Proposal: The Unstoppable Force meets the Immovable Object

3-7, cannot be enacted. fails -coppro

Add a new dynastic rule titled “Factions” with the following text:

There exist two factions called the League of True Botanists (LTB) and the Alliance of Ardent Ecologists (AAE).  All Farmers may belong to either of the two factions or neither faction (tracked in the GNDT).  New Farmers start belonging to neither faction.  As a weekly action, a Farmer may change the faction to which they belong.

This is purely superficial for now, but I was thinking we could add extra incentives for attacking players of the other faction or something.

My original comment about overhauling dynasty mechanics was more than a week and a half ago - a substantial length of time, even in this dynasty. I’m not sure quite where this mechanic is coming from, and I think we need to be moving towards an endgame rather than artificially extending the dynasty. against

imperial Depends on where this leads, but it sounds as if it was something for a new dynasty.

Sigh, what’s to say that this mechanic won’t get us closer to endgame?  I honestly don’t see your complaints.

Quit being a bunch of sticks in the mud. Or at least lie down so you cover the mud if you insist on this. Everything so far that has been proposed has been shot down for being “too late”. Then what the hell isn’t too late?

As far as I can tell, the only proposals that have been shot down for that reason are a thematic overhaul of the dynasty (which is what ascensions are for, even though I personally dislike this theme), and this proposal.

I can’t speak for the others, but I personally think a faction mechanic like this one only really works if it’s introduced within the first few days of the dynasty, so that the dynastic gameplay mechanics can be constructed around them.
