Title: Factions to play in SMAX DEMOCRACY GAME
Post by: Mart on April 27, 2018, 08:58:39 PM

Since we already have several players voicing intent to play, we can start setting up.
Which 2 factions are we going to play?
You can choose between 1 to 12 factions! Also describing your options in the thread would give us more info, if you want to assign weights to your votes.

Factions will influence our playing, to some extent. Being it roleplaying, or factional parameters which give us benefits or make our faction worse than other in some other aspect. Ultimately, how we play would depend on us, so: militaristic Gaians? why not? builder Spartans? sure! Peacekeeping and philanthropic Morganites? possible.

Much time passed from the last DG (domocracy game), so I think there is no faction, that would feel like repetition of something we had recently.
We do not really need to think about how chosen 2 factions would relate to each other. If we choose for example one militaristic faction and the other peaceful and very good in fighting, it would need to adapt not to be conquered quickly.
