New interesting factions

[romanz21]

In reference to the current political climate of our planet I'm asking the Devs to show big respect and implement the idea of new joinable minor factions like aztecs & native americans. I personally would like to see Devs link up with this mod creator and implement african tribes into the Aserai territory like this:

Any other suggestions for different cultures or if you agree with any I've named drop them below. Please remain respectful and keep any negative opinions about any race/culture to yourself this is not the place/space for it.

Its set in a fantasy European setting but why not they could expand the map may be on the southern end near the Aseri. But I hope this game doesn't bring real world political to bannerlord as there is enough of that in the world. Lets escape together and have fun.

 

[WhiteEyedSh4rk]

The political reference is really misplaced, but I support the idea of a native american like faction. That's something for a dlc though.

 

[Eigengrau4]

An expanded Calradia would indeed be very fun to add to the vanilla game. DLC or not. But then again we're moving to Civilization territory. Can't say frightening Mayans off their precious gold with my fleet of iron horses wouldn't be hilarious however.

Keep your politics out of here, thanks. African tribes have nothing to do with early medieval society.

What type of armor would native Americans have in a DLC? Asking for friend.......

Bonemaille over soft leather is a thing... I think. Or maybe I've played too much Rust.

The name of the threat says it all.

Why dont you ask for a Chinese faction? (Which by the way would be extremely cool if map is expanded significantly)

Before this blows up - yeah there are lots of cool factions they could do. Many of these would be representative of various ethnicities beyond those already in the game.

This has my support for the future - but lets leave it at that. M&B is a diverse and inclusive game, it doesn't need to do any virtue signalling. If you want to take it to a game that really needs to work on this go check out Mordhau - the fantasy game where you can play a viking fighting a landsknechte while a crusader dances around you but you can't play women or any skin tone other then white or tanned. Because that would be 'unrealistic'...

Because everyone knows women took no part in the Viking-Templar dance-off wars.

..asking the Devs to show big respect

Showing respect to what exactly?

 

[HalfMetalJacket]

Are you under the assumption that black people are Amerindian, or are you trying to grab attention with a poorly thought title?

 

[King Yngvar]

I'm guessing the Africans would have to be placed south of the Aserai, expanding the map. They could be a lowly armored faction with no real advantages, easy pickings for the Aserai to stomp out in played battles at least. I don't see any reason to put in Native American inspired factions though. They have no place on the map and would require an extra continent added along with navies like in Viking Conquest. In any case, they too would be lowly armored in addition to using less effective weapons and having no cavalry.

No. I'm sure you have your reasons for suggesting this, and expanding the map, or developing expansion packs are a great idea. Native american cultures are really fascinating and are an excellent theme for instance and in fact there are a LOT of locations and themes one could implement into a sandbox game like this.

HOWEVER.
I would liek to ask you to NOT bring IRL political agendas in here where they do not belong. To simply put, a game developing studio has little to nothing to do with race, sex or the politics around it in real life. Sure, they can have a go at it and a take on it if they decide to do so, but suggesting that because of real world issues a dev team should change their game is not okey in my opinion.

Still, not a bad idea,maybe we will get expansion packs and the like.

 

[ZydrateTheSmoothCriminal]

Thanks for adding the "BLM" in the title, almost thought you were a member of the NSDAP there.

 

[IceNoVa]

Politics do not mix with on-topic debate and game development. Accumulating suggestions is a perfectly valid thing to do, but do not drag politics of any kind into this. If you want to discuss things in any way related to that, try the off-topic section of the forum.

Any further commentary relating to any political stance will be deleted, no need to ask for the thread derailment that comes with political debates.

 

[Younes]

Things like China or mid-south Africa are all great suggestions. Some people seem to not understand the significant difference there is between northern and southern Africa.

It's like putting the french and the german in the same basket.

Without getting into absurd pseudo-political polemics and focusing on the game; I will say. Along with the premise of "new faction" I would like to see something more imaginative. If we take into account the plausible future implementation of naval combat, I would like to see a North African faction evolve from what could have been a medieval Carthage if it had lasted through time. There are millions of references far too attractive (imo) to settle for the archetype of a tribal warrior with a spear and loincloth.

And as Younes argues for this difference I will add that the north of Africa is Mediterranean with forests of oaks, pines and cork oaks, in case anyone thinks that the coasts of Algeria or northern Tunisia are full of Saharan dunes. Why not a faction of medieval fantasy ala multiracial Jewish-Lebanese Carthage, a naval power that uses its forest mass for this purpose?

I mean yeah, it really highly depends on how the devs intend on using naval is they ever do. In many mods in warband naval didn't really have much of a use except travelling and a bit of combat. I can definitely agree on what you say only if they intend on using the naval to its full extend, talking about things like naval sieges on cities, to some very fleshed out naval battles instead of the ones we see in warband.


Naval can have a significant impact on the game, but only if the devs intend on using its full potential.

Those seen in viking conquest were also not really well fleshed out imo

African tribes have nothing to do with early medieval society.

I'm going to assume you mean "early european medieval society", but even then that's still a stretch considering early medieval spain was ruled by african muslim tribesmen (Who also conquered and vassalised an empire in Ghana) for centuries.
