1) They will all be present! A big part of Alpha Centauri, after all, was the conflicting ideologies among the factions.mmm interesting. @Shard
1) Will all factions be present we're just choosing the one we want to start as?
2) What's the current goal of the quest? Is the empire a threat, or just background?
Hey now, lets not go making assumptions plenty of room to justify themselves into being the bad guys.
Cheers. Never played it, my understanding of it is that its the far superior original to Civilisation beyond earth (which I have played.)1) They will all be present! A big part of Alpha Centauri, after all, was the conflicting ideologies among the factions.
2) The goal of the quest is to make a new life on a new world. And yes, the Empire is a threat that will come up later in the quest. It's not like the portal to the new world can't be replicated..
@Shard
1) What sorta aesthetic we looking at? Modern magi-tech, medieval fantasy, steam punk? Sure different factions, but rule of thumb?
2) Similarly races and gods? We looking at humans, rat people, gods real or what we make of em etc?
Cheers.1) Lemme see...
Utopians: Mix.
Hive: Mass production no jutsu, Steampunk. The Hive has the worst access to magic among the factions.
Druids: Medieval Fantasy, but replace knights with bears, wolves, native mind worms, etc.
University, Traders: Magitech
Nobles, Believers: Medieval Fantasy
Old Empire: Mix
2)
Race: The Empire is mostly human dominated, but there are presumably all kinds of races across the land.
Religion: Gods run on belief, and The Empire has/had a whole lot of deified God-Emperors/God-Kings. Combined with conflicting ideologies between Emperors/Kings & Personal conflicts & Assassinations... The Empire is a very not stable place. Think religious warfare + civil ears whenever an Emperor croaks. Part of why you all are escaping to here.
Basically the divine pantheon of The Empire is massive mess.
You can't tell me what to do! *skateboards into a minefield*
I'm not sure how I would do that (mix of factions), but if the voterbase decided to do a write in, like so:
Ah then it's probably a bit late since people tend to only vote once.... but I'll change my vote to that then.I'm not sure how I would do that (mix of factions), but if the voterbase decided to do a write in, like so:
[] Write in: The Traders and The University
I'd go figure something out.
