Drathal sent me a bunch of poll ideas, and out of them, this was born.
We had something similar way back, but it´s been a long time. Which Inner Sphere faction(s) would you like to see directly represented in MWDA ?

I would prefer the next faction be a pirate or bandit group over a true house. However I would rather a house before another clan.

A Marik/Free Worlds League faction might not be as far fetched as it seems. Sure theyre all divided and weak, but the factions involved in the Republic War arent exactly galaxy spanning in the grand scheme of things. Only Liao (and soon Jade Falcon) are really true powers. No reason a weakened House Marik couldnt dispatch a force on the same scale as SS, SH, DF, BR, etc. Maybe even a pro-Republic force, God knows not EVERY new faction has to be rabidly anti-Republic.

are we suppose to be able to select more than one?

well, I selected House Steiner and House Davion, hopefully the Swordsworn and the Stormhammers will be absorbed by these two. Even though I don't like the Innersphere houses or the Republic, it just doesn't seem like BT without them. I would like to see the old clans make a come back after Falcon's Prey.

You forgot All of the above.

we already have Stiener, the Combine, and Davion represented, so they should not come out till much later

I voted for Marik since they are the only group not represented out of the choices given. And since I have no clue how the Draconis Combine absorbing the Dragon's Fury would affect the game from a gameplay standpoint. Would there be House abilities for the Combine units, but not for the Fury units. Would the Green, Veteran, and Elite units be the same Reginments they are now or would they be replaced as well? Too many questions at this time to decide if I'd actually want the Great Houses to come in and absorb the Factions. :ermm:

@Darkspade
Yes.

@Clint
Since you can just click all of the four others, there was no need for that option.

Personally I want to see the Com-Gaurds return. I was a long time playter of them before the clans came and then i fell in love with the ghost bears. I picture a high tech faction withloads of SE and stable stats until about the fourth or fifth click then they drop like a ton of bricks on jupiter.

What about the Free Rashalauge? Did they get wiped out during the Blakist Jihad?

Maybe a Periphery power like the Majestry of Canopus or the Taurian Concordat.....

As far as storyline goes... perhaps the resurfacing of a Blakist faction would be interesting..

Rasalhague is gone. Basically absorbed by the Ghost Bears.

I would like to see the Ghost Bears/Rasalhague or the Com Guards.

*Jaw drops*

The FWL is actually in the lead! I am surprised by that! I hope they can keep in the lead, just for my pride, lol.

either the fwl, not a big fan but there not represented yet, or Comstar/comgaurd.
