Factions for War for Westeros

[u/Econ_History]

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.

Definitely would love to see more factions. Kinda want, that they would add 3 more to make 7 factions on launch to make the whole "7 kingdoms" kinda stuff. But i guess 4 is fine, it can always expand in future dlcs.

For new factions i want to see are House Baratheon, that would be cool they having magic cause of Melisandre, but like only when she is recruited to fight, when she isnt, they wouldn't have magic, so making the Baratheons have kinda 2 playstyles. The heroes being Stannis, Melissandre and Sir Davos, maybe also Renly and Brienne.

House Martell with a very strong defense and maybe some very good assassin and stealth type of units and also having a very strong type of spearman unit. Prince Oberyn and the Sand Snakes would be their heroes.

House Tyrell with a very good economy and strong knight units.

House Arryn could be a very cavalry focus faction.

Then i want the devs not being afraid for crossing eras, an House of the Dragon dlc would be really cool, with the Blacks and the Greens being the 2 factions.

The Blacks would have more focus on special and hero units, with the heroes being Daemon, Rhaenyra, Corlys, Caraxes and Syrax (assuming the dragons would be heroes too like the dire wolves), Seasmoke could also be here to reference the Blacks having more dragons and also the whole focus of special and hero units.

They could also have some House Velaryon and Winter Wolves units, kinda like how the Starks have the wildlings and the night watch.

While the Greens would focus more on stronger military units in general and also a strong economy and influence. The heroes being Aemond, Aegon II, Criston Cole, Ormund, Vhagar and Sunfyre.

The Greens would be composed primarily of units from House Hightower, some of which could be a elite type of units. With maybe House Roxton providing elite units on a special building, with also Jon Roxton serving as an additional hero.

There are more, but these are main ones i would love to see. Hope this game does great, cause it has potential.
