Is it true the blood dragons wont change at all even in the next mod update?

Samura-controlled Kusari government overthrown. Now what?

Simple. The Kishiro-backed government has proven to be even worse than the previous Samura-controlled one. So Dragons will be fighting them instead now.

Then what is the purpose of the Blood Dragons in the mod. Disregarding lore for a second, Ryummel, you paint the BD as a faction that have one purpose only: Pewing KNF and KSP. Since those factions have only a marginal membership due to the fact that Kusari doesn't have a house-versus-house conflict, BDs themselves would suffer from a lack of activity.

My main point as a dev when working on a faction is "how can I make this faction be enjoyable to be played for a (group of) players"? How can we do that for the Blood Dragons?

It's funny how you yourself point out the exact issue here, and yet take it as a fact, not an issue. That's the problem: Isolating KNF and KSP inside Kusari, while they had been lacking activity even when they could raid Leeds, and also refused to fight the ]bd[ for reasons not really relevant to our subject here, and expecting both the factions survive with nothing to do but shooting each other. Yes, the Dragons are there to shoot the lawful bunch, and it's nothing strange or new, as a lot of other factions out there follow a similar goal.

What would make this faction (And every other faction within the house, for that matter) more enjoyable to play would be bringing a new line of conflicts to the house, and not by adding a battlefield 4 systems away, but turning the house itself into a battleground. With the masterwork of devs when it comes to GRN-KNF NAP, best option now would be draggin the Exiles inside Kusari. Move them out of Bretonia entirely, as they have nothing to do there except what already can be done by BAF, and move their battleships to western edge of Kusari, so they can fight GRN and try pushing into Kusari at the same time.

This way, if Samura decide to back the Exiles, publicly or not, and if the Hogosha and Farmers start supporting the Exiles as well, you can toss in the GMG publicly supporting the Kishiro-backed government if you want, and the Dragons would find themselves in the middle of a bloody civil war, neutral to neither side.

And I agree with Ktayn. If the BD and GMG stop their under-the-table relations, it'd also give the BD an actual piracy ground even though that's not their main purpose.
