Faction Calculus	comment	In Strategy Games — whether turn-based, real-time, or 4X — or tabletop wargames, when there are different factions, these will (usually) have different advantages, disadvantages, and play styles to entertain the player. With a low amount of factions, there are clear, fundamental differences, but as the number of factions grows, the differences subside, until eventually the sides are not polar opposites as much as points on a gradient line between two extremes.

Faction Calculus / int_169f043b	comment	StarCraft: Protoss (Powerhouse) focus upon durable units with fewer numbers, combined with spell caster assistance, but also have a stealth attack with Dark Templar assassins, and Zerg (Subversive/Horde) rely upon a properly balanced mix of great numbers, with one main spellcaster later in the game; the Zerg overlords are both a troop transport and supply cap increase, allowing very liberal use of sneak attacks. Terrans (Balanced) stand in the middle, with Glass Cannon units who all use ranged attacks, and perform sneak attacks with Vulture bikes who can set up minefields and kill worker units very quickly, along with imposing Siege Tank lines that can eradicate entire armies in a few salvos, as well as swarms of Marines that rip enemies apart in a stim- and bullet-filled frenzy

Faction Calculus / int_19350db9	comment	Master of Orion has ten races that actually play fairly differently. Each has a special racial bonus (and a few have handicaps to go along with that if their bonus is too powerful - most races can only colonize half the planets in the galaxy until they've researched the proper tech, but Silicoids can colonize them all right away. But their population grows HALF as fast as everyone else's!). They also have certain tech fields that they are better or worse at, and tendencies toward good or bad relations with certain other races. This results in quite a bit of difference in how each race plays, plus a rather extreme case of unbalance. The Psilons are excellent at all research AND are liked by most other races, making them one of the clearly best races, while the Klackons have an equally overpowered ability (bonuses to industrial production) but are widely disliked (they're still one of the top races though). Mrrshans and Alkaris have awful abilities (small combat bonuses) and are generally disliked, making them the hardest to play, while the Darloks (bonuses to all spying activities) are hated by all, but can often become the leaders in technology by stealing everyone else's tech, and can keep themselves alive by inciting wars between other empires.

Made more complex in 2.0, as each faction has 3 Generals that further diversify the game by either being Powerhouse, Subversive or exaggerating their faction's strengths ("Exaggerator"), respectively. This results in combinations such as Balanced-Powerhouse (USA General Bradley), Powerhouse-Powerhouse (Russian General Zhukov), similar but different Powerhouse-Exaggerator (Russian General Aleksandr), Subversive-Powerhouse (GLA General Sulaymaan), Horde-Subversive (Chinese General Jin), and so on for a total of 15 combinations.

Faction Calculus / int_3277eea2	comment	The Battle for Middle-earth: Dwarves and Isengard fit Powerhouse, with mighty shock troops and hefty upgrades that take time. Goblins fit Subversive, focusing on fast-moving cheap infantry and enhanced maneuverability. Elves fit Cannon, due to their archery focus and powerful ranged upgrades. Men of the West and Angmar both generally end up as Balanced, with versatile troop layouts (though they go about it in very different ways; Men are very tactically basic and easy to learn while Angmar is all about wacky specialized units to deal with anything). Finally, Mordor's cheap orc armies, needless to say, fit them into the Horde. The Edain Mod breaks up a few factions and retools others, resulting in some shifts. While Gondor and Angmar remain Balanced, Mordor remains Horde, and Isengard remains Powerhouse, Rohan is a mix of Horde (its infantry) and Powerhouse (its cavalry). The Iron Hills Dwarves remain Powerhouse with a focus on defense, while Erebor takes on aspects of Cannon and Ered Luin takes on bits of Subversive. Lastly, Lothlorien is a mix of Cannon and Subversive, while Imladris is a pure Powerhouse.

However, AI enemies in the mainline campaign were coded different playing strategies. Although they had theoretically the same selection of building and troops available, they focused on producing only units that would suit their strategy. Subverted in Stronghold Crusader (2002), where the Crusader faction (the player faction from the first installment) acts as Powerhouse and the Saracene faction act as Subversive. However, later stages of the game usually allow the player to recruit the troops from the other faction as mercenaries.

