    Default What do you think is the emergeant faction?

    Since the team is no telling, let's speculate!

    I say the Valar - for when the bad guys think they've won.

    I think it will be the Smeagol faction; Hundreds of Smeagols marching from their pools and attacking anything looking like golden or has rings

    Gah, we already have a hint: WINTER is coming!

    Or the Pink Wargs ofc.

    Or maybe TATW's messed-up Easterlings?
    I would rather have a memory that is fair but unfinished than one that goes on to a grievous end.

    I think that the emerging faction could be:
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

    The EVIL NARNIANS!

    Just look at him. This evil look, horns, hooves... He’s a real devil!
    And they HAVE means to “emerge”.


    Seriously, I think that Gen. Chriss could be right. This was discussed once before at the WIP Screenshot Thread, and it looks like a reasonable/smart guess.

    Oh you're right. But I'm pretty sure it will be Dorwinion

    If your theory doesnt involve drunk kung fu wine induced monks from Dorwinion i dont see any logic in it

    That is supposed to be the reason that they shouldn't go rebel? Really, I don't see any logic in THAT.

    Regarding your logic:
    The Greeks were drunkards and boy-lovers and yet waged many a war.
    The Romans were drunkards and boy-lovers and yet waged many a war.
    The French are drunkards, speak a *** language and yet waged many a war (and except for the Napoleonic ones they always got their asses kicked).

    The French lost the Napoleonic wars by getting their asses kicked by Russian winter and then twice by the Duke of Wellington. If they can be classified as warfaring Drunkards they done a very poor job at that

    The link you provided does explain alot of things but the fact that the emergent faction will (as well as i could understand the mechanics of it) target especific regions and will probably spawn next to this region (cuz aradan said they would be fast about it).

    what makes no sense is why a estabilished "kingdom" with a capital and such would target settlements not close by? maybe they got drunk and lost their way back home...

    again very interesting link though

    If Dorwinion is part of Dale it makes sense to me. Also we do not know the conditions that trigger the emergence. If you compare to vanilla BI, you also have the Romano-British. I haven't played BI for long, so I never encountered a faction emerging and I do not know how it 'works'.

    Yeah maybe if Dale is destroyed, Dorwinion will emerge as a faction.

    Ow i like this. This will explain some of the things aradan said, like "they wont be very menacing" as in "they wont jump in the midlde of your map and take your cities"

    ok im convinced i think it will be dorwinion too. Lorewise they are strong enough to resist most of the third age without great losses, but are they strong enough to rebuild Dale and confront the other "bigger" factions?

    Well I'm not privy to inside information, but if they are the emergent faction, they'll probably get privileged access to Dalic units, and maybe some Easterling units, too. Oh and IMO their faction colour should be bordeaux, for obvious reasons
