Faction Name: Ukranoslovian 8th Division
Faction Type: Military Survivalists
Base: Military Base
Homeground: Military Complex on a hill
Terrain: Muddy, rainy no-man's land
Biome: The Moldovianan-Ukranoslovian Warzone (Imagine what happens when two nations can't decide where a border is and turn the area between them into endless war)

Fluff:
Moldovania and Ukranoslovia have always been at war. Since the dawn of their two histories, they've been embittered in combat.

Even by the time of the fall, while the rest of the world enjoyed major advances in science, space flight, and utopias and post-scarcity, even despite constant pressure from other nations to pursue peaceful end to their conflict, Ukranoslovia and Moldovania would embitter themselves in grueling war.

Such was the fate of the two nations that they turned the area in between them into a vast warzone, a literal hell on earth where the two powers deployed endless troops. Entire generations of families have grown and died there as the literal mountain worth of metal, ammunition, supplies were thrown into the conflict.

It was such that, when the actual fall came, both sides did not notice it immediately. They simply considered it just another tactic of the enemy, perhaps a bit more brutal than usual, but they continued their war. Little did they know that the rest of the world all around them would soon become a battlefield

The armies and divisions there had long since, even before the fall, learn how to remain independant. How to cleanse the water from the chemically poisoned mud into drink, using gas masks to breathe the acid laced air.

To this day, their armies still wage war, not believing the "lies and propaganda" that both of their nations were destroyed.

And so our story begins, following the Ukranoslovian 8th Division, as they continue to hold the line just as their forefathers had done for generations past.

Because war, never changes.

It would, but the good thing is it'd be business as usual for these guys.

They've been at war for so long, perhaps they might have even learned how to take care of themselves or perform basic actions even while fighting.

How the hell do they keep logistics running?

Not to mention if said event occurred they would of lost contact with their governments with the possible exception of a few remnants.

Not to mention a warfield in such a place...would be reeking in much that i haven't revealed yet. Mostly due to how awful it is.

Let me put it this way warfare pre fall was something else.

Something that could and would encapsulate ENTIRE fucking worlds in war that would last YEARS even with orbital bombardments. Wars where massive legions of clones would be thrown into the meat grinder like the fodder they are. Where due to 'humanity' clauses all manner of foul weapons were deployed without issue after all the people they were using weren't 'human'.

Basically I did a lot of research and thinking on what war would of been like...this included military sources.

and lets just say its something literally out of this world in sheer scale, awfulness, and awesome.


All i got say is this FUCK the Fallen Wars. Regret ever figuring sorting that shit out in the first place...good god was it awful.

Civ just cares about fighting is boring. Your Fallout references are on-point but not enough to make a faction that would actually be fun to play.

Power animals?

Like, mutated animals they get power and food from? Perhaps even fight? Could be interesting.

Perhaps a farm version of the old Grow Corps civ game focused on animals and beasts. They might do well with a Think Tank Hybrid.

Some kind of dogs/sheep combo.

"Supah hounds" and a heard of "titanic horn sheep" or maybe those heawks from the ill fated fantasy civ.

Some kind of super-sheep or cattle that can survive the hardy wastelands, and then a badass guardian animal of some kind.

If the QM lets us get away with it we should get super hawks or insects for scouting as well.

Either way we MUST start with gene facilities so we could potentially research and develop new animals as the game goes on.

>>36103809
Some are suggesting we can just start out as government remnants, and then perhaps build or aquire those facilities. We could even be privvy to such government classified info notwithstanding not being a Think Tank, even if we can't immediately apply it.

That is true.

Be aware those government remnants doesn't necessarily mean your from just any government. You could for instance be made up of a group who shares some sort of ideology.

So you could in fact play a bunch of commies or something else and aren't just limited to some state or city entity ect.

United Nations Agricultural Research and Development - Fauna Division began as part of an intergovernmental organization to study and develop animals for the benefit of humanity. Some very good researchers and behavioral scientists contributed to projects that were originally aimed at increased food yields. Their flagship project - a massive rat swarm with near human intelligence and instinctive like of humans - was originally intended to eat agricultural pests, but saved the division during the fall. It seems that, while not particularly sophisticated in traditional measures of intelligence, it had an extraordinary capacity for prescience, and was able to communicate the impending danger to the best minds in the division, who arranged a division wide retreat at their experimental farm when the bombs fell on UNARD-FD's original headquarters. Reacting quickly, the farm was repurposed into a fortified lab/production facility. Though they miss their more sophisticated equipment, the scientists of UNARD-FD have the basics they need to become a powerful faction in the region, as they are able to produce that most basic of commodities.