Faction Calculus / int_5a0d652b	comment	Warcraft III: Human Alliance, Orcish Horde, Undead Scourge, Night Elf Sentinels are Balanced, Powerhouse, Subversive, and Cannon respectively for the most part. Human infantry units are decently strong and decently cheap. Their spellcasters have versatile skillsets, with Sorceresses debuffing enemies and Priests to heal and buff allies. Orc units are powerful but more expensive. What support abilities they have is mainly focused on buffing their already great damage output. Undead relies on sheer numbers, primarily through their Necromancer's ability to create skeletal minions from corpses. Night Elves lack the brute strength of other factions, but they excel in ranged combat and their units can become invisible at night. However, things are a bit different when air units are involved, Orcs and Undeads being basically swapped: Undeads are air Powerhouse with frost wyrms being a huge, costly, and powerful late-game unit, Orcs are air Subversive with wyverns being a cheaper middle game unit that you want to mass and use for hit-and-run tactics, and bat riders being a subversive unit. Humans are still Balanced (Griffins are a powerhouse-like unit, flying machines and Dragonhawk riders are subversive-like units), Night Elves are still the Cannons (chimeras are very powerful and destructive, but can't attack air units and are easy to kill relative to their cost, and hippogryphs are extremely powerful air superiority units, but cannot attack ground units unless you mount an archer on them, leaving them helpless against ground units who can attack air units).

Faction Calculus / int_5a0daa35	comment	Warmachine and Hordes are two halves of a game: Warmachine has six factions while Hordes has four (with another planned in 2017). Has even more if you count the subgroups in the mercenaries (5) and Minions (2) factions. If you look only at the original four Warmachine factions, they mostly follow the standard for 4 Factions: Cygnar (Cannons), Khador (Powerhouse), Cryx (Subversive), Protectorate (Balanced). Specific models and units within each faction will break the standard, but overall they fit fairly well. With the addition of Retribution of Scyrah in Mk. II, the faction calculus changed a bit to follow the 5 Faction standard, with Cryx becoming The Horde and Retribution becoming the new Subversive. The faction calculus on the Hordes side also follows the 4 Faction standard to some degree: Legion (Cannons), Skorne (Powerhouse), Circle (Subversive), Trollbloods (Balanced). It's interesting to note that both Powerhouse factions (Khador and Skorne) have a red color scheme and both Subversive factions (Cryx and Circle) have a green color scheme, both of which are common to other games. The Convergence of Cyriss, Warmachine faction #6, is definitely the Gimmick Faction, with hints of Technical and Pariah, using Vectors (more technologically advanced warjack equivalents without an ai) that rely on their Warcasters' accuracy stat instead of their own, are unusually focus-efficient, and cannot use Mercenaries under any circumstances.

Purity is stronger when immobile and on the defensive, as well as in general slugging matches, Supremacy is highly mobile, works best when all their units are in groups with each other and more offensively oriented, while Harmony favours using the terrain, and natural fauna to their advantage, but lose strength when in clustered battles.

