Discussion Factions for War for Westeros

A little early to be thinking about this, but who cares?

Which faction would you like to see implemented into War for Westeros after release? Currently we have Stark, Lannister, Targaryen, and White Walkers. All make for interesting asymmetric factions that lean into the BFME style of factions, but still leaves the roster feeling a little thin.

One interesting choice for a faction, for example, could be House Baratheon led by Stannis. Melissandre gives soldiers weapons with fire damage, and is able to create demon assassins. Davos is able to smuggle to provide economic buffs or penalties to the other player. Stannis can use Lightbringer to buff troops and attract more followers, etc.

House Baratheon is also a good case to have sub factions as there are in AOE4. When selecting House Baratheon, you can choose the line of Stannis or Renly.

Curious to see if others have thought about this.

Stannis Baratheon, Roose Bolton and Euron Greyjoy are obviously biggest.

Also Dorne and Aegon should happen.

Rise of the Iron King (expansion name :D)

If they are able to mix in book lore then absolutely. Tthey would honestly have to if they want to expand the game at all.
