#Faction AFTER aliens are done

Or ninjas👀
To keep with the wild, wild, west theme, Indians are a natural. Shoot the feather for a headshot.
Instead of the skeleton bull charging, that could be changed to a skeleton horse
Chiefs, shamans, hunters,...
I think… Indians might be a bad call. Bit of a history, there. 
Ninjas and Pirates, for sure tho! 
Yea I had thought of Indians as an obvious addition but it feels like entrapment, just not the right move, I was trying to think of another faction thats sort of “out there” like how cowboys and aliens makes no sense but is a somewhat popular genre.
Pirates usually are depicted as skeletons in games like this too so I thoughts knights could be cool with crossbows and jousting horse riders, cannons. And I don’t need to explain ninjas, they’re just bad ass
…Wait. A new faction, one that’s come across the sea.
They’re all Asian based, so Ninjas and Samurai galore
Could be a new “neutral” faction, like Mauraders are to the Deadheads
Could also lead to new weapons, spells, and jokers too
A samurai sword would go so hard, and ninja styled jokers for stealth builds, plus they could do things with fire works
Viking sasquatches.... need I say more
No, but… you should
Vikings are ok but Native Americans are not? The folly of being politically correct.
Someone would be able to make bad publicity out of it. Doubt anyone would prefer that, unless the Indians were allies
Which could be a good idea, actually. Friendly faces in the wasteland.
maybe just dynasty with ninjas and other Asians enemies from like dragons, wacha, samurai and woo kong something like that
ohhh shadows faction
Cowboys vs Indians has a history, Cowboys vs Vikings does not. If the Vikings historically had their entire home nation taken away by force by knights, it'd probably be controversial to make a game where you play as a knight fighting Vikings. Context goes a little deeper in this case I feel. Idk I don't think it'd be like an explosively huge problem in a more grounded, serious game where you can portray the events with a little more nuance I just don't think this is the game to touch that territory
I do think the Jungle would be cool to see something done with the idea of dangerous predator animals as a new category, whether they're skeleton or robot animals or whatever to suit the game's aesthetic
Tack on maybe some snakes that drop down from trees :)
I think like an Asian themed faction actually has real legs to stand on because a lot of gunslinger films and spaghetti westerns are inspired by old samurai movies, and the classic duel. So a dynasty faction or in general Asian themed faction is kind of a cool nod towards that development of culture. That being said @chrome temple GIVE ME ANIME REFERENCES AND MY LIFE IS YOURS
I like the ninjas/samurai theme idea. Maybe to fit more to the games aesthetic, make them yokai based?
I’d also like to see cryptids as a faction. Bigfoot was already mentioned. What about the chupacabra, skin walker, death worm, etc?
Could also add in elementals somehow. Like a sand elemental, fire elemental, wind elemental…
If they added an oasis biome, or sea side map, pirates would also be awesome!
If we’re doing anime references, I’d kill for a mecha skin. Give me a Zaku or Getter Robo, the cape on the latter would fit so well.
