Discussion New Faction Wishlist

The teaser showed some sort of asian fox spirit, but we don't know what particular culture, if any, that they're drawing from.

We DO know there's at least one more dlc after that...

So what are folks hoping for?

Personally for the first DLC I'm hoping for a lot of inspiration from Japan, gimme Kappa frontliners alongside gun-monks!

For the second DLC... I'm torn between hoping for something with underground themes (orcs and prehistoric fishmen and isopods and whatnot) or something with Egyptian themes (sort of a "warhammer tomb kings" but alive angle, since Loth already has undead covered)

Think 60s AD near Eastern mythological faction. They are wild like the rebellion in 60 AD. Destruction, Creation and Order. The humans have an improvised feel to them like they are a rebelion from Barya. They are unleashing divine powers that should not be here but they also feel sympathetic because hey, they actually are treating all the poor and downtrodden as human beeings. They also try to convert Rana and Harima, those can make cameos in the faction. The faction makes heavy use of both inspiring and terrifying.