Faction Calculus / int_5d1b7e1f	comment	The four military doctrines in Hearts of Iron IV represent these, and (barring glitches), each nation can choose only one doctrine, and each offers two branching paths for further specialization. The "Mobile Warfare" doctrine is a Cannons, focusing on super powering armored and mechanized units, while giving infantry units more organization and breakthrough so they can attack for longer. You can choose whether you want to spec for tanks or motorized/mechanized infantry. The second branch allows the you either to continue developing blitzkrieg doctrine, or increase your manpower pool in case you're losing a late-game war like the real-life Volkssturm militia. Germany always starts with this doctrine. The "Superior Firepower" doctrine is a combination of Powerhouse and Balanced: it gives attack and defense bonuses to basically all units, and its split allows you to either focus on further improving your ground units, or giving more synergy with Close Air Support. The United States starts with this doctrine. The "Grand Battleplan" doctrine is Balanced and Subversive, giving units better defense while entrenched and better attack while executing a battle plan. While units have better defense and attack stats when they have these bonuses than with any other doctrine, they require time to prepare, and is dangerous if the enemy manages to mess up your entrenchments or foils your plans. The first branch is maximizing Powerhouse by providing by providing further breakthrough, planning and organization like the generalist doctrines of Britain, France and Italy while second branch switches to Subversive by improving night attack, infantry stats and reducing supply consumption like the semi-guerilla war waged by Japan in the Pacific. The United Kingdom, France, Italy, and Japan all start with this doctrine. The "Mass Assault" doctrine sides with either Subversive or the Horde, with the first branch decreasing the combat width of your infantry (allowing more men to participate in a single battle) and giving auxiliary bonuses to your mechanized troops like real-life deep battle doctrine and end-of-war Red Army, while the second branch increases your recruitable population, allowing you to field many more divisions like the initial desperate attacks against the Nazis until the front stabilized or Chinese fighting against the Japanese invasion with inferior equipment but greater manpower. The Soviet Union, Communist and Nationalist China, and all the Chinese warlords start with this doctrine. Notably the latter Horde line cuts out earlier than all other doctrines, indicating an expectation to switch when the enemy is exhausted. Naval Doctrine has Fleet in Being (Powerhouse focused on buffing Battleships and Heavy Cruisers), Trade Interdiction (Subversive focused on buffing submarines and sinking enemy convoys) and Base Strike (technically supposed to be Cannons focused on buffing Carriers but really ends up as Balanced if the nation has sufficient industrial weight to put on both ships and aircraft, sinking enemy warships and convoys left and right). Air Doctrine has Strategic Destruction (Powerhouse focused on winning air dominance by shooting down enemies and bombing enemy factories and air bases), Battlefield Support (Subversive focused on maximizing air support benefit to help ground forces overrun enemy air bases rather than contest enemy industrial weight) and Operational Integrity (Balanced focusing on Tactical Bombers who can do both air support and strategic bombing).

Faction Calculus / int_6b543609	comment	Age of Empires IV plays around with this: The English are the game's go-to Balanced civilization. They have a big focus on a defensive playstyle and strong early game - they uniquely get armoured swordsmen from the Dark Age (the first tier of the game), their unique Longbowman is an enhanced archer with superior range and the ability to deploy palings, villagers armed with shortbows, and buffs to ranged attack speed for any archer units standing by their towns and defensive structures. All this combined give the English many tools for hard-countering early game Zerg Rush. The Holy Roman Empire are an infantry-focused Powerhouse faction. Their special unit, the Landsknecht, is armed with a massive zweihander and deals splash damage, cutting down ranks of enemies in no time at all; if that wasn't enough their heavy infantry are generally better armoured and faster on the move. By collecting Relics and garrisoning them inside your structures, you can boost your sight range, weapon range, armour and damage to all your units around the structure. The French meanwhile are a cavalry-focused Powerhouse. With faster villager and scout production that improves by aging up, superior Royal Knights available from the Feudal Age and up, and the ability to churn them out quite quickly. By the Imperial Age however, gunpowder units and high tech artillery come into play and the French transition into a rather literal take on a Cannon faction. The Mongols are clear Subversive, almost the polar opposite of the English because they are made for early game Zerg Rush and aggressive play. They are the only civilization in the game who can pack up and move their towns, allowing them to be almost as mobile as their fast, cavalry-focused armies. They start with maximum population limit and have no need to build houses, but they also do not build farms or defensive structures at all; they build Pastures which sporadically produce sheep, and they use Ovoo to passively accumulate stone which is used to buy upgrades for units. The Dehli Sultanate start as Subversive with the potential to change into a Powerhouse later. In the early game they're nothing special, an issue compounded by the fact that while all their technology development is technically free, research times are vastly inflated and the penalty has to be remedied by garrisoning Scholars (their unique Monks) into their Mosques. Their unit specialty is towards War Elephants, terrifyingly strong heavy cavalry with high HP and bonus damage to structures.

Faction Calculus / int_6c1d09b4	comment	Though not a strategy game, the four major players in Fallout 4 fit this dynamic. The Commonwealth Minutemen would be Balanced: Minutemen fighters usually feature a mishmash of different weapons and armour and are moderately powerful. The Brotherhood of Steel are definitely Powerhouse, as their heavily-armoured Knights are few in number but also some of the strongest enemies you'll encounter, even being able to consistently beat Deathclaws one-on-one, and they're the only faction to have air power. The Institute is a shoo-in for Subversive, as while they don't produce Power Armour or other advanced weapons of war, they do produce large quantities of expendable Synths to do their fighting for them, and they also send the Synths to infiltrate the Commonwealth, working covertly to maintain their grip on the people. Finally, the Railroad would be the Cannons; Railroad Heavies are often equipped with Gauss Rifles and Railway Rifles which can punch through a Brotherhood Knight's armour with ease but aren't very well-armoured themselves, and they're few in number and don't really have the staying power to openly contend with the other factions.

