I know it may not come for a while, but checking out the dashboard info on factions, they look awesome. The potential to trade, ally, or confront them will be very exciting. Anyone else pumped? ------------- http://elgea.illyriad.co.uk/a/p/157483" rel="nofollow">

Rill makes a good point. I love some of the Faction descriptions. But I settled a bunch on cities to be close to some cool sounding factions a year ago... then got in some pain and Exodused away... then forgot about the Factions.... So, I plan on being excited when they eventually go live. For now I'll stick with just admiring the cool descriptions :-) ------------- "A boy is building sandcastles on a beach.

Perennial whinging about 'yet to be released gameplay' is ridiculous. Of course the devs are trying to get this out. It equals a better game and hence more money. If they could, they would. When they can, they will. Its what they call a mutually beneficial relationship. So lets all withhold on the 'them vs us' attitude eh? ------------- "ouch...best of luck." HonoredMule |

Well, to get factions, we need crafting (Faction trade hubs and whatnot.) And to get crafting, we need trade v2. And to get trade v2, we need pathfinding. And to get pathfinding, we need water units. And to get those, we need factions. ------------- "Semantics are no protection from a 50 Megaton Thermonuclear Stormcrow."-Yggdrassil (June 21, 2011 6:48 PM) "SCROLL ya donut!"

I'm with you on that. I cant see how any of the messages here can be described as whinging. |

Factions & Pathfinding Pathfinding & factions. The two holy grails of the Illyriad When these come on line they will probably knock our socks off. In the meantime Illyria has more than enough mechanics to keep you all occuppied and more than enough mysteries that remain , as yet , unsolved.  |

During the last time we got the precious chance to talk to the "John Lennon" of the operation I asked if we could have an improved questing system. His answer was encouraging. I still think a user based quest system is something that will create just as much replay value as the factions, if not more so. As for for pathfinding . . . you want to establish a foothold in the center of the board before moving out your queen. ------------- ...and miles to go before I sleep. |

On the original subject, you could fashion a new alliance to mimic the behaviour of factions as you see them: set up a trade hub, publicise your likes and dislikes in the forums, racially align yourself, park your troops on resource squares to eat caravans, ... ------------- |

Have these been there from the beginning? I can't seem to place them, could they have been added more recently? EmpiriumMixed
