Who is friend and who is foe?
Who gets that noob that can't do anything and who gets the tryhards (why has no one created that clan yet)?
Naturally I am with the Baronies.
-
For King and Country! For the Baronies!!
-
Baronies have me all the way man. The only other possibility is Mercantile Guild.
-
I think the baronies have been winning people over for a while now.

"Glowwater Thralls"
But yea, been a barony person ever since I learned about the lore.
-
Kamoba has a backstory from the baronies, but has worked with.Merc Guild (TT) and Anglean mercenaries (Ryder)...
So I guess Baronies traitor. 8)
-
FOR THE REPUBLIC!! Anglea all the way! (Has there been more lore released?! Kinda out of the loop where I am.)
-
honestly the only factions making somewhat sense are the baronies and the anglean republic.
desert people who are living in poor conditions and possibly tribes? Somehow have a working state?
the mercantile guild which has no economical resources but somehow are able to take them from some other places and sell them for full benefit?
the chaladon that has an agricultural powerhouse, but keep to themselves on an island, basicly not taking part in the world... ok
the yeshan empire, lets obligerate everything in our path which has no real cause or explanation.
anglean republic are basicly poor viking which have to raid other settlements to survive, they have a technological powerhouse preserved in the icy stretch they inhabit meaning they have to use it and preserve it to survive aswell, losing a technology or having it stolen could mean they would have a downfall.
the baronies are basicly feudalism, houses fight internal and everyone has a political role to play, no matter if you are a soldier or a merchant (no one plays peasants) you have to take an active part in securing your family or plow the oil fields. Yes they possess vast oilfields that the anglean raiders target.
the last 2 just makes sense economical whereas I still need explanations for the others, especially the mercantile guild, they are surrounded by other powerhouses but still have access to take advantage of their resources? eh ok...

It is almost like you're implying there is no lore for the game and the lore that exists doesn't make any sense^^
-
Mercantile Guild, of course.
*starts humming the Anhk-Morporkian anthem*
-
Lore wise I stand with the Angleans, it remains to be seen how much I like their ship. I am not particularly impressed by the Guild and Barony ships that have been made playable.

Theres lore but honestly I don't think they've really fleshed it out as far as it could go. Look at Alliance itself, everything is pretty much in flux. There is the established backstory which gives you the gist of what is going on. You know who hates who, who likes who, and a simple why. I've yet to see really any characters stand out. Suspect we might see some as time goes on. Haven't heard them hire a new lore person.
-
Well, they had a lore person that started to write stuff a lot of time ago. But then they left after a while and after a bunch of written lore, now Eric is the one semi in charge of lore. So you can tell why the lore department is in such a pain, if one person wrote stuff and didn't finish and now it is under a different person...

Lore or no lore, I will still side with Chaladon if given the chance. After all, I'm definitely a fan of one of their ships.

Which ships are supposed to be from chaladon? The goldfish and squid?
-
Squid and Mobula. Goldfish is Yeshan, along with the Galleon and Pyramidion.
-
Actually, I'm pretty sure Squid is from Chaladon and Mobula is from Guild.

Kebs right, mobula is mercantile guild. :)
-
I thought mob was designed by some Chaladonian guy? Something from the old forum?
-
My memory is earthquake levels of shaky. But the story I remember is that some guy from some Faction designed the mobula for some rich and/or Highborn person who wanted to see the stars from the deck of his ship.
-
I need this on a sticky-pad.
Goldfish is unknown, probably Yeshan.
Galleon is Yeshan.
Pyramideon is Yeshan
Spire is Baronies.
Junker is Arashi, but not really a "formal" design.
Squid is Chaladon.
Mobula is Guild.
And knowing is half the battle.
-
Goldfish -is- Yeshan.
Arashi are just desert marauders, they don't have the resources to make unique and symbolic ship designs on a daily basis.
Mobula is "designed" for guild by an outside party but since it is owned by guild you could say it's Guild.

lore doesnt make sens, why make sense of ships :P
-
Because they're bored Skrim, bored people can make sense of anything.

hmmmm I wouldn't mind a winning kill replay though. I often do get confused on what factor of which to blame the scrub on his ball dropping.
Now instead of saying you suck. I could then say you suck because of this screw up that you repeated.
EVERYBODY SAW. you dun goofed.
