When creating your own faction theres one big disappointment for me right now. 

When you start the game with your own faction you get the standart hero for the visual faction you choose. i would like that to change into a hero builder within the faction creation screen. maybe you could pick a starting hero of the existing hero pool for your faction or even create a complete new hero by choosing possible skills and stuff. this is just a small detail but it really would add alot to the immersion of your own faction.


Or you could change the whole situation, by enabling you to choose your first hero like you do when the academy offers you one.
