Really the only thing wrong with the second empire was the okranites. Things were going pretty great until they started the anti skeleton hate speech that slowly drove cat-lon insane over the course of 300 years

Nothing weird about playing a bad guy in an RPG with a lot of freedom to do whatever. But when you start defending something like that as the only moral choice outside of the in-game context… yikes.

I think one factor people often ignore is that a large reason why the Holy Nation is successful is due to geography. They are on one of the few green and fertile land in the entire world. It's easy to feed your people when you have the capacity to actually grow food. Yes, UC relies heavily on slavery. But the "greener" the UC cities get, the less slavery is present. Clownsteady for example has a single slavery building. Likely because it's in an area with fertile land where they can actual expand their economy and more people can get access to food. This is in contrast to The NorthEastern territories in which slaves outnumber people and most UC villages are slave camps (though these villages could be my mods though). How successful and stable would the Holy Nation be if it switched geography with the United Cities stronghold(the NorthEast)?

If we're simply talking about their tax day I'd say early: HN = Shek > Hounds > UC once you've got cashflow: Hounds = UC > HN = Shek but they're all about the same really at that point. HN is probably the worst of the 4 once you don't need to worry about money just cause you need to make sure you hide your Narko enthusiasts

What do you all think of Skeletons. Do you see them as equal to the other races, or are they nothing but "robots"/computers?

This may be controversial but if I "had" to pick a side, I'd pick the UC. Not because they are the "lesser" evil or anything of that notion, but because out of the three major factions, they seem to "tolerate" or have the least control of major cities belonging to independent factions on their land. With the exception of "World's End" pretty much every unique faction town is in UC territory or no man's land. And when using mods, this pretty much continues. Due to the UC's laziness and incompetence it allows alternative players to have a chance. In contrast, once the Holy Nation finds an alternative anything on their land. They try to wipe it out. A good example is The Shinobi Hideout. Despite being in the remote mountains, once the Holy Nation patrols find it it is under a near constant siege. The shinobi only hold off due to the gates being guarded by literally legendary ninjas with level 90 something attack power. And even then they really struggle due to the Holy Nation pouring in units like ants. Meanwhile any faction city in a UC territory is left completely untouched. Far more chance for a new better major player to arrive. Cup Runneth Over posted:Don't give up, Skeleton! I have two Ironsides in my party and it's awesome how overpowered they are (even if it feels a bit like cheating).

The holy nation have the most character so they're fun to interact with, and when they're lovely and evil it's cartoonish and over-the-top. The Holy Nation, as punishmen for a crime, take you to a labor camp and make you move rocks up and down a hill while a crusader walks along side you and yells at you for hours about how women are evil. poo poo like Prayer Day is funny. The UC on the other hand are just a BARELY exaggerated version of America and no one does anything cool or funny for me to latch onto. Similarly, I think you would see more people who like the Shek if they had a more unique way of speaking and had quirks other than "always want to fight." The Holy Nation is just the most stand-out of the major factions in this regard. People absolutely love all of the small quirky groups. Crab Raiders, the Humans who think they're robots, the robots who think they're humans, etc. If you could make Beep the leader of one of the factions, every single person would just do that, but you can't, so you have to settle with the funniest major factions which is the Holy nation.

Anyone trying to run messages or trade between something like Brink and Catun has, as their options, Venge (lasers and thralls), Reavers, Anti-Slaver territory, or the Black Desert. If I were to do my own world refresh mod I'd make the southern UC cities their own faction, some sort of pirate-freebooter type thing.

There's the Trader's Guild but that's a separate/connected faction. I think the UC is more centralized than that.

There are also corridors that are relatively safe for travel from the desert cities of the northeastern portion of the world to the southern towns. A couple of beak things or some Gorillo bandits can be pretty bad to an early game player, but a squad of UC samurai would easily put down anything you'd encounter in most segments of the map controlled by the UC.

If I got a solo fighter guy whose mostly fighting groups, what weapon would maximize defense? So far it seems like foreign sabers might be the best choice, but I've seen people also say heavy polearms for some reason.

it's likely due to the attack animations. Big, wide swings will hit more than one enemy at a time, and high damage hits will stagger enemies, so going heavy polearm will give you both of those + it does a lot of cutting damage so it'll level your dex as well as your strength which means faster swings and blocks Sabers will give you actual defensive stats but due to how attacks and blocking/dodging work you gotta think about the weapon's length and attack animations too

The range on them is surprisingly useless for keeping larger groups at bay, but you're still going to need to be significantly stronger than the groups you're fighting to stand a chance. I usually start dudes off with naginatas for the attack bonus and animal damage, then move onto polearms and heavy polearms once they have to fight people with heavy armor.
