Factions

Factions are split into two types: major and minor factions. A major faction is playable based on their geographical position and importance during the period covered by the grand campaign. A minor faction is unplayable, but will still make conquests. Each faction belongs to a culture that dictates its style of buildings and types of unit. Each faction has a set of characteristics particular to them, known as faction traits. Use this page to investigate your rivals!
