We have a list of factions that are to be added for the game:
- Lossoth
- Bree
- Druedain
- Woodmen of Mirkwood, incl. Beornings
- Lake-town/Esgaroth (sub-factions)
- Eastern Avari Elves, incl. those in Eryn Caran and on Tol Rhûnaer
- Dwarves of the Red Mountains
- Wainriders/Balchoth
- Variags of Khand
- Limwaith
And while it is surely exciting to see the new factions, I feel like we would all be happier to get "function" update, like the newly added conquest system, or QoL updates, adding more options and configurations so we can customize our game
So while I respect the decision to not open source to let others work on the mod, maybe Mevans is willing to hold a contest to let all the builders in this game to design the look (generic NPC looks, armor&weapons, structures etc) of new factions so there can be less work for Mevans? He can pick or modify the work he likes and not having to start from scratch.
