How many factions are there?

I think it would be better if they made at least 9 factions (8 regular ones + Nagas, living in a water landscape), and it would be even better if they added the Strategic Gameplay View (SGV), because these factions exist in Ashan, but they don't participate anywhere, especially the Nagas, they live in isolation:( at least they could have left them as a separate unit, and they even removed them with the Crystal Dragon in version 1.4(((
