New faction theories?

[Leo]

So since we know now another faction is coming...does anyone have any idea what it could be? It feels like all the powers are here already! Unless...the spacing guild becomes a full blown involved faction, or...the Bene Tleilax? I'm very curious

[Blitzwing]

House Ix

[ashbery76]

God Emperor.

[Krell]

Iduali.

Would be the easiest to implement as they are fremen after all. (Can use the same models and animations) Have enough named characters alive during the time period to fill out the advisors. They also have a foothold on the planet in Jacurutu sietch.

Would they be unique enough to constitute a different faction to the fremen though? Mechanically speaking

[Matty Knacker]

thinkit would need to be a great house or someone who is gonna be a spice tax having 3 factions not pay tax to corrion feels wrong

[Kōizumi Seishiro]

Tleilaxu (b/c we get champions and they will die and probably will have to be brought back as gholas), Ix, Bene Gesserit (last 2 are already in game via agents and quests, so I have my doubts). Maybe RIchesse? Basing all assumptions on TT game (other factions from there are already in game)

They would have some overlapping abilities with the fremen like Worm riding, thumpers, and harvesting team.

Some ideas I had are:

+ Sietch Jacurutu is always surrounded by deep desert and is a PoI to the other players. So other player aren't sure exactly where idulai are at the start of the game.

+ Owned Villages appear neutral to other players until attacked. (Think skaven in TWW2)

+ Military units have no supply or health lost in deep desert and are also stealthed in deep desert.

+ Gain Water for each enemy unit killed.

- Cannot Trade or Ally with Sietches.

[Krell]

**BASE**
Sietch Jacurutu

**LEADER**
Namri

**COUNCILORS**
Muriz
Ziamad
Behaleth
Yakup Abad

**FACTION BONUSES**
+ Spice Fields in neutral and controlled regions can be harvested by Harvesting Teams
+ Owned villages appear neutral to other players until attacked
+ Military units have no supply or health loss in deep desert. Also gain stealth.
- Cannot trade/ally with sietches

**AT 5K HEGEMONY**
+ Can use Thumpers to call Worms and perform Wormriding
+ Gain Water from killed enemy units

**AT 10K HEGEMONY**
+ Can annex sietches allowing you to build special buildings

The problem most factions others have listed here is they don't meet all the criteria the devs seem to be using.

1. Factions existing during the timeline used (10192).
2. Characters that could be alive during that period (yes its an alternate timeline, but miles teg for example would/should never be added).
3. Foothold on the planet.

So looking at the factions: (as mostly likey to least)
Iduali - meets all 3 criteria
Richese - has the characters (Brian's books). Were the previous rulers before Harkonnen.
Tleilaxu - has the characters. Could have a unique mechanic for Foothold. No army at this time though
BG - same as Tleilaxu
IX - not enough characters alive during the time to fill out the advisors. (Unless they want to bring in characters that have been dead for decades before the time) No real foothold although they could do something with the hidden stronghold from Brian's book.

Then there are other factions that are even less likely imo like

Moritani
Ginaz
Ecaz
Hagal
Thorvald

[Mulholland_Driver]

Tleilaxu is close to what we saw in westwood Ordos. So may be it will be them.

And most of those characters had been dead for 10-20 years by 10,192.

Tessia was still alive. Cammar could have been alive. The only other character was Bronso.

I guess they could do Rhombur as he died close enough to the timeline used. So if Leto was in game, why not Rhumbur?

Could be a way to add cyborgs to the game

[Carnwulf]

Would love to see house Ix. Tleilaxu would be ok.

maybe its gholas from house Tleilaxu?

[auDr3y]

I'd presume it's the Tleilaxu, since they would seem like the most obvious of the greater know factions without having to delve deep into some obscure lore stuff.

They could easily do some hero-copying face dancer shennaningens
