RIGGED: Faction Brainstorming

[Civ'ed]

Maj8 is lawful evil, probably.

 

[Ailedhoo]

The Rouge Federation is likely to be Neutral Neutral or Chaotic Neutral.

Tropico is Lawfully Perfectional!

 

[dragonprobably]

I'll say it again. I want to combine V for Vendetta with something but I don't know what. Any suggestions?

 

[Civ'ed]

Combine V for Vendetta with South Par- wait, I bet that's already been done.
V for Vendetta with Highlander?

 

[Double A]

V for Vendetta with that one episode of Justice League where Flash dies, Supes kills Luthor, and the JL becomes the Justice Lords.

 

[Terran Empress]

V for Vendetta and injustice gods among us?

 

[Omega124]

For the three factions I made:

Human Coliation: Chaotic Good

Kanto Empire: Neutral Evil

GREYHOUND: Either True Neutral or Lawful Evil. (Metal Gear as a series is basically one big criticism on the concept of a traditional good vs evil narrative, so True Neutral would actually be apporpiate to show how they're deattached from moral-based conflict. On the other hand, GREYHOUND is clearly Lawful Evil )

 

[Terran Empress]

United Earth Directorate Space Command

Lawful Neutral, leans to Lawful Evil now and then.

 

[Double A]

V for Vendetta and injustice gods among us?

Justice League > Injustice

 

[dragonprobably]

God, I've been falling behind on this.

I've been thinking of combining V for Vendetta with Harry Potter, what do you guys think?

 

[dragonprobably]

Hey Civ'ed, are you going to finish your faction or what?

 

[Civ'ed]

which one?

 

[dragonprobably]

The Master Commander/Artemis Fowl one.

 

[Civ'ed]

oh right.
I've edited a bit to encompass the Napoleonic Wars a bit more (Master & Commander is naval-focused.)
Basically, faction outline is what if the UK used elves during the Napoleonic War?
Settler = Elvish Settlers
Worker = Dwarves
Defense = Gunner
Offense = Sailor
Light Infantry = Goblin
Regular Infantry = Regiment of Foot
Heavy Infantry = Troll
Scout = LEPrecon
Striker = Royal Naval Artillery
Sniper = Rocket Troop
Blitzer = Centaur
Marine = Royal Marines (HMS Neptune)
Spy = Maturin Circle
Stealth Attack = Sprite
Assassin = Pixie
Slaver = Press-Ganger
Controller = Admiral
Super Weapon = Butler Clone
Tank = Royal Dragoons
Land Transport = Titanium Pod
Paratrooper = Fowl Syndicate Criminals
Anit-Air = Swivel-guns
Scout Ship = Sloop
Cruiser = Snow Brig
Battleship = Schooner
Warship = Man-O-War
Submarine = Atlantean Ship
Precision Warship = Windjammer
Privateer = Privateer
Raider Ship = Neapolitan brig
Carrier = Airclipper
Sea Transport = galleon
Fighter = LEPrecon Craft
Bomber = Balloon
Air Transport = Airpod
Stealth Fighter = Pixie Craft
Stealth Bomber = Highlander Balloon

So, I showed this idea to one of my friends and he wants in on the project. So consider this project alive once more!

Tomorrow, I'll post some symbols for the factions. I've had these symbols for a while, I just never got around to posting them, though.

 

[Omega124]

Settler (builds cities, starter): Just the normal settler. I doubt we need UU settlers.
Worker (terraforms, starter): Again, the normal worker is fine.
Defense (starter, defensive): HMG Encampent
Offense (starter, offensive): Banzai Infantry
Light Infantry (faster, cheaper, weaker): Type 025 "Pikachu"
Regular Infantry (all around): Type 038 "Sandpan"
Heavy Infantry (stronger, more expensive, slower): Type 068 "Kairiky"
Scout (exploration): Type 085 "Dodorio"
Striker (has bombard): Type 045 "Ruffresia"
Sniper (upgraded striker): Type 003 "Fushigibana"
Blitzer (has blitz): Type 123 "Sycther"*
Marine (amphibious): Type 009 "Kamex
Spy (invisible, can detect invisible): Type 132 "Metamon"
Stealth Attack (has stealth attack): Type 076 "Golonya"**
Assassin (invisible, hidden nationality, stealth attack, can detect invisible, expensive): Type 094 "Gangar"
Slaver (enslaves): Type 065 "Foodin"
Controller (has zone of control): Type 095 "Iwark"
Super Weapon (differs between civilizations, buildable during the end): Type 150 "Mewtwo"

Anit-Air (defends against air units.) Type 82 "Rarecoil"

Sea:

Scout Ship (meant for exploration.): Type 129 "Koiking"
Cruiser (fastest, weakest, weakest bombardment, largest rate of fire) Tone-class cruiser
Battleship (all-around): Type 119 "Azumao"
Warship (slowest, strongest, strongest bombardment, lowest rate of fire): Yamato-class Battleship
Submarine (Invisible, detects invisible, stealth attack): Koiking-class Submarine
Precision Warship (an upgrade for the Warship, stronger bombardment, larger rate of fire, and stealth attack): Type 130 Gyarados
Privateer (hidden nationality, enslaves): SNLF Raiders (Really hard pressed to think of a good enslaving unit from actual Japan or Pokémon, so I took the American Marine Raiders and Japanified it)
Raider Ship (Invisible, hidden nationality, stealth attack.): Type 073 "Dokukurage"
Carrier (Carries aircraft): Unryū-class aircraft carrier
Sea Transport (Transports foot units across the ocean.): Type 131 "Laplace"

Air:

Fighter (strong defense, weak bombing): Zero
Bomber (weak defense, strong bombing): G4M bomber
Air Transport (can airdrop, holds units): Ki-56
Stealth Fighter (upgrade to fighter, has stealth attack): Type 006 "Lizardon"
Stealth Bomber (upgrade to bomber, has stealth attack): Type 149 "Kairyu"

You forgot a Paratrooper.

EDIT: Also, would this unit be a good worker unit for your faction?

 

[dragonprobably]

I hate to necro this thread, but I forgot I made these:

Spoiler :

I didn't intend to make animated leaderheads, I just wanted static leaderheads of the symbols of various factions. Sorry for the bad quality of the second image.

I like the Kanto Empire flag. As of now, it kind of looks a little Britishy, though. Maybe you should have the Pokéball slightly to the left, like the IJN flag? As per the Kanto Empire's paratrooper (totally missed that comment), The Teishin Shudan might work. And the worker is more than fine.

I see you don't have GREYHOUND or Human Coalition flags at all.

For GREYHOUND, I got two suggestions. The first one, which I think is kind of boring, is to take this stylized version of the FOXHOUND symbol, make it grey, and then add GREYHOUND underneath with this font.

My other idea, which I personally perfer, is if you take this version of the FOXHOUND symbol, change the Fox to Grey, and then roboticize the fox like the TF2 robot mercs look like (grey with glowing blue eyes). If done right, I think it would look really badass.

For HC, my suggestion is to take the XCOM symbol, replace the center diamond with the Mass Effect's Systems Alliance symbol, and then change the text above to "Human Collation"

I'll see if I can make it in FlagMaker 1.7.

I'm not sure if I can do that with it looking good. I'll try though. I guess the fox could look like this:

I'm going to have to look up GIMP tutorials for that.