Faction Name: The Blackwood Republic
Faction Type: Governmant Remnants (Want to add think tank hybrid for research? Or Survivalist so we can move without dying? Remember, YOUR vote can decide. Just say what you want)
Base: Government Bunker
Homeground: Forests
Terrain: More Forests
Biome: The Blackwood Forrest

North of the Mueke Jungles lies the temperate trees and hills of the Blackwood forests. Once but long ago, this place used to be interspersed with cities and farmlands, but when the fall came, just as it had in the Mueke, the trees retook the land.

Even so, Blackwood was always famous for its vast expanses of trees, so much that many efforts were taken to preserve it and national parks and the likes were created.

The so called, Blackwood republic, prided itself in it's efforts towards ecological preservation, as well as a long history of hunting and gathering.

It became a point that they would focus on "living off the forests" even as a nation. It would help them as they were but a small nation, surrounded by other larger players.

One of the many traditions that developed was the so called, Symbiosis. In ancient days, children would be paired with one of several animals. A child destined to be soldier would be raised with a mighty Warhound pup, a scout with a Razorhawk chick, a farmer with a Shepherds dog to raise mightly Heakewes or Bronzehead Cattle

How these creatures lifespans would seemingly match that of their owner, that they would die when their master and partner did, remained a great scientific mystery. Even in the modern age with cybernetic application and medical and psionic understanding great, the Symbiosis effect was unknown.

But the society that developed was one that was highly attuned to their forest home, and even while the fall was so terrible, their future generations and the dust of their remnants kept the tradition alive and strong.

If they were to survive the forest, they would need to be one with the forest.

I'll admit it, I just want a prescient hero, always. It seems to be the only way genie will warn us if we've got a bad plan.

>>36104091
I like this.. I suppose we should leave the hybridization out. We hardly ever get the bonuses for being a pure faction.

Noone replied to me last thread so I'll copy and paste potential borg-cop fluff:

>robotic police force
I assumed borgcops meant they were cyborgs, but if they were full robots that would make the fluff a lot more sensible.

Expanding on the military base / factory hybrid, it's an autonomous facility that supplies megacities order requests. After the fall it stopped receiving orders and so went into a standby mode where it simply regulated it's premises before entering a hibernate mode where it packed up and switched off most of the facilities. The active borgcops also retreated inside and switched off leaving only a deep-seated central computer that housed and perpetuated their virtual intelligences.

In the modern day someone or something (again, how about the hero?) discovered and re-initiated this facility. QM probably won't allow us a fully-functional facility so perhaps the hero is a hacker who has to reverse engineer all the protocols or something to reactivate it. As such, they've managed to access the central computer and communicate with the intelligences stored on it and to download some of those intelligences to some of the borgcop bodies but have yet to resume borgcop replication funtionality, automated defense, etc etc

Futhermore, unless the virtual intelligences piloting the borgcop bodies are truly fully aware it's unlikely that any of them are capable of researching advances or whatnot, which would fall to the hacker to do. Naturally one of his priorities then would be to improve the virtual intelligences until they are capable of progress themselves.

Nice.

Maybe we can have the UNARD-FD be a faction inside Blackwood, as a way to combined the two.

>>36104112
Nice.

>>36104186
>(cont)

Or perhaps over the time that the plant was in hibernate mode the virtual intelligences evolved within the central computer to a state where they already have research capabilities. Maybe they've diversified into castes with different function leaving one suitable for piloting borgcop chassis (too advanced an intelligence would require greater computing power than the platform can offer) and others optimised for other specific tasks. Perhaps the limitation of a fixed central hub has caused their numbers to decrease as the complexity of each individual increases. We'd certainly need to upgrade the central computer to meet the increased resource demands if that were the case.

More food for thought

It was a joke that went too far. The bandito bots on the other hand....

Eduardo "Hornytoad" Estrada, otherwise known as "the greatest bandit of all time" has become a very old, very rich bandit. This is rare, in fact almost unheard of. In his old age he looked back on his men and thought "shit these guys suck nuts. If only I had about 200 of my self when I was I kid" and then it hit him. He could have as many of himself as he could afford. He could clone himself. NOPE. Cloning is expensive as fuck and his scientists keep saying they need "certain parts" whatever the fuck that means.

His trusted AI advisor AI [redacted] came to him in his time of need. "Why would you spend perfectly good resources on flesh anyways, its weak and spongy. I know you, your personality, every battle you have been through, every less than savory tactic you have used, I have logged and recorded. I basically have a digital copy of your brain. There is no reason we can't just slap that shit into a robot body and call it a day"
NOPE. That shit took too much processing power.
So the AI Bullshitted and faked it. It made something that kinda looked like the notorious bandit but was also sort of..quirky. Made with out a budget, secretly, with nothing but found parts and ambition. No standardization at all. What ever AI thought they were neat. You could almost say he liked them. He presented his idea to Eduardo...