Faction Calculus / int_6eece11b	comment	Battlefleet Gothic: Armada: Imperial Navy (Balanced) vs. Fleets of Chaos (Subversive) vs. Ork Freebooterz (Powerhouse) vs. Eldar Corsairs (Cannons). The Imperial Navy fields ships with impressive macro-cannon batteries and considerable durability due to good armour and shielding. They're also equipped with heavy prows for ramming and prow-facing torpedo launchers. The Imperial's secret weapon, the Nova cannon, is a heavy long-range cannon which fires a massive shell which explodes destroying any ship for kilometres around the blast. While good at close to mid-range engagements, the Imperial Navy struggle at longer ranges due to heavy reliance on macro weapons, a lack of carrier vessels until the late-game (and even then carriers are expensive) and moderate to mediocre speed. Generally, the Imperials succeed when they do whatever the faction they're facing is bad at. The Fleets of Chaos field a number of older ships which the Imperial Navy have long since decommissioned. They tend to prefer mid-to-long range engagements with large numbers of lance weapons and plenty of carrier ships - every class has a carrier ship and outfitting them is very cheap too. On the other hand, their macro batteries are nothing to write home about, their ramming potential is limited, their torpedoes are nonexistent, and high speed is what protects them instead of thick armour. The Ork Freebooterz field a number of ships with extremely heavy frontal prows, giving them excellent protection from frontal attack and letting them bull apart enemy ships with ease, and they are the best at boarding actions too. Ork ships are also rather versatile as instead of choosing from specific ships with a class, each class provides a basic "krooza" which comes with a number of options which the player can freely choose. However, this raw power comes at a significant cost: their accuracy at any range other than "very close" is abysmal, their ships are highly vulnerable in the rear due to loads of engines and thin armour, and due to their anarchic natures the Ork "kaptins" are more likely to disobey the admiral and abandon battle than those of other races. The Eldar Corsairs specialise in lightning-fast, hit-n-run tactics with the most manoeuvrable ships of any faction, but this comes at considerable cost to their durability: Eldar ships have very thin armour, and their holofields (shields) only work when the ship is moving at speed. While even Chaos can perform somewhat decent ramming maneuvers in a pinch, ramming with Eldar ships is simple suicide. Eldar ships have solar sails and hence need to "tack", and most of their weapons are front-facing meaning that an Eldar admiral has to pay close attention to positioning and micromanagement. However, Eldar ships have a lot of lance-based firepower and their captains have better morale, making them less like to flee battles.

Faction Calculus / int_6efd4fd4	comment	Duel Masters, itself based on Magic: The Gathering, has 5 Civilizations, although not balanced identically due to its significantly different mechanics: Fire Civilization is the Offensive Powerhouse, with Power Attackers and Speed Attackers; Light Civilization is the Defensive Powerhouse, with a huge number of Blockers and defensive spells which, for instance, add Shields or tap enemy creatures; Nature Civilization being the cross between the Powerhouse and the Horde, using Mana-buffing to bring out Power Attackers, or just Zerg their way to victory; Water Civilization, the closest to being Balanced, focuses on Hand-buffing similar to Nature's Mana-buffing, and replaces Powerhouse creatures with powerful Blockers and enemy creature control; Darkness Civilization has Powerhouses in the form of Slayers (which can kill any enemy they battle with, making them the best suicide units), Glass Cannons which die after battle, Blockers (to a lesser extent than Light and Water), discarding enemy Hand cards, revival of dead creatures, and making sacrifices for certain abilities. Because it is hard to counter every situation with a single Civilization, most decks includes 2 to 3 civilizations, either to cover for each other's weaknesses, or to increase the potency of a strategy: Nature's Mana-buffing is very helpful for bringing out powerful units of other races, making it a compatible with all Civilizations, whether playing stamina with Water or Light, or aiming for a beatdown with Fire or Darkness. Light and Water can be combined to form a formidable defense, using a large amount of powerful Blockers and defensive abilities. Fire and Water/Light make an excellent combination of offense and defense.

