What faction is the "good guy" in glest?
« on: 21 February 2012, 10:53:27 »
Tech or Magic? This is my first though of this game.
Tech:
Good force that relying on machine but still have faith.
Mage:
A group of evil mage determined to take over the kingdom!

Glest does not really have GOOD and BAD.
GOOD is always what you're playing and BAD what you aren't.
But you could easily create mods that are GOOD or BAD.
For example the "dark-magic" is kind of BAD .

Glest back story:
https://docs.megaglest.org/Story

Seems like Tech were persecuting various magic users out of fear of their growing powers and Magic (as a army) banded together for revenge for tech oppression.
Neither is good or evil, so its up to you who you feel more empathy for

Why would there be good guys and bad guys?  World War 2 was pretty easy to judge because the leaders on all sides were practically cartoons, but in most wars, the "bad guys" are whoever has the flag that doesn't look like yours.  I could say a lot more and take this thread in a direction far away from Glest, and probably say some inflammatory things about some of the boondoggles the militaries of the world are currently in, but instead I'll leave you with a quote and recuse before I start something bad. :O

Quote
A man's called a traitor - or liberator
A rich man's a thief - or philanthropist
Is one a crusader - or ruthless invader?
It's all in which label
Is able to persist
There are precious few at ease
With moral ambiguities
So we act as though they don't exist
-- "Wonderful", from the musical Wicked

tl;dr: Nobody.
