Name your faction for alliance mode
« on: September 07, 2015, 11:17:48 pm »
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.

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.

Kamoba has a backstory from the baronies, but has worked with.Merc Guild (TT) and Anglean mercenaries (Ryder)...

So I guess Baronies traitor. 8)

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^^

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...