Faction Calculus / int_747a18bc	comment	Battle for Wesnoth has six factions in the Default era: Rebels (elves), Knalgan Alliance (dwarves and outlaws), Loyalists (humans), Northerners (orcs), Undead, and Drakes (dragonmen and lizardmen). The balance of powers oscillates with the day cycle. But in general Knalgan Alliance acts mostly as a powerhouse, Rebels as subversive, Undead and Drakes as cannons, Northerners as horde, and Loyalists as balanced.

Faction Calculus / int_8b55fd36	comment	Command & Conquer: Red Alert Series: Throughout the series, the general rule is that the Soviet Union is a Powerhouse while the Allied Nations are Subversive, although this dynamic is reversed in the seas, where the Allied surface fleet is more powerful than the Soviets and their reliance on submarines. The disparity is far more glaring in the first game to the point it's almost game-breaking in multiplayer, while the second game makes it far more even while maintaining what makes each faction distinct. Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge adds Yuri, whose forces are typically weaker than either, but have a variety of incredibly cheap tricks such as mind control. Meanwhile, the Allies gain two powerful new brute force units in the Battle Fortress and Guardian GI that allow them to function as a more balanced faction in the middle of Yuri's treachery and the Soviet's brutality. So it is Soviets (Powerhouse), Allies (Balanced), Yuri (Subversive). In Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3, it's somewhat complicated here. The Empire Of The Rising Sun has the weakest units, making them the Subversive faction. The Allies are Balanced, with a strong, straightforward army and powerful force multipliers. Soviets are Powerhouse, as usual. However, this is only for ground-based combat. In the air, the Allies are Powerhouse, the Soviets are Balanced, and the Empire is Subversive, while on the water the Allies are the Subversive, the Soviets are Balanced, and the Empire is Powerhouse.

Faction Calculus / int_90e2f673	comment	BattleTech has aspects of this. There are about two dozen factions in total, but they're readily broken down by preferred tactics and the relative strengths/weaknesses of their preferences. Clan units are traditional Powerhouses. Their units are tough, fast, and well-armed, but absurdly expensive. If you field just a single Clan Timber Wolf, be prepared to have an Inner Sphere opponent field two Awesomes in response if you play using Point Buy, or as many as four Awesomes if you use a C-Bill based purchase system. The Clan player invests heavily in overwhelming power but at the price of fielding few units and often being locked into Honor Before Reason tactical decisions, such as mandatory single combat rather than focused fire. Even within the Clans, there are breakdowns based on preferred tactics. Clans such as Smoke Jaguar are Powerhouses. They field many heavy and assault units such as the Warhawk or Dire Wolf, making them aggressive and lethal, but also slow and hard to resupply. Smoke Jaguar units are devastating early on but exhaust themselves quickly, making them easy to outmaneuver. Clans with a more moderate view of tactics include Clan Wolf and Nova Cat as Balanced Clan forces. These Clans are more careful, and less likely to run themselves ragged. They will field a mix of units, including the forementioned Timber Wolf, but also feature well-rounded flexible units such as the Shadow Cat. Their endurance makes them last longer than their peers, but they are also somewhat predictable. Clan Jade Falcon is a textbook Cannon-type faction. Favoring fast, weapon-laden units, they buy this speed and firepower at the cost of armor, and as a result, the Jade Falcon unit tends to favor designs such as the Hellbringer or Summoner. Jade Falcons hit hard and fast, but are unable to absorb much in the way of counter-fire and often lose more units in battle as a result. Subversive Clan factions are fewer, due to the focus on honorable single combat, but Clan Ice Hellion is certainly this. Favoring small, fast units such as the Viper and Fire Moth, they move quickly and are more numerous for the same price than their other Clan peers. Unfortunately for them, while they can field the units, they usually fail to field a necessary amount of power and must rely on achieving a win condition that isn't a straight duel to the death. Inner Sphere factions are also quite diverse, and on a grand scale are more Subversive than the Clans. The Inner Sphere's main Powerhouse faction is House Steiner. Their focus on economy and very, very large 'Mechs, such as the Zeus and Atlas, means that they tend to be able to amass a relatively huge army if allowed to build up. However, this makes their units some of the slowest and most expensive to field (and to lose). Their tactics are usually very basic, and not for nothing are Lyran assaults often compared to sledgehammers, making them easy to outflank or outwit. House Liao is the textbook Subversive Inner Sphere faction. Favoring lighter, faster units as well as the use of sneaky stealth armor and electronic warfare equipment, House Liao will often lose a straight-up fight against most foes but can sneak objectives or critical kills out from under the noses of their enemies. House Liao has managed to streamline the production of iconic flexible lightweight designs such as the Raven and Vindicator to the point that they can afford to lose a few if victory can be achieved. Houses Marik and Kurita are Balanced, in slightly different ways. House Marik is notably a case of 'a little bit of everything' in their faction pool, with units of all weight classes and categories available. They are fast but not as fast as House Liao, tough without being as tough as House Steiner, best demonstrated by their use of the Hermes II and the Orion. House Kurita is somewhat similar, in that they are peculiarly focused on light units and heavy units almost exclusively. By largely omitting the middleweight category, they can field both extremely fast but fragile and relatively slow but powerful units, such as the Jenner and the Dragon respectively, averaging out to a tenuous Balance. House Davion is the Cannon faction for the Inner Sphere, in an unusually literal sense. Davion units favor ballistic weapons such as autocannons, and tend to be faster but fragile due to either a relatively low armor profile or using more vulnerable components. In exchange, Davion units often hit like trucks and can be a nightmare for foes who get outmaneuvered by them. The Enforcer and the Victor demonstrate this well, lacking armor in some areas but being powerful infighters. Comstar is a strange faction in that it is technically Balanced: somehow, it is both a Powerhouse (thanks to its use of powerful but rare and incredibly expensive Star League era units, which are almost on par with the Clans) while also being a Subversive faction (thanks to a focus on speed, adaptability, and numbers to win most of their battles). The end result is that Comstar units are very pricey to field in any system, but they can still field more units than their Clan counterparts. Their ability to call on pre-existing caches of materiel upsets the setting's balance somewhat.

