I like some of the suggestions, and the discussion here. To clarify, there WILL be a Necromancy faction - the nature of which has already mostly been determined. The question is: will I add it before the next release or not? There is already a reference to the King and Lady of said faction. So I am still debating this.
Basically what will likely happen is I will finish the next release without the necromancy faction added. Ill back that up like its finished. Then I will start on the faction and everything involved. If it looks like its going to be an entire other release worth of work I am undertaking I will release the backup first.
Stay tuned.
