The Poster Formerly Known as MartinLuther
In June of 2013, SonicTH made an IOT called RIGGED (Realities Intertwined, Good Guys, and Evil Doers.) The point of the IOT was to combine 2 completely different franchises and travel through space. Although this mod is a bit different, it won't have the same factions as the IOT (excluding one) and it won't be about space travel, but random map generation (unless you guys want me to make a pre-made map.) I started this thread to brainstorm ideas for factions. You can come up with as many factions as you like. If I like an idea for a faction I'll add it to the mod. I'd like a full 31 civs, for variety.
Here are some rules for making a faction:
1. Don't use a franchise I already added.
2. You can only have two franchises to add for your factions.
3. Don't PM me your ideas, post them here, for all to see.
4. No religions or ideologies for your franchises.
5. No mods for your franchises.
6. Nothing too obscure for your franchise (example: For my franchises I choose Harry's War and When the Bough Breaks.)
7. Leave a Wikipedia, IMDB, or TV Tropes page for the franchises your using.
8. Don't use movies/games/etc. that combine 2 or franchises for one of your franchises (example: For my franchises I choose Marvel vs Capcom and Foodfight.)
9. No fanworks.
10. No adding two very similar franchises (example: I combine The Simpsons and Family Guy.)
11. Most importantly don't complain when I don't add your faction.