The Soviet Union is the Powerhouse, being the most straightforward and direct faction with a preference towards heavy armour, weapons and assault tactics. The Epsilon Army is Subversive, with cheap but statistically weak units and preferring to spam infantry and rely on unconventional weapons. The Foehn Revolt is Balanced, with strong units that also come with many special abilities but pay for it in very high individual cost. Furthermore, each faction is divided into three sub-factions that also play this trope straight: Allies: The USA is Subversive, with fast but frail units and preference towards rapid deployment and surgical strikes with a strong air force. The Euro Alliance, emphasising heavy firepower and defence, is the Powerhouse. The Pacific Front is Balanced, with versatile, multifunctional units and a focus on long-range bombardment. Soviets: Russia is Balanced, with its versatile Tesla technology, mobile and moderately powerful units. The Latin Confederation is Subversive, with a preference for guerrilla warfare, urban combat and sabotage, being slightly weaker in direct fights. China is the Powerhouse to the max, whose signature tactic is steamrolling the enemy with a wall of slow-moving but strong war machines. Epsilon: PsiCorps is Balanced, whose main strength lies in mind control technology and amphibious assaults. HQ is slightly more of a Powerhouse, focusing on territorial control, defence, and strong infantry. Scorpion Cell is the most Subversive, favouring cheap, spammable and Weak, but Skilled units, and trolling the enemy with its arsenal of chemical weapons and ambush capability. Foehn: Haihead is Balanced, relying on getting close and personal to swiftly destroy enemy installations. The Wings of Coronia is Subversive, preferring mobility over raw strength, with various flying and hovering units. And with their focus on durable and powerful units, amazing defence and turtling, the Last Bastion is the Powerhouse.

Though for the most part, it is a sliding gradient scale, there are several races that have unique combat gimmicks which make them difficult to categorize - the undead, for example, can upgrade their units on the field, simultaneously fully healing them. The Swarm in WBC 3 can resource starve their opponents while hammering them with weak - but very cheap - troops. Daemons can use their units to summon whole new units onto the field for free, effectively replacing lost troops mid-battle or freely building up the ranks beforehand, but the base units are hideously expensive. And then there are the Plaguelords in WBC 3, who are just totally overpowered; with access to cheap hordes of units with powerful upgrades "and" powerful area of effect monsters, their only real weakness is a lack of effective ranged units.

