maybe you can even walk into your tower dungeon and you see the dead exiles, click on their corpses etc. Imagine collecting a tier 0 unique from some dead exile.

There's alot of ways you could bend the idea to better fit POE but depends on how well the core idea holds together. (for example make it a minion focused league like Monster Hunter / Pokemon go around and collect monsters, then put the monsters in your dungeon! kinda like beastiary just release the beasts in the dungeon) I don't know if POE has already tried something like this before.

-1.....00000000. Please god no. Settlers was... acceptable, but stop trying to make POE not POE. Go play an RTS if you want to play an RTS.
