We need more structure with with the game design and go through a step by step advancement. While I have seen many good ideas all of them could be great or terrible pending on how you are setting up the History of the game they may not all be able to fit after you make other decisions. My assumption so far has been you are looking to reboot the game some time in the future of the past versions. If this is the case we need to know certain things before we proceed.
1) How far in the future are you looking at?
2) What if any events have taken place during that time.
These 2 questions must be answered before we proceed on to faction redesigns or ideas on what is available or how they were affected. Also are you going to use the old existing maps or are you going to modify them? You could greatly modify the maps by having some sort of cataclysmic event have taken place, also since you stated before of not starting with ships you could have the cataclysm having destroyed all the ports and greatly damage all coastal cities. Wiping out all major ships and just now are they being rebuilt.
Now if my main assumption about the game being a future of the past ones, then my point is still valid as we need to know the history so we can accurately create things so they make sense together and individually. After all enemies and allies will very much be decided by how the history of things are decided.
Until these things are decided discussing any sort of factions or how or what they may have or do is pointless and a waste of time and effort. I personally will not be talking about factions and any modifications to them until these sort of guidelines have been decided. As I will not waste time on things that will not fit in the history background that you decide to use at some future date.
Once basic history is decided then I think you discuss the major factions in the game. Which I veiw as the Imperials, Boda, Banner then Roder, Ring, Gift, then the rest.
