(( Not me, I made a minor character. But in terms of man power they did say they have a lot of support as well. So probably not that much difference.

I don't wanna run a faction I just wanna have my own little piece of a military to play with. ))

[Rolepgeek]

Yeah...no. We have scientists on our side, constantly inventing. It's gonna end up being a Skill + Tech vs. Numbers + Zeal thing isn't it? Because I have no doubt you guys are more zealous than us. But the tech gap will only increase as time goes on...

We have manpower, but not as much as them. We do have a lot of vehicles, and high tech ones as well, though. Wanna discuss the differences in our factions in a PM and then tell Ebbor, Jbg?

I think that I have a slightly smaller amount of scientists, but they are mostly militarily foucused (generally stopping at "this thing fires killy bity and doesn't explode, WEAPONS COVERED.") while yours are more focused on maximizing your efficiency. If you're gonna reply, let's carry this on in a PM.

Wheelin' and dealin' bitches. I am here to less up your days and hit and run. And since we are so far out I am hoping to be the first to make contact. I will make an alliance if it is something I can agree to. Let's make a deal.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

HM, we should except a civil war or two. 

On other hand, as long as Vitality will remain loyal to the crown, I don't envy rebels... Battlestars filled with fanatics aren't something that you can joke with.

We have 2 major centers of power: Sol and Vitality... Considering that Terra is an importer of food, you may expect that many people want to revert to the older ways....
It's one thing to not eat plants\meat when you live in space and another when you live on planet with freely available food under your feet.

Terra independence movement would be fun to play, maybe I'll take that... but we have too many rebels and that's boring and kills the whole - develop the empire together part of the game

[Rolepgeek]

Something for Ebbor:

Army Size:
Subpar: 80 million
Standard: 58 million
Veteran: 4 million
Hardened: 4 million
Elite: 8 million
Total: 154 million troops, unknown vehicles

Navy:
4 Fighter Wings
3 Interceptor Corvettes
2 Battlecruisers
80 Transport Corvettes
Total: 85 ships, 4 fighter wings.

A few questions. With the various factions now present, do we get a part of the existing military and economy, or will what we have add to it? And can we invent new things, like bomber wings and ground vehicles, ship types, etc. present, or do we have to invent them in game anew?

My faction isn't rebels. We're part of the empire...

Spoiler: major character (click to show/hide)

Regular Name:  Mark Chen Ho
Noble name: Alizam
Major Titles: Duke of Mars, Count of Unicorn*(battlecruiser), Count of The Asteroid Belt.
Liege: The king
Major Vassals: Count of Jupiter's orbit, Count of Saturn's Orbit, Count of Uranus' orbit, Count of Neptune's orbit, Baron of Wasp(interceptor corvette), Baron of  Tiger (interceptor corvette)
Wife: none

* I am assuming that it's a part of the king's fleet.

Description: Young man that recently inherited the title as the eldest son. Tall and muscular. Asian. 20 Years old. Almost always in his military uniform.

Biography:
As the oldest child of previous duke got a proper military education. Considered to be a very competent commander. Rumors say that he supports the fungal heresy*, but no one have proved that. Quite popular among population due to liberal policies and military fame. His father was the best friend of the king and died saving his ruler from an assassin

*fungal heresy (belief that bacteria, algae and fungus have no soul and thus can be raised for food if methods used don't mess with ecology)

Brief history of Mars:
Mars was the second colony of humanity (after Luna) and developed quite rapidly. Was partially terraformed. Unfortunately, it was heavily bombarded during the war of Martian independence and became almost lifeless with few million citizens left.  After the rise of the new religion Mars was slowly recolonized but future terraforming was banned by new beliefs, so only few primitive lifeforms exist. There are many  cities and while mining considered not very pious profession it is allowed* at planets that was inhabited before the new Age as long as it doesn't change planet too much.

*Fundamentalists demand to ban  mining operations on Mars, Luna,  Terra , but moderate clergy understand that economy of the empire can't survive without those resources. It's one of the necessary compromises

-Economical power: Duke controls a big part of empire mining capabilities
     -Military power: He controls a large chunk of the king's fleet. Martian militia is under his direct command
     -Popularity: He is considered an OK ruler and a good commander, have friendly relations with most nobles including the king, but  disliked by the clergy, as all other nobles that have planetary possessions and suspected heretic 

Made my character slightly stronger. To make sure he is major

Reserved for a minor character, will go up in 24 hours.

So, if we are adding troops with our factions, me and Jbg, at least, have to come a proportions decision between our factions; I'm not sure if you'd be okay or what with the numbers. Make them smaller or larger as you like, after all; your game. Forgive me if I don't remember correctly or make some changes Jbg; I don't have the PM anymore, which is dumb. I do think some changes are needed, though, considering how much armored support a military today has...imagine how much it would in the future. I made similar changes to yours too, so you're still good. If you don't like it, I can always change it, and so can Ebbor.

