This is not the case in Warband, as a player may assign heroes as vassals and convince rival lords to defect.Ī faction will be eliminated a few days after all of their territory has been conquered and all of their armies have been defeated. A player-created faction is regarded as a rebel faction, and the player, as the sole lord, is forced to protect and expand the entire kingdom. In the original game, a player who has created a faction cannot have lords at their service.
The player can join a faction, start a rebellion, or create their own faction. For example, Prince Valdym the Bastard will never be found in a keep belonging to Kingdom of Vaegirs. Claimants will never be found in a town belonging to the faction for which they are the claimant. The claimants can be found in random town keeps, and you can ask a traveler for their location for 30 denars. They will never conquer a whole faction without the help of the player.Įach faction is distinguished by a different style of army some have excellent infantry, others excellent archers or cavalry, or a combination of these units.Įach faction has a monarch and his vassals, as well as a claimant to the throne who waits for someone (the player) to champion their cause. They are constantly at war, trying to take over each other's territory and fiefs.
