A Berber/Moors styled Faction would be interesting.

Who were the Moors?

If the term seems familiar from art and literature—but still confusing—there’s a good reason.

Spain - Muslim Rule, Reconquista, Culture

Spain - Muslim Rule, Reconquista, Culture: In the second half of the 7th century ce (1st century ah), Byzantine strongholds in North Africa gave way before the Arab advance. Carthage fell in 698. In 705 al-Walīd I, the sixth caliph of the Umayyad dynasty, the first great Muslim dynasty centred...

Go to west, cross the sea (ships/warships, commerce through the water, pirates?), and fight against aztecs, mayans etc.

I'm not so much concerned with income, but rather flavor of the world and basically stuff to do if your faction is not at war. Warband mods that add stronger neutral factions are great because they give you army progression tiers that do no involve other lords.. "oh, now I can deal with mercenary companies, great!" Stuff like that.

I absolutely agree that looters should stay as weak enemies, what I'm suggesting are mid to high-ish tiers bands of neutral hostile armies that roam the land for their own goals. Perhaps rogue knights or deserters

Right now, if my king doesn't feel like fighting anyone, I'm stuck hunting looters and bandits forever, which really is somewhat of a flat experience.

Not sure why people keep mentioning Ethiopia and other African nations as options for DLC. North Africa was annexed by Islamic invasions beginning in the 7th century, there are no other viable options for a loosely based semi historically accurate "African DLC" or expansion. Tribes in Africa had similar technology levels to those in North America in the 11th century which is evidenced by the almost complete annexation of the entire continent by European powers after the high middle ages. Look at the tech levels of the Zulu tribe during the battle of Rorke's Drift, that should provide an adequate example.

Warband was Crusade adjacent. Bannerlord is not.

Yes, I'm already thinking about what new factions can be added in later on.

1- An Ethiopian-inspired faction, taking up the aesthetics and feel of 4-8th Century Aksum and Himyar, maybe even with a nudge of Egyptian flair (very appropriate for the Nubians too). Let's call it Kush.

2- A Persian or Indian-inspired faction heavy on foot archers and heavy infantry. Let's call it the Padishash (Rhaegea is said to come from "the realm of the Padishah" in the game files).

3- A "holy order" style of faction similar to the Teutonic Knights, the Hospitallers or the Templars, maybe set in the empty land down under the Nahasa desert, at the coast.

4- An expeditionary Chinese or Japanese force, based on the Treasure Fleet of Zheng He.

5- Early Medieval Iberia? A man can dream.

There's a bit of an empty spot to the east -- my guess is that there might be plans to add the Padishah faction there, as well as open up the map a bit eastward, but I think that would be post-release DLC type of stuff (so it'll be a long time in the future).
