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
