The Jade faction is the Chinese faction. Jade was more valuable than gold and coveted by many Chinese emperors. It was so highly prized it became a distinct part of the culture and spread throughout South East Asia. I called all of these in your vid when they were revealed a few weeks back. I didn't call the name of the Ekur, or Jade factions but I did call them as factions, along with Babylonian and Mayan/Aztec, and Indian factions. Go take a look back and you will see it in one of them.
Ceiba is definitely my favorite, it's a pyramid with the construction ramp, so effin cool. They were the first and biggest, suck it Egypt lol. The pan-Asian faction will be Mongolian and others, the Chinese is probably Qin or something like. The African is my favorite concept since my main exposure to anything African is Charlize Theron, Trevor Noah, Lupita Nyongo, Black Panther, District 9 and Chappie.
This is just lazy content. Ceiba is the tree that connects the human world with the under world in mezzo-American folklore . The gods of that region live in it’s branches. Ekur is the Sumerian assembly of their gods. What a disservice to the work that Fateless is putting into their game and tying it to real life histories and folklore. 100% a boss move by Fateless to connect the player base globally by using actual lore characters based on personal regions of ancestry. You’re worried about how the picture on a faction flag looks and 100% missed the bigger “picture”
i think they are making a mistake here. they should just use the actual culture egion name that the characters represent. if you're making a game based on real religions\cultures why not use the real names of the cultures for the "factions". they are using the real names of the characters so it just seems weird to make up names for the factions.
