It's an overly simplistic analogy, but if we were to match the three factions to present-day political ideologies, the TEC would be the capitalists, the Advent the communists, and the Vasari the fascists.
@H3TCykaCT0 It is rather uncommon, isn't it? Well, I was under the impression that you were saying that oversimplification does not equal being wrong. If I was mistaken about that, well, that's okay too.
@Nomis095 Humm... Well, I'd never except that two people would answer at my first message (and sorry for my bad english).
I like the description of GriffinPilgrim about the TEC and Advent, but the Vasari's description of Nomis095 is interesting : an old civilization, with a gold age... But it seems that the gold age is vanished.
But an another point : why do you say "philosophies" and not "religion" ? Do you think there's a link ?
@mpropre767 legalism is not a religion, its a phiolosophie stateing that all people are evil and must be kept under a harsh and oppressive leader, there are no deities that they worship
@Nagneto Eeeehm no. The nazis didnt enslave everything they came across. The wanted to create a unified world beliving that the highest german blood is the best to rule, and the lowest bloods must be cleansed from their world. The only similarity to the vasari is conquest, but that can resemble any nation from France to Rome, Persia , Huns, Monguls etc. Its like the roman empire if the city of Rome is lost before the colonies, and a lonely centurio tries to prepare to face whatever defeated Rome
2:30 man...... that part is epic......... the music makes this game incredible if it wasnt for compelling music the lenght would really get to you.. btw got Entrenchment the other day. how is diplomacy? would you recommend it?
@burnout800 That voice clip is awsome "victory is at hand for the unity!" it's like propoganda whereas the sound for the TEC and Vasari are just little buzzing noises.
The funny thing is that no one seems to realize that the Advent are just as bad as the other races. Heck, they might be WORSE. The TEC just exiled them instead of killing them.
And now the Advent are back, demanding either mass conversions or mass genocide. Nice guys, those Advent...
@EchoEnder What I'm wondering is why the TEC's ancestors did that. The Advent wasn't even involved and they just decided to exile them, which is on any level a bad move. Exiling someone you have no relations with whatsoever, aside from them being close to you physically. I'm also wondering who you guys think the bad guys are; the ones who are doing bad things or the ones who created them out of ignorance?
@Iwillaimaturhead i think those who created them by ignorance,and,the story of the Vasari empire is also not realy in a bright light,just check it out,all the stories of all empires are full of fear and sins,thats why the game is called sins of a solar empire,no empire is holy and clean,not even the advent.
i think the question is why are the advent going on a quest for revenge a thousand years after they were exiled, everyone in the tec who was responsible for it is long dead, most probably dont even remember it anymore.
@zzxcvb98 The trader worlds support individuality as a capitalist culture, focusing on the ambition of its people. The advent's ancestors on the other hand used their technology to psionicly connect all its members to each other to pursue knowledge, thus the ambition of 1 individual is no longer a question. However their banishment left an incurable scar on the advent's collective mind. Vengance must be taken. BTW in the intro it says they remember the advent from stories meant to scare children
who shall suffer?

TEC : capitalism and veiled dictatorship.
Advent : a new philosophy where the mind is at the center and all are at the center by the spirit. The next step of human's evolution ?
Vasari : the power of a religion without name and without light.
mpropre767 1 year ago 2
@mpropre767 I'd say more:
TEC: Militaristic democracy/capitalism with severe problems with bigotry.
Advent: Transhumanists who were probably fairly inoffensive, but exile has made them obsessed with revenge.
Vasari: Dictatorship and imperialism of course fueled by fear of...whatever the hell is chasing them.

@mpropre767
TEC: democracy/capitalism with hidden traces of dictatorship
Advent: some form of realigious zealotry bent on revenge
Vasari: roman style imperialism with many legalist philosophies

I couldn't help but think this is what happens if Warhammer 40,000's Tau and Eldar got together.
All the gracefulness of the Eldar with the expansionist mindset of the Tau. Greater Good vs Unity isn't so far apart.
