Yeah I wish there was a better way to make it so people worked with their neighboring factions better, rather than having artificial diplomacy outside of the game. I saw an idea that might be interesting, was to have the default native factions, and people fight for control of the faction (basically factions we have now, would be "lords" vying for kingship). not sure how the hell that would work though
That being said, I liked FCC being around last strat, it was an "active" faction (as active as factions can be expected to be, which is pretty damn minimal sadly), and initiated battles and generated interest in strat (either for or against them).
