In terms of a game, I believe that factions are an important part of the setting and story. Especially those that are unique.
Examples include: ROTR's five factions: USA (Generalist), GLA (Subversive), China (Spammer/Horde), Russia (Powerhouse) and E.C.A (Cannon/Turtler) The Paradox Mod: Allies (Generalist/Air Force), Soviets (Powerhouse), Empire (More elitist- bit hard to pin down), Confederate Revolutionaries (Subversives- good guy GLA.), Order of the Talon (Elitist/Powerhouse/quality), the Mediterranean syndicate (Cannon/Ranger), the Atomic Kingdom of China (more defensive in approach) and the Electrical Protectorate (Spammer). I love unique factions and I wanted to create a thread where people could post their own faction designs in any universe they want. They could be Post Apocalyptic Bandits, Cybernetic Purists, Dinosaurs, Alternate Dimension fascist super-maniacs with super tanks.

I had an idea for a faction. It is more fantasy-inspired than military sci-fi or contemporary, but that's how I roll baby.
This faction - let's call them the Natives - would use a combination of guerilla and stealth tactics, and would work together in harmony with nature to win. You see, they have totems that can connect with the nature gods and aid them in battle. These totems are constructed out of icons, with different icons having different effects on the enemy. Combining icons into one totem can have a multitude of effects. Their units would consist of archers, swordsmen, but also assassins, shamans that could command animals, and even priestesses that would use these totems and give them to individual units. Their base would be constructed in the trees and be stealthed at all times, and their units could also move quickly through the tree canopies. The Natives' "vehicles" would actually be armored war beasts that follow commands of a shaman. You don't control the beasts directly but rather tell the shaman what to do with them. If your shaman dies, the beasts would run amock and kill everything before fleeing, and you'd have to recruit more beasts for your army. Eventually, if they have the entire forest under their control, they would contact the nature gods which would be their superweapon. The nature gods rain down hellfire on the enemy, with lightning storms, fire tornadoes and all kinds of chaotic weather. Don't mess with the Natives. In order to combat them you would have to take down their strength; the forest. Cut down trees, burn down swathes of land and just impose your industrial empire on their land. Eventually, the Natives will run out of beasts to command, their totems will become weaker and the nature gods will abandon them. Then all you have to do is bring down the last trees and kill their leader. Well that's my idea of a faction, basically. I have a lot of ideas about different factions, for example another idea I have is based on an alien aristocracy, where species with more telepathic abilities control the majority, and their way of conquering others would be through claiming their land and imposing taxes. -------------------- |
