The Corsairs are stupid. And i mean on a political level they made way too many enemies inRP for being the all macho-we -conquer-cause-we-can guys, apparently with no leader(again only inRP) being smart enough to see what problems are caused by this.
On the militaristic side it is the same, corsair war strategists propably are amongst the most incompetent in sirius(for whatever reason, and again only inRP) by keeping warfronts lierally everywhere, pushing and jabing in all directions and inevitably not being able to keep up the pressure to make it count.
What safes the Corsairs hide is actually the fact that they are low on food and ressources, showing the sair population that war is the only option to get what they deserve from the houses(and secretly controling population levels while at it). So the Corsairs might be dangerous if they for once focused and used their head, maybe a 1 year nap with the outcasts would be all that is needed, maybe some treaty with the Rheinland lawfuls , maybe some economic treaty with Kusari or all of the above...
As it stands the Corsairs will rush into Rheinland by being opportunistic- if that was a smart move at all will be shown in .88
As for the dearest enemies, most of them are equally screwed as the corsairs(safe the outcasts):
The mollies were always a smallish faction inRP wise, and i thought i even remember statements that if the Evil eye of Mordor errr the Corsairs or Bretonia could actually focus some serious troops oon them they would be squished, good shipbuilders or not.
Even if that was just a rumor, the Mollies are one of teh first faction which screwed themselves with being too buddy buddy- what do you think the Bretonian fleets would do if they see that the Mollies are attackt by anyone now that they side with the GRN? I bet they would move their Battlescampies into the first row, drinking tea and playing cricket while watching each and every molly getting butchered, solving a problem without losing a single ship(if the attackers are sairs i guess they would rush in AFTERWARDS to mop up waht is left).
And what will ahppen ass soon as the Gallic-nommie bubble bursts? Will the Bretonians "forgive" them, even if they didn't like em before anyways?
The SCRA is an ever painful thorn in everonse side that caught their attention, there is no doubt about it- but, they are a small faction aswell relying on partisan warfare as they do not have the fleets for conquest, so i would doubt they are a dire threat to the corsairs( a pain in the rear for sure though). Maybe their population is a bit restless with like 3 regime switches in only one year, serious infighting, killing off able fighters? Maybe they get into supply trouble as well as the Zoners might realize that the Coalition still has expansion plans into their territory...or maybe everyone takes a minute to rethink if it is really smart to support a faction that s bent on forcing its political ideals on others( hello Zoners again )....i expect much political drama with the Coalition which will be great to follow!!
Now the Hessians are an actual threat as they have a very good strategic location- and with one or two decisive victories could cut off the complete Omega fleet of the Corsairs. What i personally think is/should be a upcoming problem for the Hessians is how to explain that war to its members, new recruits and the general population.
Rheinland is war sore, all they know is fighting stupid wars for their Godkanzler so they seek rebellion with the Red Hessians, hoping on a bright future, prosperity for all and safety.
Now explain a willing but frightened average dude who picks up the movement why he should fight in...Omega 47,5,41 ....he will ask you: Omega WHAT? That isn’t rheinland, that is that unknown spooky stuff no one knows or cares about - my family is in rheinland, why should i fight to conquer dem friggin Omegas? Get rid of the Kanzler, screw the Corsairs – I thought you fight for us, not yourselves!
Same line of thought would apply for RM turncoats...
So i guess if the Hessian want to keep up their recruiting speed, happy members and still want to be a Rheinland revolutionary movement...they will not be able to fully press the Corsairs without losing the justification of their actions
=> Everyone has some serious problems with "the omega war"
Well, safe the Outcasts who probably are very happy with that side of Sirius and are either luring to deliver a painful stab to the Corsairs or try to conquer elsewhere while the Sairs a more than busy. Or, they just push cardamine and make everyone their puppets, not getting their hands dirty at all
Minor edit says: And when it comes to tech, it seems everyone in Sirius is "the best" according to all the ridiculous infocard fanservice...never found any that said "yeah, we are nice guys, but our shipbuilding skills just suck" so...with everyone being bestest, i guess everone is really just average
)....i expect much political drama with the Coalition which will be great to follow!!
