Neat Idea For Megafaction Counter

A place for governments-in-exile, plucky survivors, unlucky survivors, the horrifically mutated, and other assorted characters to ride out the nuclear hellstorm until it's safe to go outside again.

Neat Idea For Megafaction Counter

Postby Luminica » Wed Sep 25, 2024 7:02 pm

This would never happen in 1,000,000 years, but what if everyone just ganged up on Megafactions? I constantly see people complain about having to deal with factions like ANAL and KHAN, so what if everyone just decided to screw them over in particular? Not gonna lie, it may just work.

One of these days we really gotta get up and get this done. A strong contender at the moment seems to be the Grand Coalition. Perhaps along with recruitment, it would be wise to make alliances with almost all participants and factions. And not just non aggression, a common war. These mega factions leverage their massive numbers, we gotta counter that.

Realistically that would just create another megafaction, as alliances typically don't work as well.
We tried to throw a curveball at megafactions - they complained and now there's faction ejections. Good luck, we're about to see the same thing shake down for the 4th year in a row.

the only way to defeat the megafaction is as a megafaction (or a conglomerate of factions in an alliance that’s basically a megafaction)

the only difference about our megafaction is that instead of nuking the little guys, we nuke the big guys and ally with the little guys

Or just severely restrict production even further for non-WA nations and reduce the production cap so puppet scripters can't abuse the system.

Maybe there could be a limit to how many non WA nations are allowed in a faction at onece. Then again, they could just create auxilary factions for their main faction. But there needs to some adjustment of some sorts.

The best way to nerf and discourage megafactions would be to buff the production of WA nations while simultaneously further handicapping non-WA.
