Customize your faction

from Elemental Forums

First...sry for my english. :blush:

There are two things in the "customize your faction" screen that i don´t understand.

1. Light Plate and Masterwork Chainmail cost 0 points.

2. Ideology: when i click on Empire i can choose every of the 10 existing races, but when i click on Kingdom i can only choose 7 of 10 races.

Is there a logic behind these two points? Can someone explain this to me, pls. :) (or is it a bug, or is my game messed up?)

light plate and masterwork are more of a flavor thing. they aren't technically better than the stuff they replace. light plate replaces chain armor - it's more expensive and it has the same initiative penalty as plate, but it adds better defense than the default chain armor. masterwork chain is the other way around- it has a lower penalty then the plate armor it replaces and is cheaper, but it also comes with less defense.

not sure why you can't make a kingdom with one of the "beast races" though. could be a lore thing - i guess the human factions are enabled for the empire side since actually one of the default empire factions (Kraxis) is human. don't know if that's actually the reason, though.

Well, in the old, old days of WoM, you couldn't use the big races because the gear wouldn't fit them. But I don't think FE/LH does gear the same way from troops and champs as it did for WoM, so I don't know if that is still the reason.  Maybe lore?  Although Wraiths can be played kingdom side.

I would like to see that restriction removed, let us use all 10 races for either faction.

wow...quick answers. Thx. :)

About the ideology. Your answers make it a little bit clearer to me. Like gandalf, i would prefer the possibility to choose every race for kingdom and empire.

Another question. Can i delete custom factions? I know how to delete custom sovs, but i cant find a way to delete my "test factions" 

And is it only me? But i find the colour settings fairly confusing (appearance) - colour 1 and 2; primary colour; metal colour etc..... :S

fyi, you can make wraiths as a kingdom, as well as krax. All the rest of the fallen are empire only.

Why wraiths can be good and not quendar, urxen, or trogs, dunno.

Yeah, thats the point. I see what i can choose for each side, but i don´t understand why. Maybe its in the lore, like xia said...
