DLC Factions | Forums

I know its easy to get excited and start coming up with all sorts of possible DLC ideas (even though the game doesnt come out till next year for god's sake lol) but the problem is that "ancient" warfare is entirely different then "medieval" warfare, and the warriors of the separate eras hence are radically different. There is no mistake that all the factions so far (vikings, knights, and samurai) are all part of the medieval age give or take a 100 years. From what we are told the factions I believe will have no less then 4 classes, now coming up with 4 different warriors each with their own weapons is quite easy given these three cultures we have, everything from longswords to a nagitara. However, when you start tying to include say...Spartans, then we have a problem, a nation such as Sparta had only one unit type and thats it, no possibility of 4 classes. Same thing goes to horse factions,this game obviously wont have horses so thats out of the picture. the only faction that maybe can fit is a Celtic one. even Romans do not have the versatility of creating 4 classes, unless you throw the history book out the window and replace it with serious creativity (witch im entirely good with) then it can happen. All in all the team knows what they are doing and these three band of warriors are the best match ups history can offer.

Mentioned this is a similar thread, I think it still can apply. Now considering this is technically a "fantasy" type game (I believe) there still is reason to assume they will use a historic faction and add flavor to it so it can compete (my hope) but honestly I think these three could very well be all we get.

i compleately desagree. if by romans you mean only Legion romans, than yes, not much diversity but if you add say something like gladiators ( wich would totally fit in the Roman Theme) than you could potentially add WAY more than 4 classes. gladiators used an incredibly expanded rooster of weapons, including nets.

you might be right with the Spartans tough

I would love to see a Chinese Faction inspired by Romance of Three Kingdoms/Dynasty Warriors. They can use some famous weapons like Guan Yu's Blade, Lu Bu's Sky Scorcher, etc.

As long as we get Guan Yu's glorious beard as a customization option, I would be down, heh. But yeah, even though I hate the way Koei has milked the hell out of Dynasty Warriors, I have always been a fan of Romance of the Three Kingdoms and it's cast of characters.

Having a class that utilized those heavy club-like weapons that Taishi Ci uses in DW would be pretty cool. Not sure what those are called, but I remember it being used in the Ziyi Zhang vs. Michelle Yeoh fight from Crouching Tiger as well.

I think I mentioned it on Reddit but I've seen this discussion quite a few times so I'll summarize.

Throw the historically influenced fantasy out the window.
Give me futuristic dystopian human rebels, mechs, and aliens and melee weapons.
This would be able to facilitate a larger character roster as you aren't restricted by history (people would scoff if your Vikings get kusarigamas but humans as a whole it wouldn't raise an eyebrow) and you now aren't rooted to the realms of reality. Mechs could use destabilizer boxing glove-like weapons for instance and would look vastly different from humans. Aliens could have an array of natural weapons; claws, tails, maw, strange appendages. These aliens could range from bipedal to quadrupedal, to shambling masses of who-knows-what. Just keep it melee only.

I would totally be down for a Chinese faction! For that matter, the next Dynasty Warriors should be made with the Art of Battle system. It would fit the game perfectly! Mooks for mowing down, Heroes to duel, change Revenge Mode to Musou Mode and make it a special attack, etc.

I am definitely for a Chinese Dynasty and Persian faction.

You might be right with the Spartans though

Spartans wouldnt be hard to come up with classes for, I can think of 3 right off the bat. Xiphos and shield, Dory, Dual Kopis. While in reality each weapon was paired with a shield, this game doesn't strictly conform to realism so all would be viable.

I had an idea for Apollyon, she should have followers and there is potential for added weapons and characters.

Arabian knights would be good. Maybe the Moors or Janissarys. However, my top vote would be for the Mongols.

[HitMan00]

THE SPARTANS would be a good choice (they could add Kratos for ps4)

To try and keep up with the Medeivel-esque time period, I figure they might put in Persian and/or Indian warriors. Would be pretty cool if they added in Celts and Chinese warriors though, in my opinion.
