Chapter 3 Factions and TP Restrictions

Post by boinged »

I've been thinking about these recently and I'm coming round to the fact the sky isn't falling in after all.

These changes are going to affect everyone, we will all have to make sacrifices.

Kami/Karavan cult members will only have access to their factions tps while that region is neutral. When a region has been taken by a faction then tough luck to the others. I don't think anyone has a problem with that.

For now Trytonism is a minority faction, it's supposed to be a secret society after all. I would expect some Trytonists to even be part of factions to conceal their identities and possibly sabotage Kami/Karavan efforts. If I supported this faction then I wouldn't expect an easy life.

Hominists could either be Kami/Karavan or Neutral. If the cults start demanding homin sacrifices then they stop following them :p A hominist could have taken part in the war event as purely a digger/careplanner.

That leaves neutrals like myself who want to keep their options open. I'm as likely to join either side for a short spell, then switch over and fight against them. I don't expect my life to be easy either and am happy the cults will forget traitors with a few missions ;) I was a bit shocked at the tp changes for neutrals for a start but now being neutral will show your dislike of the factions in a stronger way. There will be other advantages when regions are closed to factions. If a whole land is closed to Kami then at least the neutrals can tp into the lower areas which might be closer than the capitals the cult-members have to port to.

I see the game as evolving and I welcome the change - I don't want to be playing the same thing for 8 years. I'm worried that people will read about these changes and assume the worst - I do want to be playing with the same people for 8 years ;)

Eveyone seems to know more about these changes than me. Is there a link that says what the changes are, or at least what they think they're going to be at the moment? I confess that what I've heard so far makes me nervious.

You can see it in the "Now in test/under development" sections. Other long term changes are the title changes and the final animation thing