SGB are the plodding, heavily-armoured Mighty Glacier to the EFEC's rapid, lightly-armoured Fragile Speedster, and the JSF are middle of the road with a focus on precision. There are also Batallion types enforced by the Arbitrary Headcount Limit. Armoured (Powerhouse) specialise in Tank Goodness and More Dakka, capable of fielding lots of tanks and artillery perfect for meatgrinder battles and cracking open fortified positions, but they are vulnerable to gunships and their own lack of gunships means they have few options for dealing with enemy artillery short of shooting back with their own; Armoured excels at open field battles but struggles in built-up areas. Airborne (Subversive) uses large numbers of gunships and riflemen to swarm an enemy with Death from Above while cloaked riflemen run around the enemy backlines harassing the uplinks. This gives them a lot of momentum but the lack of artillery and tanks means they lack the firepower to fight head-on or crack a fortified area, thus they tend to crack quickly outside of urban or wooded areas. Tactical (Cannons) are the artillery specialists, but they also have a lot of riflemen for spotting duties; this gives them incredible power at longer ranges but they also have just enough tanks and gunships to defend their precious field gun park: where they lack is mobility, as they have only a single transport unit, so when they need to reach out and go on the offensive, that artillery park becomes vulnerable without entrenched infantry around them. Assault (Balanced) is the Jack of All Trades Batallion choice with no clear weakness, while Mechanised (Balanced) offers many transport and engineer units that are highly mobile, difficult to dislodge once entrenched and quite impervious to enemy air attack - however their lack of gunships and artillery make them a Close-Range Combatant who have little option against enemy artillery besides running away.

In the Spiritual Successor Act of Aggression this is largely unchanged - we have the United States Army (who are still Powerhouse) though Chimera swaps roles with the Cartel (i.e: Chimera's versatility and upgrades make it the Balanced, while the Cartel's emphasis on Speed, Mobility and cutting edge technology make it Subversive).

Faction Calculus / int_e030b382	comment	PlanetSide: New Conglomerate(Powerhouse), Terran Republic (Balanced), and Vanu Sovereignty (Subversive) although this only matters for vehicles and a few unique weapons. The NC have the toughest, heaviest hitting vehicles, the TR's are faster, weaker, but make up for it with volume of fire, and the Vanu tend towards using their hover technology and the manoeuvrability granted by it, along with cheap, gimmicky weapons.

Faction Calculus / int_e0f1b3dc	comment	Age of Empires series have large numbers of playable factions, with more added in each expansion pack. Since the tech trees are shared, most variation comes in the form of each civilisation having exclusive bonuses or missing out on a few research items or unit upgrades. The second game adds one (in some cases two) unique technology and unit for each civilisation. Additionally, both games feature set statistical bonuses (military and economic) and minor gimmicks for each civ. The third game in the series takes earlier concepts further, increasing complexity by giving all European civilisations two or more (up to five) unique units, removing or replacing basic units for specific civs, providing each civ with a more powerful mainline upgrade for some basic units, and adding a variety of bonuses, gimmicks, etc. to each civ. Further, the game introduces the Home City feature, allowing for even more unique bonuses and technologies to be applied on the fly. The two expansions add three civilisations each, and all of these are entirely unique, sharing no units with any other civ (although there are some similarities). There are also variety of gameplay gimmicks implemented according to civ-grouping (for instance, the Fire Pit for all Native Americans, Wonders and Rice Paddies for all Asians) and individual civilisation (as the system in the base game ratcheted up). If there is a triangle for the European civs in the base game, it goes like this: Spain and Britain are the Balanced - Spain has a large and diverse unit roster and a card deck that can let them play rushdown, boom, or turtle strategies equally well, while Britain is primarily an economic and naval faction with the potential for a competent land force as well (though it's not a true powerhouse). Holland, Portugal, and Russia are the Subversives - Holland is an economic machine with a card deck suited for fielding lots of mercenaries, Portugal is a kind of fiddly faction with a focus on light and highly specialised units, and Russia's whole playstyle, from their card deck to their ability to raise troops in batches, is geared towards Zerg Rush. The French, Ottomans, and Germans are the Powerhouses - France is dominant in nearly all areas militarily and they have the best heavy cavalry in the game, the Ottomans are the game's artillery and siege specialists, and the Germans can field massive armies of cavalry festooned with upgrades from the card deck plus mercenary backup. In a way, with the third expansion, the game plays into the three-way version of this trope, with the Europeans being Balanced, the Natives being Subversive, and Asians being Powerhouses. Also, in same expansion, the Asian factions form the same triangle: Japan (Balanced), India (Powerhouse), and China (Subversive).

