    Default [II] Faction list draft

    Hey guys, as promised here's a first draft for a faction list for Italia Invictus (btw the [II] tag will signify anything that has to do with our Italy scenario)

    The Katepanate of Italy (Byzantium)

    The Sicilian Emirates <- these may be split up depending on how it plays
    The Zirids

    The Normans (emerging)
    The Kingdom of Croatia
    The Kingdom of Burgundy
    The Principality of Salerno
    The Patriarchate of Aquileia
    The Principality of Capua
    The Duchy of Benevento
    The Patrimonium Petri
    The Republic of Venice
    The Republic of Pisa
    The house of Luxemburg (will control Verona)
    The house of Este (or the Welfs, will control the Tuscany)
    The Ottonians (basically the Holy Roman Empire, they'll control a lot of land)
    The house of Hohenstaufen (or the Waiblinger, if we put them in it'll be for a Guelphs and Ghibellines type of meta-game and they'd be emergent)


    Note that this is both only a first draft and the names will probably change a bit.
    There might be a few more factions that should be added, but we'll see about that later (the Pentapolis for example comes to mind)

    We decided to adapt Re Berengario I's idea of representing dynasties instead of "countries" which is why you see factions like Este or Luxemburg here.
    If you have any further suggestions, please post them, but only if you can back them up with good reasons for adding them (and "I like them" is not a good reason).

    Until next time

    Are you sure the Normans should be unplayable?

    representing dynasties instead of "countries"



    Hmmm quite difficult. As with the House of Welf, the Senior line became more powerful and of a higher rank than the Elder line.
    Became moot when the elder line died out tho.

    Generally, to represent accurately the house accesendancy, you would simply call the members by the senoir title of the oldest line.

    Hence the Welf Este, elder line, Dukes of Bavaria.
    Senoir line I think is Wolfenbuttel. Can't remember if they were grafen or herzog.

    Still nice idea. be interested to see how you implement it.

    Depending on your starting date, have the Aghlabids as the actual Emirate of Sicily, with the Kalbid dynasty as an important emerging faction later on?

    Edit: Ok, I checked the starting date. So, have the Kalbid Dynasty(you're going by dynasties instead of actual kingdoms right?). With the Zirids being the second Muslim faction and a strong rebel presence?
