Similar factions are grouped together into Races. The player takes command of a faction when playing the campaign mode, or when playing custom battles, set-piece battles/quest battles or multiplayer. 'Major' factions are playable, while 'minor' ones are AI-controlled only.įactions are tribes, peoples or nations on the campaign map that control settlements, amass armies and make war with one another. A faction is destroyed when it controls no more armies or settlements.
