Early on we wanted to kind of have an alliance with Restoration because we didn't want to have to murder or imprison what are essentially the good guys because we wanted to be a kinder Eggman (partially because we don't want to upset Belle). Then the QMs said we can be better, but Restoration will have to be defeated because Eggman refuses to keep it around (and they won't accept being under us), and fighting Gouji or the Empire will not be easy without the power granted by destroying our other factions. Then we decided we wanted to focus on getting our land back from the Deadly 6 because they are more specialized against us and have a lot of our tech we can take advantage of.
I will say, GUN was fair game originally because of what they did to Maria and Gerald, but with the alliance we might want to wait that out. So I see us taking Restoration after we retake our land and MAYBE deal with the two hidden factions.
There's the Empire too in the equation too.
The idea was once we reclaim our territory we focus on the Empire's foothold and maybe get a Metal Selvaria from the whole deal, after all the Empire is here for two objective mining ragnite to power they superpower, that we don't know anything about it, and loot advanced technology while grabing some land as secondary objective.
Sure kicking them out of Greem Hills will not stop they attacks unless a cease fire is agreed but at least they will have to invade with a heavy mallus in the Contest Power rolls in our favor instead of let them free to exoand with bo mallus.
However Rouge enters in the picture. According to QMs she will expect us to interven in the Synadicate City once we reclaim enough terrtiory and expect we start preparing right away for it.
So we probably should not get into a fight with anybody beyond the necessary to gather our forces and luckly next turn we can make a recall signal for all the badniks left leaderless once Zavok leave for parts unknow.
Clutch, that we believe is one of the hidden faction leaders, make things complicate as he recently orchestrate a False Flag attack and blame on us, for some reason, that get most of the Restoration citzenry believe we are responsible will start to put pressure on the Restoration to fight us. Even though people that know Eggman MO don't believe that for one second.
So Hidden Factions are dangerous in they own righ since they will try to manipulate public factions to suit they own goals.
So the idea here is to claim much terrtiory as possible, send Starline to occupy the former stornghold of Zavok thus unlocking the second action there, and maybe start a PR Campaign to divide the Restoration citzenry opinion of us to lower the calls of war against us or start start to form cracks among the civilians, something that Clutch will not expecting from our part and may mess with his plans somewhat.
While we prepare our forces to interven in Syndicate City and maybe call GUN in the fight since we do hsve a temporary alliance with them and all collbas against Black Arms has a +10.
