Techmix-nerf and factions which are unique in RELYING on techmixing

It doesn't matter. What you said is they are canonically non-existent. The Bundschuh haven't changed anything outside of Rheinland. They haven't even changed anything INSIDE of Rheinland. They're sure as [redacted] hell there, aren't they?

The Bundschuh have bases outside their guard system and have been developed by Discovery (Clopenburg base? I dunno. You should know more than me about that one, Kairen), so I'm really not sure what your point is there.

Then show me changes of other factions? As I can see only Galia makeing changes in Sirius, in Bretonia and Kusari more exactly. How could HF or SCRA make a change? We do those changes inRP.

No, those closest factions don't exist in the storyline. Read all of the .86 development documents, and you'll find no trace of them. More tellingly, you'll find no canonical trace of them outside their respective faction playpens.

There was an argument on the dev forum a while back (aimed at the CR, I believe) which stated that so long as a faction leader wanted to dictate their own storyline and diplomacy, they would never have a bearing on the mod's lore and storyline.

Basically, if you want to influence things like a real NPC faction, you have to become a real NPC faction and sacrifice some freedoms, i.e. the ability to determine the direction your faction travels in. Your personal story-arc would be decided by Igiss and the devs, the same as every other group.


Also, I'm basically in agreement with McNeo here. Tech chart was implemented because of a population boom, and this is being implemented now because the tech chart is too unwieldy to work properly. It was a stop-gap solution at best, and conceptually, the idea that something should replace it has been kicking around for yonks.
