New Faction !!???!!??? | Forums

[Karma_Ghost]

It would have to be a faction though otherwise, how would they be added to the territory battle system.

Seeing as how anyone can play anything for any faction in the faction war already, factionless warriors would have no impact on the faction war. Mercenaries without a faction wouldn't change anything other than having a separate salvage pool.

Also, logically, if they're mercenaries, it wouldn't even matter what faction they would work for anyway. Their loyalty would be to money.

umm.. ok.... get out.



oh wow.. ok that's pretty cool.. so I guess we had the right idea. But come on there's totally room for a new faction in the future. Doesn't have to make sense neither. I mean Vikings vs Samurais.... they can easily add a Native American faction in there, they were purely melee combatants.

Okie bye.

There are so many variations of gladiators that they could be their own faction.

I'd love to see Celts but I think they would be too similar to the vikings. You could have a Celtic gladiator though.

Exactly as KarmaGhost said.
Right now it wouldn't make any sense anyway.
And as I said, I'd rather see the improve the game first before simply adding a faction in a more or less meaningless faction war.
Maybe it will make sense once they overhaul the faction war and then I'm up for it.

There is so many options, apart from the typical western late empire romans..., that could fit in the time gap of vikings, samurai and medieval knights... (I know it's fantasy, but at least a little coherence)

byzantine soldiers


Persian soldiers



Vandal and Alan (and other barbarians)

A Persian and an Indian faction would be both a great add to the game. Both empire had beautiful and unique weapons and fancy looking armors. They are both very recognisable and exotic, a nice contrast imo to the current 3 factions.

I think there are not many options to cover all classes but maybe if you release just 2 classess per faction (like R6 season pass) then maybe they can go for more exotic stuff,. As for full compliment of classes i think there can be Roman Empire, the Eastern one aka Byzantine, central/eastern Slav (althrough central were kinda similiar to Nords due to close trade relations), Arab Empire (eventually Ottoman one) and I think that's it.

But like I said, we can probably expect max 2 classes anyway

I know improving and implanting game systems is priority and it should be. But in about 4-5 months, even if the game is at its sharpest and full of new battle modes and perhaps bigger battles (i.e. Addition of Servers) I think it would be refreshing to have a brand new faction. Mercenaries and new warriors are ok, but if they were to add a Persian/Egyptian or Native America type of warriors, it would be really sloppy to just brand them as Mercenaries and put them just anywhere. That's like writing a nice 4 page paper on something and then adding some more stuff by sticking poster stickers to it. Give the damn race/group their own faction. Again doesn't have to be now. DLC for the summer maybe =)

The roman empire like hint could also be a reference to the holy roman empire.

The statue hint said, that the iron legion is based on an empire, that had its roots in an ancient empire, that matched in legions. The holy roman empire would fit that description and wad already around, when the Vikings were active.

Basically Germans, Italians and Frenchmen.

It's not gonna be Germans. There's a classical Roman Empire centurion on the season pass picture. He's got the helmet and a freaking Gladius. It's not debatable.