"Well shit, when you put it that way, let's give it a shot"

"Well sir, I sort of... Took the liberty of making a test batch, I knew you would like the idea, I know you very well.."

"..troubling, very well let's see the prototype"

"Presenting the Bantito Bot 3.1"

"What happened to the earlier versions"

"Uhh...."

>>36104455
Eduardo Estrada and his "Double E" bandits have long since been brutally destroyed. They went into some innocent looking bunker that turned out to be [redacted][redacted] to [redacted]&[redacted] only to end up [redacting] their [redacted] the [redacted] all over their shoes. The only survivors were the AI and his compliment of bandito bots.

After an extremely long drive through the arid wastelands (some bandito bots can transform into "low rider" motorcycle mode, or 2 can link up to make a pretty bad ass low rider flat bed pickup truck, mobility was very important to the Double E bandits) the bandito bots came upon their new home. A motherfucking radioactive mining facility that the EE bandits had recently looted. It's been a month or so but it seems unoccupied still, it's a bit of a fixer upper, radiated all to shit but a lot of the manufacturing equipment is still here, but a lot of the equipment deals with mining unstable radioactive materials. There does seem to be some heavy duty supercharged refineries of some strange build. they should be able to churn out resources of some kind.

With the new rules regarding gaining extra actions I would think we are as close to having as much pop as we can before unlocking our second action.

At the same time we need to take on more assets and increase our presence in the area before we can unlock another action. It's kinda twisted but I think I kinda get it.

Basically we have as much pop as we can justify for not having done anything.

I actually like where this is going.

Anyway, we have a number of people voting for big civ. Does it still need more votes?

I vote nature affinity. It may be easier to learn the latter than the former.

>>36106959
>nature affinity
Seems more useful on the whole to be honest

>>36107089
Yeah no, this is post apocalyptic, nature only gets so useful, Pair bonding is my vote.

>>36107225
>>36106959
Second for pair bonding

>>36107225
>>36107259
We can learn pair bonding through understanding nature

It'll be harder to learn nature with our pair.

Especially since we'd have to venture out into the forests.

>>36107225
But we're in a forest with plenty more forest. That's a lot of nature and high nature affinity could give us far more applications with the various plants and whatnot we find there, not to mention a presumably more stable food supply.

Pair bonding? Great, the animal lives as long as you do (provided it doesn't die before it's time). Presumably it's well trained having lived for a while, but it's not got a telepathic connection or higher cognitive functions or anything than it would without pair bonding. I just don't see the point.

>>36107286
This too

>>36107319
Admittedly pair bonding has the advantage of just being awesome, as well as our initial animals providing many other benefits in the forest itself, sniffing out trouble.

We may even be able to make pairs out of animal pups we find and domesticate.

Tough decision really. Wish we didn't have to choose.

>>36107319
We have done the nature affinity to death though. Flavor wise I like the idea of our dudes having battle pets. Not EVERYTHING needs to be min maxed.

>>36107359
We hardly min max as is.

Usually it's a lack of intelligent starting choice that get us killed so quickly.

>>36107351
What's to say we've not already been training animals? It'd be weird for us not to have been doing this considering the location.

>>36107359
Oh, well I haven't participated in many of these so I wouldn't know about prior runs. As for min-maxing, what I've seen so far suggests that we really ought to where possible.

Actually, I'm just about to explain that.

>>36107471
Sadly yes, or crits force them through.

>>36107460
Easy, rather than making them hippies you simply make it such that they have great knowledge about the ecology they survive in. They have documented the various flora and fauna, their potential uses, hazards, etc

It's like calling someone capable of surviving in a jungle a hippie.

Less that, more the fact that the Blackwoods Republic was such a small isolated nation surrounded by more larger neighbors, and that they needed to become one with their surroundings to defend their home.

Think Vietcong or Jungle Afghanistan

Anyway, writing.

I'm getting a bit of a shamanistic, totem animal vibe from Blackwood. Which would give us other strengths besides battle pets. It would basically be a low-risk magic flavour versus a science flavour if we go with nature affinity.

I think if we want to stay true to the original Blackwood idea, we should go with pair bonding (though I'd rather fluff it as 'Everyone's particularly good at training animal X' rather than an 'everyone has one pet')

>>36107494
Even without crits, it's only a matter of time and luck before someone/thing that is infinitely our greater takes notice of us, and then we die.

>>36107635
"Blackwoods Republic. What a joke."

