Discovery 4.86 Storyline: Kusari in 818 A.S.

[sovereign]

You know, it sounds like people think that this blurb is all of the new text that will be added in Kusari for 4.86. It sounds like people think this is all we have written, particularly on the Ronin.

Please, people *cough* Tycho *cough*, get it through your heads that this is a SPOILER. There has been a LOT more discussion than just posting this up. There will be even more discussion of exact lore and implementation as we get closer to a 4.86 release. We're not done yet. Yes, the itsy bitsy paragraph on the Ronin is not enough to get itself an NPC faction and all that. You're absolutely right. That itsy bitsy paragraph, however, is a SPOILER and not EVERYTHING. Do you really think that the dev team is so incompetent, lazy, and corrupt that you can get yourself a new NPC faction by writing half a dozen sentences? Honestly, that's just insulting.



Also, as one of the Ronin| mercenary faction players (I think I'm actually listed as the leader on MercNet... >.<), I'm totally fine with the name of the KNF splinter faction. It's not like we were official, or even well known. Hell, look at MercNet, last I checked we don't have any kills logged there, and I think you can count our total number of bounties claimed with your fingers. Possibly just your thumbs.

I just had an idea of such faction the other day, calling them "Texas Cowboys" and styling them as racist rednecks. They'll occupy Bonn, Altona, Freiburg and Baden-Baden and will terrorize three systems like no tomorrow.

Pff, that'd never work. Mwerte is on the dev team, and he leads RepEx, so clearly the storyline will be guided such that Republican never gets weaker. Just like how Zelot is a dev and the Emperor of Kusari, so clearly nothing bad would ever happen to Kusari, especially its Emperor. You know, stuff like getting their fleets ravaged, internal struggles that remove the Emperor from power, the majority of the new ruling class leaving the Emperor to die at the hands of the Gallic Royal Navy, things like that. Never going to happen.



EDIT @Akura:

Nomads in general, will do as they always do, attacking Sirians, but mostly ignoring Gallic Forces.

Skype me.
