Broken Lords are, by far, the coolest race there is.

In fact, there's so many minor factions that you'll rarely have a "pure" faction displayed on the map

Wouldn't it be interesting if there was a crazy faction focused on remaining "pure" that couldn't use minor factions?

Hum.. I don't think, as the minor faction are a really nice addition of the game. I mean, it would be "boring" to play without them... unless you add something else that would make that faction extremly cool.

Going on a holy crusade to eliminate all other minor factions generating large bonuses for them perhaps?

What if instead of being totally pure they could only use difficult quests to pacify minor factions. More of a trait than an Affinity though.

That would be better, in my opinion. But with better rewards from minor factions

Well the thing about the minor factions is that it adds a great amount of variety to your armies which lack it, giving some interesting empire bonuses as well. However, losing those bonuses and units might not be bad if the standard empire has a great variety immediately but has a strong incentive to kill of minor factions rather than just using the early variety to kill off the other major factions. I may not be presenting this idea in the best way as possible but I think the concept is nice. Kind of like how in Civ V lots of people hated Venice but others loved it. I guess its a matter of opinion.

Vaulters seem really nice. They seem to be a mix between dwarves and vikings.

I would play that faction lol. Exterminating the vermin who have spawned on the Holy Auriga. Maybe each minor faction pacified through warfare would grant bonus happiness, spurring the need to conquer them while losing happiness for every annexed faction or if there hasn't been enough terminating in x number of turns.

That sounds a little bit like the cravers with their locust points. I like it.

But seeing as bugs and knights are out of the picture for acts of genocide, I wonder what a faction like that would look like

Hate to say it, but, lore-wise, this sounds pretty much like the Necrophages, just with slightly different bonuses.

I think it sounds more the same gameplay wise- obliterate everyone. To me it just seems different motives. The survival of the species for necrophages vs. a crusade based solely on racial superiority (or whatever their excuse would be

) for this fanatic race.

knights arn't totally out of the picture for genocide, i mean the crusades were originally fought with devout knights and they did commit what people would call genocide. i think it is just the idea of a chivalrous knight like the broken lords that you are thinking of.

My thinking that because knights are already in the game it would be better to have a different looking faction. But then again a war between vamprical knights who still try to be chivalrous and a completely zealous version would be pretty cool.

The broken lords to me at least, definitely seem to be the most unique and original. They have an interesting story, abilities, architecture. And then there is their big moral dilemma about being vampires. they are just amazing

I have to go with The Necrophages on this. All of the Factions are beautifully designed however there is a natural beauty in those insects.

My favorites are the wild walker.

All the other faction look like warlords, it would be fine to have more peaceful factions.

There is always many kind of faction who like to fight and only one or two non-fighters.

I've always been a sucker for insect-like races. The Zerg, Tyrannids, and now the Necrophage.

Superior numbers for the win!!

I'm torn between the Broken Lords and the Vaulters as my favorites, though I also like the look of the Necrophage.
