C3V and SoV inclusive factions - NEW LOOK

[G1shark]

Elaria is currently unknown why she fights for Utgar, could just be a mercenary (her bio is a little unclear; although she comes from Toril, so she couldn't have betrayed the Feylund Elves). Sir Hawthorne did betray the knights of Weston, so yes he fits into that. Isamu, not really. He's a member of a clan of ninjas that are attacking Agent Carr and his agents. How is he betraying his own Shadow Clan?

Isn't hard to imagen Elaria the Pale betrayed someone, rouge typically have at some points and last I looked Elves weren't fighting with werewolves or undead as natural trusty allies, Feylund or D&D. Yes her intentions are unknown but it's a good temporary category.

Isamu betrayed humanity to the Hordes of Utgar and his own ambitions.

I'd say that qualifies as "betrayers" and I did say it was a very loose category option...

When I think Mercenaries, I tend to think more Vydar...

Lots of changes to factions with this new wave. I'll be updating this thread as soon as the the last announcement happens.

Food for thought: What role should the 8th infantry pathfinder take in the American Soldiers faction?

[William099]

Special Unit/Shocktroops I feel like.

As a common unit that can either be moved en masse or attack en masse, they can serve as either Ranged Bread-and-Butter or Shocktroops.

In a smaller build, you can go with Drake and Varan and 6+ of the 8th Infantry. In a larger build, you can add in the Airborne Elite as your Special/Shocktroops with the 8th Infantry serving as the primary ranged units.

It was definitely my hope for them to provide a Bread and Butter that could really move the US Soldier from a faction bud to full-on faction status.

Okay, here's the breakdown of the new C3V wave so far:
Akumaken - Factionless Utgar Done!
Ebon Armor - Factionless Einar Done!
8th Infantry Pathfinder - American Soldiers, ranged B&B
Gorllatroopers - Primadons, Frontline Lockdown
Shieldsmiths of Granite Keep - Dwarves, Frontline Lockdown
Bloodburst Thrall/Crypt Guardian - The Undead faction will be separated into three different factions: Undead Army (Utgar), Undead Legions (Valkrill), and Mummies(Vydar). Both of these units will be special units in the respective faction.
Knights of Blackgaard - ? (Start a black knight faction with sir Hawethorne?)
Claibrax the Kyrie Warrior - Not yet released
Emperor Andrask - Not yet released
Rygarn - Not yet released
Major J15 - Not yet released

I'm not sure how thematic a faction it is, but KoB sure seem to create a Relentless faction, don't they?

[caps]

I think there was already a Relentless faction, albeit one without any synergy related directly to being Relentless.

[IAmBatman]

Well their synergyless days are over then!

I considered this, but there's really no way to tie it together with theme.

[Bro-man]

Well the last pack for this wave is out. Can't wait to see where they finally go.
