[Poll] Favorite Factions

[Drazule]

I'm sure this thread has existed in the past, but the game has changed significantly with the addition of tech trees and the new units that I figured that a fresh poll would be in order. Who are your favorite factions? What ones do you hate?
I have every playable faction currently existing in the game as well as the split Twili factions and Ancient Hylians because they exist.
I voted for a bunch (pretty much ever faction I've played). But if I had to consolidate, it would have to be Labrynna, Ordona, Gorons, and the Wizzrobes have actually grown on me in the past week or so.

[CommyXD26]

Lanayru, for fighting for freedom (my fav theme), and Labrynna, for being awesome.

[VictorAYorke]

Go Lanayru! Decent spear infantry, anti-armour archers, very handy shock cavalry and battlecrabs...

[Kilratan]

For Lanayru ! For the tolerance ! For the liberty !

In second Wizzarobs because I love magic and corrupt peoples

In third Ancien hylien because they were so class and more humble ^^

Zora dominion because there are classes.

And at eguality Hyrul and gerudo. ^^

[starwars90001]

kokiri and Lanayru for me.

[Drazule]

I like that the provinces are getting 2/3rds the vote.

I'm personally surprised by the quantity of Lanayru love going about. Especially compared with the lack of Gerudo votes...

[Encablossa]

Well they are one of the factions closest to being "good".

The only other ones I would consider not a bunch of a-holes are the Kokiri, Ordonians, gorons and maybe fairies.

I seem to have picked some of the least popular factions: Deku Tribes, Gerudo, Zora, and Lizalfos. The Deku Tribes have always been a favourite of mine, both before and after the redesign. Shame half their units (and all their cavalry) don't work properly now though.

It's like you haven't played the campaign

I Agree with the Deku Tribes. I'm the same way, with them.

My other factions that I prefer are...
Moblins,
Kingdom of Hyrule,
Gohma,
Wizzrobes,
Sheika.

There are a bunch of others that are fun to play as, But I won't name them at this time.

I've said this before...
But if I could choice my favorite faction out of all the Expantions and Sub-mods. I would have to choise The "Kingdom of the Golden Land".

I know a lot of people see Lanayru as an underdog apparently.
Of course the biggest A-holes around, Labrynna, has been holding the lead the entire time.

[Avatar of the Ice Wolf]

As far as factions go: Kokiri.
Playstyle: Zora Dominion.

[Jawolf]

Darknut all the way, cant beat hulking dog men with huge swords.

Labrynna comes a close second because if steampunk and guns.

Does anyone else get put off playing as certain factions because they seem too easy, or for some other reason?

Like I've never played as Ordona, and don't want to, because I feel like I could just trample over everyone. Same with the Gorons.
I also don't want to play as the Kokiri, because something about them just puts me off. Like at some point I want to be able to have an actual 'professional' army, and they very rarely seem to have that (same with Ordona, just militia everywhere). I think it also feels weird to be conquering the world as a faction made entirely of children and trees.

[Drazule]

I tend to ignore the state of balance in the game. Like I really enjoy Ordona, not because they abuse the economy and have amazing cavalry, but because I enjoy the Rohirrim-esque playstyle of lots of cavalry and mobility. I love to play gorons because I also enjoy heavy infantry and have loved the out of Gorons ever since I first learned of their existence in 1999.

I like the way the Kokiri play, but I can see why they'd be off-putting. I've played as them, but would rather play the Koroks in GS:TW than play the Kokiri because I feel like they have more of a purpose.

The only faction that I would really NOT want tot play at all are the Fairies becaue I have no idea how you are supposed to play them. They're incredibly not straight forward and all the colors, while hilarious, confuse me.

I think that factions like Ordon and the Kokiri SHOULD get at least on professional military unit, even if it's late-game, but I don't let that stop me. Remember that once Armor Upgrades get implemented, it is possible that a lot of those people wearing only shirts will get some sort of leather or mail on them.

My first campaign was as the Gorons actually, because I'd always liked them. Not sure at what point I realised how powerful they were though.
I might eventually get round to playing an Ordona campaign, but I feel like I might subconsciously try to limit myself to have more of a challenge or something.

Your sig just reminded me, I'd add Lanayru to that list of factions. It's partly the non-professional thing, and I think partly because I don't really like their design/style. It's thematically fine as part of the game, but just not for me. I'd much rather play as the Dominion, or even the River Zora. Each to their own though.

I agree completely on the Fairies. I've tried a couple of times, but they seem a bit like an extreme version of the Deku Tribes - large skirmishing units with very little heavy infantry. The smaller fairy units are also very hard to see in battles, especially since there are no unit banners.

[Drazule]

I'd like to see the little 'Press Here to Glow all Friend-Foes' button return for that reason. Even though the armies are stylistically very different, they still cause confusion during large battles.

Though, I am surprised Lanayru is tied for first. I knew Labrynna and Hyrule would be popular, but the only reason why I voted Lanayru was because I'm playing a series on them right now.

Me too, I'd forgotten about that. Some battles turn into situations where I'm just waving the cursor around the screen with a unit selected, hoping it changes into a sword so I can see the enemy.

Who does one add such buttons?

[Drazule]

Does anybody actually know if there's a hotkey for this? What would it be called?
