The basic faction system, menu, and areas of influence were added to the renewed version in Renewed Snapshot 2.8, with the basic alignment system and ranks following in Renewed Snapshot 2.9, and NPCs beginning with Renewed Snapshot 4.0. Although they are lacking the structures and traders that make up factions in the legacy version, these are important steps. Also of note is that the 'Gundabad' faction has been renamed to the 'Northern Orcs', Angmar has been restyled as largely hillmen-focused, and the 'Lossoth' faction has been added.
