Are we really just ignoring an ancient Egypt inspired faction rn.. given some middle age armament,... would be super cool
Reasonable. I think pseudo-Indians and psuedo-Africans would be my first votes for new faction inspirations, as they'd add the most variety without stepping outside the bounds of plausibility. It's fiction, so Native American inspirations could be drawn, but it'd break the sort of pseudo-medieval vibe they've got going.
You mean Vlandia?Something like inquisition or religious fanatics that invade and influence calradia.
Sorry I meant Aeserai?You mean Vlandia?
Where did you get the idea that China had weak troops? Just curious because Chinese army throughout most of history could crush any other contemporary army(Japan/Indian/Turks/Europe/Middle east/Africa).I like this line of thinking. For me...
Good calls. Me... I'd give Japan a little in bows as well. Basically I'd give them good elite archers and (relatively) strong mid-tier polearms, if it were me.
If I were to throw China in, I'd go for cheaper troops that aren't as individually strong as those of other factions at the same tier, to emphasize wielding numbers efficiently. Strong trade and administration focus as well.
The rest of these look like about what I'd do.
Naval Warfare is planned for DLC apparently.I personally feel there needs to be more of a naval presence. Whether that's specific ship types/styles for each existing faction or a new faction. There should also be river boats (and more rivers), again, in my humble opinion.
TLDR: MORE SHIPS!

To clarify, I mean DLC in the "expansion pack" sense of the word. More Civilization, less Crusader KingsReally? Hmm, well I seem to always miss these details. Thanks.I'm not sure how I feel about DLC this time around but we'll see.

I think I have pinned down the time period that Bannerlord is roughly based off. These cultures and their placements are very similar. Based off of this and following the lore we could see a Visigoth inspired faction in the South-West, A Saharan African tribe, or many divided tribes in the South, More Hungary/Poland/Russia inspired faction in the East, an India inspired faction in the South-East, and of course, Nords in the North.
A lot of you are suggesting factions or cultures that are already represented in the game.
You mean the Peninsula of Saudi Arabia which is made up of smaller kingdoms that are vassals of the Persians?Aserai are more Arabic than Persian.

Clearly you haven't studied India mate. Besides if Bannerlord is set in the historical timeline 1000 ad- 1100 ad then the Aztecs are 300 ish years down the line, so definitely Mayan is possible but not the Aztecs. But then again its a game and we shouldn't get too worked up about it.Of all the options, only the Aztecs have a unique culture , unusual color and state structure, they should be first of all.
