Faction, World and RTS Game ideas, A place where you can post all your RTS game, Faction and World ideas Options

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.

Another part of mine idea is a futuristic war which have two faction: UN and World Revolt.

Lore: Long into the future the Earth become a united government with UN become the sole leader of the whole world. Even though plenty of people never like this idea many of times the UN already suppress any kind of objection with military oppression and beating up any kind of riot on the street (You can say they are very totalitarian). And due to the amount of poverty due to the globalization a new unified faction were created as the same as Generals GLA - the World Revolt.

Normally the super power got a habit of doing 'divide and conquer' tactic to keep tier potential enemy distracted from them but this time there is an unknown organization who keep unifying and manipulating this Revolt army. This army is not just a normal bunch of ragtag terrorist but they are also backed with high technology stolen from the other developed country. Some of the conspiracy theory said there are many multi-cooperation who pour the money into this army and bribe the government to their manipulation for those technology.

Factions: Each of the factions got 3 sub-factions with 3 different doctrines and their own hero as well. (Since I haven't think of their name so I will only said their purpose and role).

UN:

-Rapid Reaction Force (Subversive): An army that make use heavily on air force, amphibious vehicle and special force. Their job is to quickly deploy their army into the designed target and complete their task as fast as possible. They are the highest mobility of all UN branches but they are also fragile and costly as their special force and air force are made for mobility purpose not frontal combat purpose.
Technology: Aviation, hover tech, aircraft stealth material and personal cloaking device (for special forces).
Hero: A flying jetpack hero armed with a missile launcher and a laser painter to call in orbital strike.

-Thunder Roar Division (Powerhouse): The frontal army of the UN force, they are 100% brute force. They field the heaviest tank, devastating support power with air strike and area denial weapon. The only problem with them is that they are slow and costly, they also extremely specialized and lack of a strong air force.
Technology: Vehicle armor material, heavy exo suit.
Hero: A cyborg with heavy armor armed with a cannon and a machine gun for anti-ground purpose but he is extremely slow and fragile against the air force.

-Eden Protector (Turtle): This faction make use of heavy fortification and artillery along with orbital strike to stop the enemy from afar. They are the faction with the worst mobility of all factions and they can be rushed very easily.
Technology: Orbital technology (orbital kinetic strike, orbital drop, satellite scan), nano tech (for healing purpose).
Hero: A heavy sniper who require himself to deploy to use, can one hit infantry and vehicle but he cannot escape from his death if the enemy found his position because he is too slow to move.

World Revolt:

-Global Insurgent (Horde): This sub-faction hold the highest quantity among all branches of the World Revolt. It is a combination of many terrorist groups and mercenaries around the world. Due to their large number and a huge support from the poor people of the poor region they don't have to rely too much on guerrilla warfare anymore. Instead they can field more number and massed cheap and outdated weapon for frontal combat (but they still need some good micro and harassment).
Technology: Technology acquired from hijacking and stealing, chemical weapon (virus, toxin, illusion gas, acid which reduce vehicle armor).
Hero: A terrorist who use a toxin RPG from a defected scientist who developed many of dangerous chemical weapon, this RPG can fire a different kind of chemical round.

-Geist Division (Cannon): An army who use stolen technology from other countries through blackmailing and bribery. It said they are rumoured to cause many assassination and hacking around the world. Their army have nuclear weapon stolen from other countries (the UN don't use much nuclear weapon anymore since they realized orbital strike are much effective and it doesn't cause any of radiation problem). Although they look like subversive but they make a heavy use of railgun and nuclear weapon which give them a lot of firepower for frontal combat.
Technology: Stealth, hacking, spying, railgun and nuclear weapon.
Hero: A young female hacker expert who got a huge bounty from the UN as she stole many of UN technology to support the Giest Division army. She is armed with a personal cloaking device stolen from the UN and she can also temporary disable the enemy vehicle and structure along with stealing the money from the enemy structure. Basically she is a Black Lotus.

-Psionic Army (Technical): Although the UN government used to think of an idea of psionic army but the blueprint and the related data was stolen before the story even started. Turn out it was the Geist Division who developing them in the hidden facility in Antarctica with the use of various chemical to enhance their power. This psionic army are very fragile and lack of mobility as they are experimental psionic infantry. You will have to rely heavily on their special ability from mind control, levitation and mind reading to defeat the enemy as they lack a direct damage unit.
Technology: Psionic infantry, psionic weapon (Mind control, levitation, pryokinetic)
Hero: A female psionic who are able to mind control many person at once due to her powerful gifted psionic power. Geist Division are afraid of her as they keep an eye on her in case she might rebel and mind control the whole facility and turn it against them.
