The Black Knights / Intresting Faction Ideas

« on: September 20, 2012, 07:50:16 PM »

Post all of your faction ideas in here,and the best ones will get into the mod...
Simple right? 

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The factions that are in:
Faction Name: The Preom Republic
Color(s): Green
Culture: Romano-Greekish
Short army description: The great part of the army is composed of very well trained "civilized" spearmen and pikemen,but they have nomad cavalry in their service too.
Camping focus: Take over all of the rebel Preom regions and survive the invasion of the nomad horde
Playable: Yes
Need to be unlocked: No

Faction Name: The Lonhian Republic
Color(s): White and blue
Culture: Carthaginian (with a bit of viking)
Short army description: No cavalry,but make it up with good infantry and archers,plus powerful siege engines!
Camping focus: Defend the 2 occupied Preom costal regions,discover and colonise the secret continent
Playable: Yes
Need to be unlocked: No

Faction Name: The Karlonian Kingdom
Color(s): Blue and white
Culture: Black Knights
Short army description: Good axe infantry,OK archers and copied version of the heavy knight
Camping focus: Defeat the Black Knights and defeat all of their invasions
Playable: Yes
Need to be unlocked: No

Faction Name: Nomads
Color(s): Orange and Yellow...ish...
Culture: Nomad
Short army description: Army mainly composed of numerous light cavalry
Camping focus: I don't know,maybe...Raid a lot...
Playable: Only in Provincial Camping

Faction Name: The Black Knights
Color(s): Black
Culture: Black Knights
Short army description: Good infantry,longbows,crossbows and best heavy cavalry.
Camping focus: Destroy the Karlonian Kingdom
Playable: Yes
Need to be unlocked: Yes (now,don't you even THINK of cheating!)

The rules:
~ Your faction has to be a mix of two or more slightly different cultures / nations. The more mixed up,the better.
~ You can add some of your imagination too it - as long it has no:
    - Gunpowder
    - Monsters
    - Elves,Dwarfs or anything like that

And...that is pretty much it... 

Here is a example how a faction idea is suppose to look like:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Faction Name: Dudes

Color(s): Mainly Gray (in many shades)
Culture: Strange

Short army description: The dudes army is composed of strong persons,but is bad at something else.

Camping focus: Take over specific regions and hold them or/while having hold of X regions or/while outlive Some Other Dudes

Playable: Yes / No / Provincial Camping ONLY

Need to be unlocked: Yes / No

Short Story: Current state,current ruler,state of the army,explanation of the goals (why you have to eliminate Some Other Dudes),etc...

Army: Short Description,names and status of the main troops in the army.
For example...

Unit name: Dudes Infantry
Weapons: Spear,axe etc.
Armour: Old shirt
Shield: Small oval / no shield at all
Morale and fighting ability: Below Average
Description: Bad infantry,only good against dudes on horses.
Cost and training time: 1 turn and 340 gold

After you do all that,give me a reason why should I add your faction in,and why it would be interesting to play with / against

Remember,the plan is to make all of our alredy planned factions first,and then move on to adding more,so you will have to wait a bit until your masterpiece gets into the game (you can speed this process up by helping us a bit...  )

Have fun,and let your creativity loose!
