I was inactive for a while so I'm chipping a bit late I know. I just wanted to remark that removing the LWB is one of the dumbest things I've seen in a while. Just because something doesn't have a big impact or may appear redundant does not mean there is any benefit to cutting content. Cutting content is only good if something has a noticeable negative effect, which is not the case with a minor vanilla faction.
A mod is supposed to add content, not remove it. Niche factions may provide fun to a small group of players and do no harm to others and have little relevance for the spread of activity etc., exactly because they are so minor anyway. It's like things are being cut for the sake of being cut and I think such logic should seriously be reconsidered.