I also did a lot of inventing and on the fly infantry and vehicle types...

I really doubt that any faction should have fleet larger then the one controlled by the King............

Also, remember, that society is feudalistic, you need to be noblemen\highly ranked priest to have any right for your own navy.
Your order seem like heretic commoners. How did they get all those ships?

And finally: I suspect that we can't add IC, resources, food, techs,  armies and ships.  Else it would mean - more players signed = stronger empire.

I think it'd be nice, rather than having to find a way to split a meager 158 million soldiers.

We're military commanders backed by industries and scientists. Our leader is an admiral. I call the position...what was it again...High Priest of Naval Arms or something like that. Probably has a place on the Theocratic Council(ONE place on a thing of 24 people.)

Plus, they're loyal, and the factions(once there are factions, instead of rebels, then me) will likely be too busy bickering amongst themselves to pay attention to the king and work together...that's how fuedalism works. In times of need, the king pulls on his big boy britches and calls the nobles up, telling them it's time to fight. In return, nobles get king's protection from the giant army that gets collected(meaning giant army protects them), they get a share of the loot justfully earned spoils of war, and a plot of land they don't always have to fight for. The nobles often have a larger army than whatever the king's personal retinue. It's the part where they hate each other, and so even if a group gets together, all that groups' enemies will side with the king. Bye bye, group.

We can reduce it by a factor of ten, after all. Remove or add. It's preliminary. As for the abbreviations, I will get to that momentarily.(I know you didn't say it but you were thinking it.)

[Rolepgeek]

And this makes a triple post. Oh well.
LI= Light Infantry; the typical idea of the 'take cover'  low armor and power, but agile and such.
HI=Heavy Infantry; rapid-fire railguns, anti-vehicle lasers, and traps, these are the defenders of fortresses and the slow, but powerful once set up troops.
SP= Support; Carrying ammo, medical supplies, or wounded soldiers, support give everyone else fighting the ability to keep fighting.
CE= Combat Engineers; Once you've taken the base, call in the engineers to fortify it, or blow enemy fortifications to all hell.
RC= Recon; Scouts, plain and simple.
ST= Shock Troops; These are the fast and hard-hitting troops, but they lack in sustained fights. They can blow holes in enemy lines though, and get behind or through formations.
PA= Power Armor; Lightning Bruisers, they can get in a lot of places fast, sometimes using jet packs, and deal a lot of damage. It's hard to hurt them without specialized weapons, a lucky shot, or very well aimed fire. If the suits go down, they do too though.
HA= Heavy Armor; Slow, but bring heavy weapons and heavy armor. Effectively super-armored Power Armor, and a lot less agile.
SF= Special Forces. What else need be said?

TK= Tanks and the like.
AR=Artillery; the long distance artillery strike type? That you never see but always seems to blow up everything around you without actually hitting?
GT= Ground Transports. Not all that useful, but not vulnerable to AA missiles either...
RV= Recon Vehicle. Fast scouts.
HT= Heavy Transport. They get the big guns out to the field, the heavy equipment.
DT= Drone transport. Of course we use drones. At least robots to do menial labor.
WK=Walkers. Vary in size and function, but tend to be powerful and tough, if slow. But they make up for it in agility.

FJ= Fighter Jets
FB=Fighter Bombers
HB= Heavy Bombers
SJ=Scout Jets
GS=Gunships; really big, really tough, really powerful.
CJ=Carrier Jets. They can transport huge amounts of just about anything across planets.

PB= Patrol Boats
DT=Destroyers
SB=Submarines
FG= Frigates
CR=Carriers
BS=Battleships
FF=Floating Fortresses. Exactly what they sound like.

God I'm tired...if any of this is stupid I apologize.

I got my stuff through theft, looting, donations by people in my faction, and rarely by buying them. Also, my entire faction hates what the empire has become, why would we listen to the king? "Sorry guys, i know you wanted to lead a massive uprising; but you're just not a nobleman or priest. Sorry."
"That's ok king, maybe later though."

[10ebbor10]

Just a general note. You're not going to start with more soldiers/fleets than the entire army.  Technically, you're part of it*. Stats aren't finished yet, so I can probably buff up military power quite a bit.
Also, I'm not going to keep track of 28 different types of soldiers/boats/vehicles. That won't even work for the combat system.

And yeah, the King's armies are his personnal armies. Not all those he has the right to call upon. Also, don't forget that the Vitality is indeed a fully functionall battleship.

*Except for the pirates, who start rebellious.

PN: Another note: The 40% economical/military/popular support that the King doesn't have are divided over the remaining factions.
