Creative Assembly asks which factions you want in Total War: Medieval 3
Creative Assembly is running a survey asking fans which nations, dynasties and city-states should be playable in Medieval 3. Some major factions are already considered locked in.
While attention is on Creative Assembly’s Total War: Warhammer 40,000, the studio is also developing Total War: Medieval 3 and has been open about its progress through preproduction livestreams and a developer blog. CA is now asking players to complete a survey about which nations, dynasties and city-states they’d like to play. Creative director Leif Walter says three factors decide a faction’s inclusion: how well known it is, how unique its starting situation is, and how distinctive its “potential mechanics” could be. Some factions are already locked in: England, France, the Holy Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire, the Kingdom of Jerusalem and the Sultanate of Rum. CA wants player input mainly on smaller medieval powers — for example Italian city-states like Venice or Milan, Scandinavian kingdoms, or Muslim states such as the Almohad Caliphate or the Fatimid Empire.
