Which future faction?

[Orety]

If M&B team would enhance the game, or lauch a sequel, which faction / culture you think is missed and should be added?

 

[AoC]

Other. Most of those included in poll sucks and/or are out of period.

 

[FrisianDude]

Inuit. With harpoon-throwers and seal-clubbers.

 

[Swagger]

I'd love an Aztec/Zulu/Sioux/Iroquois faction, but I know that they would never add something like that. So I'd like a Japanese/Chinese/Korean faction.

 

[Mixedpotatoes]

I would say that an asian faction would be great, so there could be some use of the great plains behind the khergit lower steppe.

 

[AWdeV]

Out of the given options, preferably something Persian/Indian, but I'd really prefer something based on the Malinese empire. I know **** all about them, see.

 

[looy]

An Oriental Faction or a "Primative" Faction would be quite cool. By Oriental I obviously mean a hodge-podge of chinese, japanese and korean units. But a "Primative" faction would be based on either African Tribes, Aztecs/Mayans or North American Indians, would probably be a little under powered though.

 

[AWdeV]

Primitive.


Also partially why I said the Malinese empire. A non-primitive African faction. Songhai would probably fit the time better, but they're probably quite similar. Dunno.

 

[Askorti]

No new fractions. It has been debated for couple of times.
There is probably no fraction that could fit here.
Acient Greece/Rome? Are you F*cking kidding me?!
Byzantine hmm... What new could they bring?
Englishmen - Nords have longbows already....
Persia&India - they do not fit in EUROPE.

 

[Nodscouter]

Persia&India - they do not fit in EUROPE.

Lets see, Khergits are Mongols and Sarranids are Arabs...

Whatever faction will be it should bring something new and unique to the game, the existing factions already cover every specialization of troops, so a new faction should be based around a new kind of weapon of some kind.

Elephants would be awesome in Singleplayer but I can't see them fit for Multiplayer, we have troubles with cavalry already can you imagine bringing down a ****ing elephant? 

Another option could be repeating crossbows, weaker then most bows and crossbows but able to shoot more rapidly and without losing accuracy while aiming, of course a faction that specialize in this should probably be of Oriental inspiration so it's probably not going to happen.

We could have a faction specialized in throwing weapons, but every other faction has them already and again I don't know what kind of culture they could be based around.

Really I don't think we will see another faction in native, not one that brings anything new anyway.

 

[Orety]

Ok. I made this poll only to gather all opinions, and ideas.

I think Byzantines would fit the most. Why?

like wikipedia says:

" it was by now a largely professional force, with a strong and well-drilled infantry at its core and augmented by a revived heavy cavalry arm"

also Byzantine were unique in look. No such looking armor / weapons in medieval europe.

Beside, we ar enot speaking only about army.

I have asked about all faction - so also Byzantine had unique architectural style (so another model of cities / castles / villages ) and great skills in the fields little abandoned in Warband - like greatest sieging weapons (greek fires) and effective and powerful fleet.

Persia&India - they do not fit in EUROPE.

Lets see, Khergits are Mongols and Sarranids are Arabs...

But they fought a lot with European nations. Persians and Indians didn't.

Khergits are turks and Sarranids are mamelukes. Both fight with european nations for the Holy Land. (Mongols also did it btw).

I can see some north west african faction, or perhaps spanish islamiclite faction.

 

[The_Freeman]

Khergits are Turkish? You mean Turkics had the whole "khan" stuff as well?

 

[Nodscouter]

Yes, but that was before they immigrated into Turkey and converted to Islam and all that.

 

[FrisianDude]

Byzantines would be awkward, unless it's a faction bent on restoring the old Calradic Empire.

Isn't the same objective of the other kings?
