Info: The Factions and The Players

I: The Big Four, and the Minor Factions

The server of 4XSMP was a modded smp multiplayer that was themed around civilizations rising and falling and was planned to have multiple "ages" where the end of the age signifies a server-wide boss fight. But due to some controversy and some personal issues, the server was suddenly closed.

Until it rebooted right back up, but it was more of a parting farewell to the world where many people made many memories within it. A server wide tour was announced, as many players looked around the past achievements and glories they made. From their first factory, to their strongest weapons ever built, and the storied told behind everything that they did.

Until the white wall of light came crashing upon all 136 of them.

1. The Brotherhood of Verod

The faction that owns the city and the main 'lead' faction. Having a WW1 theme in its roleplay part of the server. They have the most developed settlement in the server, since they are based in only one city, they went for the strategy of building tall instead of wide, by using trade and alliances against their rivals. Some smaller factions act as their vassal-states.

2. TradeCo Incorporated

Inspired by colonial trade companies, they base their theme around a merchant empire, though more innovative and peaceful. They work on machines and engineering, and is sole ally of the Brotherhood of Verod. Getting by together through trade networks and shops in other faction cities, specialized in production and building the railroad networks in the server. Verod gives some of their men to protect the trade routes, employing them like the swiss guards.

3. Rosa Nostra Mafia

Specialized in mining and stealth, almost destroying the brotherhood alliances through networks of secret tunnels and sabotage. They run the underground market of the server and mostly put their bases underground, with some select offices located in select locations on the surface. Having the rarest items and selling them between suspiciously free to downright unfair prices. Their theme is an obvious call-back to prohibition-era mafia gangs.

4. The Incursion Towns

They are a handful of separate factions, but they work so close-knit with one another that everyone considers them as one faction anyways. Mostly made out of new players and having the biggest pop-count out of all the factions. Taking away so much land with their swift expansion that it sparked three incursion wars that made the landscape a cratered hell-hole for a time.

5. Minor Factions

Most of them are either independent frontier settlements or inns along the railways and trade-routes, having a mini-alliance that isn't quite official but works quite well. Some are raider bases, stealing and lotting, but some are useful in some ways towards the big four, acting as proxies.
