Factions

There are 20 factions in Gekokujo, up from 6 in native Warband. They will fight for control of territory and are small enough that they can eliminate one another without the player's intervention. However, NPC travellers will say that the factions never eliminate each other.

The faction troops aren't particularly unique, they all have the same base troops with one type of elite ashigaru (villager) troop and two types of elite samurai troops. The stats of the troops differ slightly, but not enough to make a noticeable difference. For example, the Shimazu clan can train elite spearmen but not elite skirmishers, and can train hatamoto guards and gunners but not hatamoto cavalry or hatamoto archers. Not all of them have different elite troops, as the Ukita clan has the exact same elite troops as the Shimazu clan among many other examples.

Each faction has one monarch, a varying amount of vassals, and a claimant to the throne.
