<p>The Sturgian forests are forbidding and cold, but great wealth lies within. Wild honey can be found, and bog iron, but the real prize has always been fur. For centuries, brave traders ventured there to buy the pelts of fox, rabbit and ermine from the tribes of the woods. As the empire expanded eastward, that trickle of traders became a flood. Great towns sprung up on the rivers. Fortune-seekers came from the coast, from the steppes, and most of all from the Nordlands. Tribal elders made alliances with the newcomers, sealed by wedding vows, and with their share of the trading profits hired mercenaries to subdue other tribes. Sturgia became a collection of principalities, then a kingdom, the great powerhouse of the north.</p></br> [/parsehtml]Read more at: http://www.taleworlds.com/en/Games/Bannerlord/Blog/39

Well in the Novgorod Republic people had a right to appoint city figures and even a prince if necassary.
Oh, it's hard to read with a translator. I spent about two hours reading 6 pages ... And it's not a fact that I understood everything correctly 
Guys, the developers of TW, thanks for Ancient Russia!
Here is a little Vika about the veche in Russia:

Dear developers! I have some questions for you.
Tell me, please, when you worked on costumes for this faction, then where did you get the information? I learned from you that there will be subfractions, because it's hard for me to comment on the screenshots - because I do not know exactly who is on them.
Russian costume of that time (9-11 century) is very difficult to find, but there are detailed scientific descriptions and reconstructions. I can try to show you something from a Russian costume (if you need it and it's interesting), but it will take some time.
Another question on the screenshot with the soldiers. I see snow fog or dust ... What is it really? Look, the first warrior is seen clearly, and the rest are in a snow haze.
And yet, answer, when the soldiers are walking on the grass, their legs are hidden in the grass - so it was on the video and on other screenshots.
So why do not your feet sink in the snow at all? About the footprints in the snow do not ask ...

Quite right! In the Novgorod Republic, the people's assembly (Veche) could choose and appoint a ruler (Prince). Veche tried to lead the rich city-merchants. But in Veliky Novgorod for very long remained real, people's democracy (not as it is now in the world).AmateurHetman said:

Ohh city council, nice! Hope to see more depth in city management other than talking with one lord
What if you could become a member of city council.
I would lovw if you could become a.member of thw city council or somth BECAUSE M&B has always been about war and nothing wrong about that but it doesnt give you any other way to playplay..I guess yes you can become a merchant but it wouldnt be as interesting as being the aadminister of a faction and if you're doing a good job getting promoted and decide more serious decisions like peace and war or accepting and removing a lord from your faction? Can you guyst imagine (after some hard work and dedication to your faction..) being the right hand of the king? And that doesnt mean that you can participate in battles of course every administer can have some kind of an army and some armor but not really as great stats as the lords..plus you can try to kick a member of the council that doesnt like your ideology with deception or bride or anything..I got a ton of ideas andan I hope I get support on this but I will stop for now do youyou guys think that this should be added in the game?

You cant be more wrong im sorrynot bit as 578 said go play overwatch bannerlord will bebe 100 times better if it sticked to the good ol combat and not some sh**** @** moves that disarm you that would suck and it will end up just being frustrating its good that you stated your opinion just like yaga but yours is a bit worse
NightHawkreal said:
Nice! I thought that they'd be something along those lines and I hoped for Nords appearing as minor faction as well (I still hope that, as per Warband's 'lore', Nords will also appear as minor faction/mercenaries for Imperials).

For next week's questions; I would personally like to hear about the mercenary system for both soldiers the player can recruit and for mercenary work the player can perform.
I also have an interest in how the AI companions interact with the player character. How can you influence them and how can they influence you?
Thanks for an interesting blog! Keep up the good work!

Obviously, in the game we will be forced to admire the trees, not to fight. World peace.
Since September 27, 2012.
So norse cavalry = vlandian
Norse infantry = sturgian
Norse pirates (vikings) = sturgian subfaction
Sturgian cavalry will be light or even horse archer (would be interesting a faction without heavy cavalry but still horse archers)
Which weapons will use thosr finns? Firearrows?
Also if sturgia has two subfactions with HUGE difference with msin faction, ehat about Empire? Empire will have 3 factions with their subfactions but would be boring if all the same!
