Nation/Faction Rules

Nations and Factions

Credit: Origami

Nations and factions exist in a tenuous balance, for without the other they would not exist - Nations need factions to perform tasks and services for which the faction is awarded, while this causes factions to thrive and grow. Factions worth their salt will need the nurturing care of a nation, provided to aid in the Faction's growth - though by all means factions are free to align to a nation or be true to themselves, the choice is theirs. Nations and factions share the same resource - Influence - though while this is true nations tend to start out mostly developed while factions start with a small list of caveats and proceeds from there.

Gaining Influence

Factions and Nations (Realm/Clan) can gain a significant influence in other nations and areas that may be defined into two different types; Dread or Glory. Accruing either or both nets the gain of overall influence and can be used for certain bonuses when role-playing in influenced areas, used to push faction agendas in reaching milestones that unlock more functionality, and other bad-ass goodies. Influence is gained through Myths, Faction-specific campaigns, and Events; and may never be barred from gaining either type of inflience in an area (however they may only have Dread or Glory in a particular area). There is no limit to the gain of Glory/Dread, however faction's influence and rewards are capped

Forms of Influence

Dread
While sounding evil in nature, Dread isn't always bad especially when it's the bad guys who are scared, This type of influence grips a nation in fear and foreboding of your presence in their lands. Denizens may cower before you or ignore you completely in the face of your treachery, choosing to turn a blind eye to it all for fear that if they oppose the factions influence they will pay dearly.

Glory
Glory is brought on by respect and heroism (such as hometown heroes). A few example of acts that gain glory would be getting rid of a mythical beast for a nation, assisting the nation in dire times of need, or political interaction and favor. Your tales of legendary wit and combat are spread throughout the land and the faction is celebrated if not adored.

Nations

Establishments of great vested interest will begin to gather under a system after while, wanting the uniformity and stability which a Nation offers, yet this is not always meant to be as Clans tend to be largely free form while Realms are heavily stratified. Either way, when citizens and settlements are gained under one ruler whether through conquest, subversion, or loyalty a nation will rise and re-shape the power climate of the world. Nations and Factions share the same roots and paths, however while the Faction is a new venture, a Nation already has a framework build and into play.

National Framework

All Nations Have...

• Settlements: Each nation when created has one to five settlements/sub-forums
• Guardsmen: Each nation when created has a unit of soldiers
• Reliquary: Each nation when created has three relics
• National Bank: Each nation when created has ten-thousand crowns
• Forward Operating Bases: Nations may already begin creating these bases.
• Special Ops: Nations may already send people on special ops.

Factions

Credit: Origami

Factions are often formed to gather those with like-minded tendencies underneath one umbrella for a purpose, then to organize these members and grow larger, perhaps pursue a new purpose or goal, or to just continue pursuing the purpose which brought the faction together in the first place.

Milestones

As your clan rises in influence whether through dread or glory and becomes present in the world of Trinor, their influence will rise accordingly. Strength and capabilities will increase and be unlocked once your establishment hits certain "Milestones" in their growth. When a milestone is achieved via influence the faction in question unlocks bonus perks for their efforts such as additional special npc lots,Faction/clan/nation specific SA's and weapons etc.

Milestone Levels

• Level Two (200 Influence): Faction-Specific Item & Building Slot
• Level Three (400 Influence): Special Ops, Special NPC, +100 Influence
• Level Four (800 Influence): Forward Operating Bases and Building Slot
