Creative Assembly wants to know which factions you wish to play as in Total War: Medieval 3, but whatever you do, don’t ask to play as the Pope

Creative Assembly is developing Medieval 3, a new installment in the Total War series, which is currently in its early stages. The studio is engaging with fans through preproduction livestreams and a survey to gather input on which factions to include in the game. Key factors for faction inclusion are recognition, uniqueness of starting situation, and potential for distinctive gameplay mechanics. Certain factions, including England, France, the Holy Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire, the Kingdom of Jerusalem, and the Sultanate of Rum, are confirmed, while feedback is sought for smaller factions like the Italian city-states, Scandinavian kingdoms, and notable Muslim nations. Factions that will not be included are the Russian Principalities, the Mongol Empire, and the Papal States, the latter being considered too unique in playstyle.

Natural disasters, such as floods, can disrupt settlements, necessitating urgent responses and respectful disposal of casualties. Additionally, players must consider the favor of the gods, requiring a balance of offerings to maintain their support.
