Minor Factions
Minor factions are unique CPU-controlled factions that cannot be selected by players. Defeating or allying with a Minor Faction can earn a player access to its unique units and resources. Most Minor Factions are designed around a specific map - however, by establishing an Embassy with that Minor Faction at your Marketplace, you can choose one of five Minor Factions depending on the Biome of the current map. Depending on your pick, you will be able to construct their bases at either Camps or Ruins.
