Poll: Imperial Rheinland

[Strichev]

If this is to happen Rheinland needs to pay a heavy price in land, wealth, and blood. This should be made clear by the devs to the faction leaders proposing such a move. That imperial ambition can rise only from the smoldering ruins of this Rheinland.

A civil war not unlike the Russian one with many factions and ideologies, with foreign powers interfering everywhere they can. And what of the people? Starvation, flight, terror attacks, the economy in shambles, conditions not unlike and beyond those described in vanilla rumors and infocards.

The transition should be gradual with plenty of time to develop characters and RP. Interesting in-game events should take place all over Rheinland, the story capture the struggle, the change in the collective mindset of Rheinland, the descent into a maelstrom of violence both physical and psychological.

Story devs should provide a rich backstory woven out of bits of in-game rumors, base infocards, wrecks and all that goes with it.

Indeed, care should be taken to steer Rheinland away from the obvious peril, the pull of RL history; Reheinland's Second Empire must not turn into the Third Reich. Danger has many faces when pursuing this story; forced change, cheese, Space Nazis, illlogical developments, boredom, loss of RP opportunities for various factions and likely many more.

Honestyl, I have little faith in this. But the potential for a fun, awesome story is there.
