Factions

Herro Riftlandians!

Okay I'mma cut the crap now.

We're eventually going to have Factions, yes. 
There will be 2 or 3, namely Magical, Scientific and (Possibly) Rebel/Rogue/Outcast etc

What I want you guys to do is to post which you're thinking about joining :3 Info on each will be left down below.

There may or may not eventually be more then these, and the Rogues might not even exist, but bare with Seif and the other staff.

Info:

MAGICAL
Leader: The one and only Chell the magical unicorn pony humper!
Faction Name: New Lunar Republic
Background: Originally from a far-off land, the name of which has dissolved into whispers through the ages, the Nytien have fair skin and dark hair and are legendary for their Battle-Magi and well developed farming methods. They don't focus on any particular aspect of magic, preferring a wide range of abilities including the four elements, agility, ranged and animal-related spells and incantations. Dark magic is frowned upon in their community but not condemned. Their city-structure is that of a Tri-Wall. Walls Cirlas, Sira and Thorn protect them from most of the outside world, with four entrances for trade caravans and the like. They have no religious views and pray to no being.
Mod Focus: Thaumcraft (for now, more will be added such as Divine RPG as a possibility, there will be magical weapons.)
Perks: Proficient with Magic and Magic items, more magicka(or possibly can use tiers that Scientific can't)
Downsides: Less proficient with melee (Not sure if possible) and less Machina (again, tiers are possible)


SCIENTIFIC
Leader: Clockwork_Cyborg the Mormon Jew sheepshagger polygamist.
Faction Name: Alethkar
Background: These Machine-Workers came from an alternate dimension, under the rule of the Ix, the Voidal Dominion. They are large beings, arms toned by the rhythmic ting of a hammer on blade or chain, and are usually quite volatile but introverted. Known for their berserkers and superb armour they call themselves the Blackened Ones, their true name unknown to all but their Pastoral Elders. They follow their own style of religion. One in which there is one true God who is the father of all spirits of their race, before they were even sentient. The Blackened Ones believe that this god gave them their might and skill with the anvil and machines. Machines come easy to them and they use them well compared to the Nyrtien, who never seem to quite grasp more than the simplest of appliances. The same could be said however for the smithies in relation to Magic, it does not agree with them or their nature. The Blackened Ones live in a large city with a central tower, which is their closest contact with their Father.
Mod Focus: Mekanism, Balkons weapon mod, Redpower etc (The Lunar republic can still use these but are limited)
Perks: Better at melee combat. Moar Machina/Higher Tiers of machines
Downsides: Bad at magic, no access to higher tiers, less Magicka.



So yes. That's all for now as we don't have a clue about the Rogues, but more shall come.

TL;DR: Magic Faction does magic shit and isn't as good with machines and the Sciencey faction is the opposite.

Just post the name of the Faction you're leaning towards and why, or a comment on how to possibly improve on this idea

Thanks <3

QQ well i am leaning towards the side of magic but idk matters wut the outcasts are like it just sounds cool

Do you have to join a faction?

I was more leaning towards being a scientific magician but if i have to decide well i guess science, though plox can we have industrial craft 2, also why would the science faction be religious and not the magic? Also it be hilarious if the god the science people believed in was Notch

I like potatoes.

hmmmm Im thinkin ima be tech if its all over god just so I can scream at people for being god forsaken heathens...

+cooler name

and I have sex with redpower

fak u

when will the modpack be finished?

Hopefully we will start bug testing this coming week.

Can I make rebel factions 3,4,5 and maybe 6?

oh and magic faction 2.5

Important question of the day: Is there going to be towns apart from the factions? like the town is on  the factions side but is not the faction?

 You can of course make your own cities which will be part of the faction of your choice, but will still be your own town.

i will make the hardcore 2.0 faction you cant eat or place blocks and if you die you die in real life but you dig dirt fast

Will there be faction vs faction wars? if so how would it work? would there be: 
1# A call to arms requesting everyone to come online and go to the battle grounds? or
2# would would it just be fought out immediately after it is declared as War? tbh i prefer the first choice.

Ideas have been floating around for quite awhile now. One idea that I like the most is dividing the map up into territories. The more territories a faction controls, the more bonuses and goodies they get etc etc. We are still pretty unsure. Ideas would be greatly appreciated.

and the factions would fight for the territories? also i would like to know if in Faction vs faction they would ask the people to come online to fight for there faction.


 Aside from that i have an idea: what if each faction has it's own main territory like capitol territory and all territories and named and the server gives you a message when you enter a territory and in the capitol territory is a grand city.
 
 Also will the worlds be unlimited cause other wise the spacing would be kinda difficult and unlimited worlds are better because you do not run out of resources in a world.

 Finally, i think it would be awesome if the two factions could team up later on and fight a sort of world boss like a incredibly buffed Enderdragon or something of the sort.  
Well that is all i have in this comment i look foreword to your reply.

sooo this is becoming civilization minecraft edition?

but really if their was a smaller world that would be sexy.