"I hear you man, we should have these savages mopped up by the end of the month."

The Imperial soldiers walked through the jungle, their walker scanning the horizon as they marched through.

The soldiers passed through, and laughed as one of their own fell into the mud after a disturbing a colorful bird that squawked at him loudly, before flapping away.

Some were not so enthused.

"Shut up and keep a look out. These fuckers could attack at any moment."

"Yessir. Wait, what was that."

The soldiers hushed up, guns raised, waiting.

It came from behind them, under the walker. From behind the leg of the walker, an animal peered out and looked at them, before leaping off into the jungle.

"Just a fucking animal, it's nothing. Let's move on an-"

It wasn't.

One of them noticed the blinking object attached to the back of the walker, and had all of 3 seconds left think on it before an explosion through him.

Those who survived regrouped, called for supporting, focused on finding out what the hell happened.

>Con't

>>36107857
Encircling around the burning hulk of their walker, they aimed their guns into the forrest.

"Do you hear that?"

All around them they heard rustling, movement, the leaves and branches dancing.

"They're everywhere."

"Suppressive fire!"

They filled the tree-line with lead, shooting at any movement or noise they heard, one of them was picked off by a bullet that cracked the air around them.

"We're sitting ducks in here, MOVE"

They tried.

"FUCK, something bit me"

"You've been shot you idiot"

But even as he spoke his breath heaved and he fell over, his racing heart having spread poison to his body with deadly efficiency. The others ran, or tried to. What was supposed to be a disciplined escape soon turned to chaos. Some fell into traps or explosives, others sounded something had pounced on them. And everywhere around them, that same horrible rustling around them. They ran, leaving others behind to their fate.

It wasn't long before the last one realized he was all alone.

Running until his lungs would give out, the sounds of animals behind him. He turned around, his last sight was the jaws of a Warhound inches from his face.

---

At the end, 10 Imperial soldiers lay dead, 1 wrecked walker, with some ammunition as spoils.

2 figures covered in foliage and leaves moved out. A sniper with a colorful bird perched on his arm and a demolitions expert with a war-hound at his side.

And all it took was a little birdy to send a message, a dog to run around the bushes, and a handful of bullets and explosives.

>>36107319
You know what a Civ quest is right?

It's surviving and expanding. Yes we're in a forest now, but what if we expand to a I don't know WASTELAND?! what the fuck will our nature affinity do then? Also what if someone tries to burn down the forest

Aye. You have my sword.

Rolled 75 (1d100)

>>36108222
>>36107857
You know, even while I attempt to offer more fluff, we should probably do some civ planning.

Naturally, of course, we follow tradition and start off our day with exploring our base and nearby home-ground no?

This is a vote for that.

>>36108367
Humans can't survive in a wasteland.

As for what if someone tries to burn down a forest, a forest tends to fight back. Hard.

Believe me we've tried.

Also our terrain choice was forest, and since we're not survivalists we're not able to leave our HQ and I highly doubt we'll be able to expand beyond the reach of our terrain.

Trying to secure our home-ground is difficult as is. And what with all the monsters lurking in the forests, we may need it.

Or we can get animal pairing two.

I honestly wouldn't mind either or right now.

>>36108367
Assuming we get that far then the nature affinity would have enabled us to. What's more, from the suggested terrain earlier the only thing for miles around is forest so we'd have to do a lot of expanding to run out.

Burn down the forest and the symbiotic pets will suddenly find themselves in a very different environment so it's hardly just one trait that would be affected. Added to that, I'd imagine that with nature affinity our civ would have compiled a seed bank or similar of the forests plants and could thus switch to farming them locally as necessary or begin efforts to replant the forest.

I really would like to keep writing more fluff in an attempt for us to get both as it's clear many of us want both for very good reasons.

Wish I knew just how to get it down and what to write.

>The bonding process has interested scientists for some time now - during happier times, scientists visited often to try and study how it worked. It rates very low on psi or magic indices, but it is undeniably a strange effect - some theories said it involved some kind of biological mechanism for exchangeing genes across species, giving intelligence to the nonhumans and beneficial animalistic traits to the humans. Probably horse puckey, but who knows?

In any case, these visitng scientists have been stuck here pining for home too long! We must show that Blackmoore supports the scientific arts! We will support these visitors as they seek to expand their understanding of the natural world, and hopefully in crease our long term odds of survival!

Lost scouts have returned apparently they hit a real bad patch of weather and got lost with some underground horror as a cherry on top.

There are intact stores of supplies however much of the facility is rather empty from disuse. The hydroponics bay is merely operating at a fraction of its full capacity. Energy levels are also very low with only a single reactor in working condition.

