Wild Banners faction unveiled for A Year Of Rain

Daedalic Entertainment has kicked off a series of developer diaries about RTS game A Year Of Rain, in which narrative designer Benjamin Kuhn and art director Michael Teske talk about the narrative freedom they get from the fantasy genre.

In the video we also get word on how co-op can affect storytelling, the factions in the world, and the Wild Banners. These form the third playable faction in the game, and are described as "fierce survivalists ready to fight for every scrap of this harsh world".

The Gnoll Chieftain in this faction can boost and heal allies while shooting allies, while the Shadowdancer can prove deadly against isolated enemies. The Myconid, however, has spores and minions, supporting allies with symbiotic boosts too.

The game will launch on Steam via Early Access on November 6, and you can find out more on the Steam page.
