You caught me in a coma
Hello. This is my first suggestion on the site, I may have more but really, there's a good balance here, so I probably won't have any for a while.
The suggestion is Coups.
Real Examples: Historically, there have been many coups. Most notably, Napoleon's rise to power, and Fidel Castro's coup. A notable failed Coup: The Bay of Pigs invasion.
Goal of the Suggestion: An Alternative to Invading an enemy capital, as well as a new way for Minor Factions to strike a Major faction apart from Rebellions.
The Idea:
*Only Minor Factions may do Coups, and the target must be a Major capital hex/planet.
*The layout of a Coup is similar to a Rebellion, but requires more effort. Similar to how an Invasion is harder than a Dominion. It'll require more members than a rebellion, and more posts than a rebellion. This is to simulate how much more support and effort a coup takes compared to a rebellion.
*Like invasions, it must be discussed OOC before it begins. Cannot be during the holiday break (December 7-January 7)
*If successful, the Minor faction may take 7 hexes and go major, OR pick 5 hexes to become neutral. If it fails, the minor faction must wait 90 days before another attempted coup, and 30 before a rebellion to simulate the faction recovering from the failure.
I'm sure there are some holes that'll need to be patched before this can truly be considered, so please, tell me what you think
