Suggestion for emerging factions

[Cousin Zoidfarb]

I have an idea for the emerging factions. Instead of having tham appear at the specified time or event have them exist as a 'horde' and as vassals or allies ( i think you have to hold a province to be a vassal) of the existing state from where they originated. For example, 'Bulgaria' (or Serbia or whatever) exist from the onset of the game as a horde army and vassal/ally of Byzantium, when the opportunity presents itself the faction takes over a province. This would allow these factions to be playable from the onset and still be quite true to history representing their initial subordinate state.
The same could be done for Khwarezm, the Crusading states etc

I really like your idea. And it would be nice if they would be playable too! So that you start with an army and try to set up your state somewhere. Just like if you play Byzantium you will need to fight at Matzikert first.
I wish every Faction had a challenge to face when you started playing.

This is very good idea . And with this there is a chance to have Serbia and Bulgaria playable (Two very important country for Balkan)