Besides disuse and the other two problems that is all there is. Sadly as a bunker we ARE connection to some underground networks with some built in passageways but those too are currently locked down.

Besides basic disuse there are only those two other problems. If expansion is to occur the power will have to be dealt with unless we experience rolling blackouts.

guys in the hydroponics state the poor condition is simply due to disuse so a lot of it sorta...fell apart. That and the lack of power.

The power plant...ain't such an easy fix. As only one reactor is both operable and fueled. All the other are lacking at least one of those if not both.

They simply state with fuel they can bring back a few others but as for repairs...well if its lack of maintenance would be possible to do. Others that require actual repair...not so much. Moveable parts only do so much.

Again, I've not played enough of these to know what's come before.

If we agree that the tunnels are too risky right now, what other potential sources of fuel could we find? Could we use whatever powers the Power Walkers? If we did, how long would the fuel last and would it be more useful in Walker form?

Can we explore blindly in the hopes we discover another base somewhere that has fuel? Perhaps the site of a large battle from ancient times has nuclear powered machinery around that would be serviceable?

>>36111367
Well, for starters

Underground usually means three things: Death, Death, and Death. Nothing good has ever come from under the earth.

To answer your question, I believe we did, but if we fluff it well we might get a general fauna affinity. Which would probably require setting up a lab of some kind. But that requires power and resources, so... it's probably not our first priority.

>>36111482
>how likely is it that we'd be able to scavenge nuclear fuel?
Honestly, not too unlikely. Nuclear powered things are actually relatively common compared to what else is out there.

Even bandits can jurry rig reactors. Not to mention the sheer amount of wrecks out there.

>>36111567
Fauna affinity is more learned skill about the forest. What each plant does, how to read the signs and seasons, the behavior of the animals.

Things a civilization who has lived and embraced the forest around them ought to know.

>>36111588
>>36111482
It's funny actually, because a lot of monsters are capable of generating internal bio power that not only rivals but eclipses nuclear reactors, to maintain both sizes that are literally buildings AND numbers in the hundreds of thousands. Let alone that some of them actually spew hot plasma and radioactive acid.

We've been trying to figure out why, but never have.

Don't kid yourself bandits can jury rig anything and they don't care how many corpses it takes to make it work.

Its one of the most disturbing aspects about them. Their ingenuity that can only be beaten by a survivor. Though unlike a survivor they don't care about the costs in lives as much.

Wrecks however depends. The smallest sized reactor is the size of a car so only the larger vehicles are equipped with them.

Buildings however its much more common among them if it can be afforded anyway.

Not hard to get a decent generator which runs on cells though stuff capable of making dirty wastes requires the proper certs so they ain't nearly as common.

Tunnels opened...forces did some quick scouting and figured out the following.

There are a couple secret passages destination unknown.

One of the routes led to an underground railway.

The other routes appear to be escape/evac points.

Some of the evac routes appear clear but in disrepair. The hidden passages...one is connected and interlaced with our base.

The others...a couple are connected to the escape routes.

While the rest of them are connected to the railway or lead from our base...elsewhere destination unknown.

Some of the secret routes are believed clear and if your lucky in good repair. Sadly scouts confirmed there is something lurking everywhere else.

One thing that can be said a LOT of the underground routes appear in bad shape if your lucky.

If we have any gieger counters, now's a good chance to use them. Likewise if we have radiation sensitive critters. Naturally we'll want an armed squad or few if we're poking around large unlit spaces (I'm assuming the few lights don't extend to the station)

According to the prez fuel rods don't just lay around everywhere and those rail lines rely upon electricity and magnets to operate. The train station didn't have any fuel laying around just as was stated.

Nuclear fuel is usually kept in specialized facilities or holding areas.

Undoubtedly one of the most legendary generals in American history, Grant cut his teeth in the Mexican-American War, when during the Battle of Chapultepec, the young West Point graduate reportedly dragged a howitzer into a church steeple to bombard Mexican forces. He left the Army in 1854, reportedly over misconduct involving alcohol, and is said to have wanted to start a career as a school teacher.

But after war between the states broke out in 1861, Grant found himself back in the Army. He commanded troops in a string of military victories down the Mississippi River, the war’s western frontier. He eventually became the commander of the Union Army, and accepted confederate leader Gen. Robert E. Lee’s surrender at Appomattox.

He won the presidency in the election of 1868 and served two terms, largely focusing on reconstructing the Union after the Civil War.

Throughout his time in the Army, he displayed an unusual affinity for the dangerous and risky, from his talents as a horseman — setting a long-lasting equestrian high jump record.

And countless war stories involving his badassness
