Renegades

It's a pity that you can't play as the Renegades.

You might be surprised, but you can play as them. This is the first campaign of the Hammers of Fate, it's a mod called Modern Haven, which replaces the upgrades of the Haven faction with those of the Renegades and the Tribes of the East, in which you can choose both regular and new Haven units.

Connection? What does connection have to do with it? These are just ordinary warriors, dressed in red uniforms. Yes, some of them were fanatical followers of the False Isabel, such as Alaric, but these true Renegades were mostly destroyed. The rest repented and became one of the standard troops of Haven. This is clearly and explicitly shown in the 3rd campaign of the Haven faction.
