Faction types

In Dygamic there are a few different faction types that you can choose from. These range from nations to pirates, and they will decide certain things like what your faction can do, how big you can build up your fleet, and how many bases you can build.

During the faction creation process, you need to specify which faction type your faction will be.

It is illegal to make new factions just to circumvent the structure and ship count limits, if you are found doing this the new faction will be deleted and a 1 week ban will be given to both the new faction and the original faction.

Every faction type needs at least 2 members to be formed, solo play is not allowed.

In order to switch faction type you must fulfill the following requirements:

1. You must not be at war.
2. You must not have more structures or ships than the faction type you're switching to is allowed to have.

When you've met these requirements, post a notice in the diplomacy channel announcing your switch. When this is done, you will switch faction types after 24 hours of the announcement being posted.

These rules are true for every faction type, unless a specific exception is made.

1. Factions need at least 5 members.
2. In order to attack PMC or pirate structures factions need to post a 24 hour notice to the discord in the diplomacy channel, this notice should ping the target faction.

Nations are the standard faction type for everyone. They can build the largest fleets and the most bases, but they are limited in the wars they can start.

Nations are the most limited out of all the factions, and thus have the largest set of rules they have to abide by.

1. If at any point a nation drops below 5 members, they will be demoted to city state. An admin will inspect their currently existing structures and fleets and they will keep what they currently have, but can only build new structures and ships up to the limit of a city state.
2. Nations need to declare war to attack other nations or city states.

City states are factions that are limited in scope, but can add a lot of flavor to the world they reside in.

City states are similar to factions, but they have a few additional rules since they are meant to be small players.

1. City states can have less than 5 members.
2. City states cannot claim land that is not connected to their main base, or directly adjacent in the case of islands.

PMC's are a faction type that focuses on gaining capital through conflict. They are hired by factions to do a job, and they are then paid for it in whatever currency or material of the PMC's choosing.

1. PMC's can have less than 5 members.
2. PMC's can attack any structure if they are hired.
   1. In order to attack structures, they need to post a 24 hour notice to the discord in the diplomacy channel, this notice should ping the target faction.
3. PMC's cannot claim land that is not connected to their main base, or directly adjacent in the case of islands.

Pirates are the menace of the sea, being able to freely attack any ship on the open ocean and any plane in the sky. In return however, they are the most limited faction in terms of fleet size and structure count.

1. Pirates can have less than 5 members.
2. Pirates can attack any structure.
   1. In order to attack structures, they need to post a 24 hour notice to the discord in the diplomacy channel, this notice should ping the target faction.
3. Pirates cannot claim land that is not connected to their main base, or directly adjacent in the case of islands.
