Oh no! They'll have a child or two, and two years later, Daoshen will be in the celestial heavens and Jacob Bannson will be consort or regent to the chancellor

For those that say the Bannson will betray Liao:

Bannson is now a Liao Noble, married to some one of the Liao family. And if he betrayed Daoshen, I would begin taking wagers on how long until the Death Commando's drag him back to Sain for some "re-education". Or just killed him in his sleep.

it would be good to see some "unions" between factions, this would make possible for WK add new factions. BR and Liao, RotS and HL, SS and SH ( long live F-C :D ) are what come to my mind. so, 1 faction could have no pieces at set X, but its pair would have and no player would be %#@$@#%ing about faction exclusion.

You forget, the Death Commandos obey the Chancelor resolutely and with out question. If the Chancelor obeys Jacob Bannson...

It's only a matter of time now before we see a Yu Huang in BR colors. Just imagine the beatstick this thing will be.

LOL yah I could see Banson holding the leash thats around the Chancelor's neck....the Liao are surely gonna pay for haveing anything at all to do with Banson...hehehe

ok, I do not believe they are going to discontinue ANY faction, and WK has stated that they are not intending on discontinuing any faction. BR is one of my primary factions, and I would be seriously upset with WK over it. The fluff does not affect the gameplay, and I personally dislike Liao and the Republic.

Also, I believe the wrong question was asked. Not "which faction you would like to see discontinued?" but "Which faction would you least like to see discontinued?" This means not which faction is the most disliked (as the poll showed) but which faction is actually least liked.

Yeah I doubt they will remove a faction any time soon. Although, I'm expecting factions to be left out of future expansions to help make room. What they should do is have three releases per year. Release #1 and #3 should be the smaller releases which focus on a few factions. Say 4-5. The #2 should be a larger release which has units from all factions. Let them design #1 & #3 at the same time to help cut down on power creep. Have the LEs available for these two release flip-flop the LEs. If you were left out you get the LEs from the sister expansion later in the year. Then the following year, the #2 release is then made into the #1 & #3 for that year with a new #2.

one way to do it.

Allow Br units to form formations with Liao units, but not have access to the Liao house abilities.

sorry for the double post
