A Faction possesses a unique combination of personality, traits, abilities and other statistics. Every civilization belongs to a faction, so the player must select a faction at the beginning of the game. There are major and minor factions; only the major factions (listed below) are playable. The faction designer creates custom factions.

Crusade made many tweaks to the factions, and added the notion of race types, roughly corresponding to the form of life.
