What faction would you like to see in SS ?

[Iustinianos]

Would love to see Burgundy in the campaign, would really make western Europe a grand battlefield, with Burgundy, England, Danmark, HRE, France and Genua fighting for supremacy.

[Inhuman One]

I doubt that will happen, too much hate against europe around here.

[Brammius]

The Bulgarian Empire or Serbia would be a good addition to the Balkans and the Abbasid Caliphate would spice the things up in the Middle East. But the best faction to add would an Flemish faction, so I can play my home country ( J/K the other factions would be better.)

[Hospitallers Kane]

ok ok its just an idea but wait for it
The hospitaller knights should be a faction who control rhodes and malta
and the knights of santiago should control santiago as the teutonics and templars have their own factions. and seeing as the hospitallers never ofically died out and were created at the time of the templars the could be played in both campians

[cherryfunk]

Seems to me that none of the Orders besides the Teutonic Knights were powerful enough to take up an entire faction slot -- can you really say the Hospitallers had a greater geo-political impact than the Kingdom of Georgia or the Abbassid Caliphate? They were stuck on a tiny island for centuries and barely held that...

[Hospitallers Kane]

well they were hired throughout all of the holy land
defeated the templars on numerous occasions, held many manors in england like Hampton court.Altough being a island race they were larger and more powerful than any of the other orders (besides the teutonics, who were formed out of the hospitallers) and they became larger in No. when the templars disbanded

[Hospitallers Kane]

as many templars sort refuge with the hospitallers and were recruited

OK iif not a faction then they need to at least be more prominent, and for example the KOJ cannot recruit dismounted hospitallers as much as i love SS
that is really annoying, there is no hospitaller spearmen or archers and templars seem to be focused on even thow they have their own faction

[cherryfunk]

Sure, I agree there should be several good Hospitaller units and a definite presence for them...

[Hospitallers Kane]

indeed, but i dont no how to suggest this to kong
could you do it for me as ur a better rank or whateva its called and he'll probly listen to you

[Inhuman One]

I would personly like to see the Kingdom of Jerusalem a bit revamped, to include Jerusalem, Hospitaller and templar troops.

Maybe the antioch units could be replaced with hospitallers? The Edessan guards could be replaced as well, it should just focus on Jerusalem and the knightly orders.

[Hospitallers Kane]

or at least KOJ should have access to hospitaller segants, dismt knights hospitaller, knights hopsitaller and marshall of the hospitallers and connons of the holy sphulcure or W/E from a guild or This is an extreme idea make Hospitallers Mercenaries? I still think it would be gr8 to have them as a faction but if every else doesnt then im screwed.
oh and here is my other idea
you mite not like it
but you no the crusader knights and the dismounted ones
i was thinking scrap the old models and....
basically randomly put hospitallers, templars, teutonics, edessans, santiago knights, montessans, knights of jerusalem and antioch knights in the unit so its like a montage of troops

1-Great Seljuks
2-Zangids
3-Abbasids

[Icedie El Guaraní]

I would luv to see Raider coming from the Commonwealth of iceland, sea raiders from that time came from norway and denmark , the british isle , irland , so i guess it will be an interesting addition.

Seljuks are in; Zangids too ephemeral; Abbassids I agree

I think it would have to be scripted, but it's a neat idea...

[Logik]

Kingdom of Jerusalem with the ability to recruit all knight orders except knights of santiago.

[Caesar Clivus]

Kingdom of Jerusalem with the ability to recruit all knight orders except knights of santiago.

Not a new faction, which is what this thread is about.

My vote would be for either Georgia or the Abassids. This poll should really be multiple choice

[Resurrection]

Duchy/Kingdom of Bohemia I say :-)

[dj LiTh]

I know its not really feasible and wouldnt be good for gameplay but the welsh i'd like to see

[Col Poutting]

1. Confederatio Helveticae (Switzerland

2. Abbasid

The Helvets would have to be in late era campaign. They were extremely rich (due to north-south/est-west transalpine axis for trading goods);
and had some of the best soldiers world wide. Just think about the papal guard for example; they perfectioned the pike formations, and drew the Habsburgh (Austro-German family bounds controling Ausrtia and parts of Germany--> being a superpower in europe and controlling all these lands) in a very short time scale, out of the 3 initial cantons (Uri, Schwyz, Unterwald) forming the Helvetic Confederation (1.August 1291).

Just to say a bit, they kicked the Habsburgs arses which were in plate-full plate armours at best, with very basic weapons and armours. By killing them and looting, they got always richer and mor powerfull, and finally drove them of for good and claimed their independence.

Bern (capital of actual Switzerland) was by the time of Napoleons Invasion, the richest town in whole Europe!!! Ok its a few centuries later, but its just to show you the wealth they were able to amass with time.



Abbasids would be to add a Muslim/eastern faction.

[cherryfunk]

The Swiss didn't expand at all -- they can be well represented by powerful rebel or Free stacks, maybe with a unique AOR unit or two...
