SSE Civil War, A 3rd Faction

[CapnTytePantz]

What if you could thumb your nose at the bloody Jarl and the haughty Imperials? What if you could raise your own militia, rallying the people to a common cause against the ravaging influences of either side...or become your own warlord? This idea was inspired by the plight of Sinead and others like her, who have been disenfranchised by the power struggles, superstitions, and prejudices of lords, nobles, and other factions. Wouldn't it be incredible to carve out your own kingdom in the land of Skyrim through combat, subterfuge, and influence? Become a tyrant or a benevolent leader, but either way, you've had it with either side. It's time for the rise of a new power in Skyrim...yours! ;-)

 

This mod/addon would rely on the reputation system (people will join out of your influence...or out of fear). This would expand on multiple followers mods, as it would allow you to raise your own warband or militia. The more people you bring to your side, the more the scales tip in your favor. The more you can undermine the other factions, the more will join you or seek to overthrow your enemies...and theirs? This would also expand on interactions with followers, allowing you to send assassins, rogues, scouts/rangers, and infiltrators into your enemies' lands and affect the mood of their followers, inciting conflict, digging up dirt, or taking out key targets. You could also post your own quests and bounties for neutral adventurers to fight alongside you or insinuate themselves into the ranks of your enemy, only to turn on them, in the midst of battle. It would also need to offer a rich decision system, which would have significant impact on the world of Skyrim. I realize it is lore-breaking, but it sure sounds fun, no? ^_^