Faction Calculus / int_eaeeea9b	comment	StarCraft II: In the campaigns: A number of mutually exclusive Terran research upgrades have elements of this, with upgrade choices being split between the Science Vessel which can passively repair vehicles for free or the Raven which can deploy seeker missiles and turrets, Tech Reactors which can mass-produce higher-tier units or the Orbital Strike upgrade which allows the Barracks to deploy units anywhere on the map, and allowing vehicles to passively repair or increase the energy reserves of caster units. Zerg evolutions tend to split between straightforward combat upgrades or new abilities that emphasize micromanagement. These tend to be colored green and purple, respectively. The Protoss can choose between four factions to represent each of their army's units: the Khalai, the usual powerhouses, the Daelaam, the subversive Jedi-Ninjas with quicker-but-weaker attacks, the Purifiers, who have a balance of firepower and unique abilities and the Tal'darim, who personify Glass Cannon with their self-destructive philosophy of 'jailbreak it for DPS until it hurts'.

Faction Calculus / int_ec02633a	comment	The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt features a card game called Gwent, which divides its decks into four separate factions, including the Northern Realms (Balanced), the Nilfgaardian Empire (Powerhouse), the Scoia'tael (Cannon), and Monsters (Subversive). This is true considering that these four decks are all based after the actual factions themselves in both the video games as well as the books. The Nilfgaardian Empire (Powerhouse) consumed its southern neighbours and is threatening to consume the Northern Kingdoms. Meanwhile, the Northern Kingdoms (Balanced) spend most of their time waging war with each other than uniting against the larger Nilfgaardian Empire. The Scoia'tael (Cannons) are elven and dwarven guerrillas who wage war with the Northern Kingdoms and Nilfgaardian Empire's respective human populations. And, the Wild Hunt (Subversive, and what the Monster deck is based after) threatens to spread the white frost across both the Northern Kingdoms and Nilfgaardian Empire, while chasing down Ciri for her powerful magic. The standalone, free-to-play Gwent: The Witcher Card Game changes its opposing factions, including the Northern Kingdoms as the Powerhouse faction due to units increasing their point values based on how many of each are played; Nilfgaard as the Subversive faction due to its emphasis on spies and diplomats; the Scoia'tael as the Balanced faction due to its units freely switching between melee, ranged, and/or siege; Monsters being the Horde faction due to its emphasis on spawning mass numbers and consuming other monsters to increase point values; and Skellige as the Cannon faction due to units getting killed only to be resurrected by their priests.

Faction Calculus / int_f231435e	comment	Battle Brothers: Northern Houses: Balanced. Whether you face brigands or professional noble troops, the army arrayed against you operates much the same way as you - rows of men with hand weapons and shields, pikemen behind the shieldwall to reach out and touch you, and archers and crossbowmen to soften up before the clash. Southern Cities: Subversive. Most of the Southerners equipment is on-par with the Northerners, but heavy armour is less prevalent among their troops. Instead you may face some exotic units like men with primitive gunpowder weapons, Indebted (naked slave soldiers with minimal weaponry, rely on sheer numbers to win) and Assassins (nimble troops with high attack and low armour). Orcs: Powerhouse. With their massive weapons and thick plate armour, Orcs can be tricky to bring down. Armour-piercing weapons and missiles will quickly bring them low, however. They often fight as berserkers, in a linear fashion with little regard for advanced tactics. Goblins: Subversive. Goblins are weak fighters individually; they employ poison, netting, ambush tactics and the like to bring stronger enemies down to their level. In melee, they can be surprisingly crafty and hard to hit. Undead: Horde. The undead aren't especially dangerous alone, the problem is they seldom are. They keep getting back up after you cut them down, and any slain brothers have a good chance of joining their ranks. The key is to attack the necrosavant keeping them walking; once they are down, the magics sustaining the undead wither and the corpses return to their rest. Ancient Dead: Powerhouse. You have a row of armoured undead spearmen standing together with undead pikemen, impervious to pain and unbreakable while their tight formation holds. Barbarians: Cannons. Barbarians rarely use shields and armour (although their elite warriors may bear some), but this lack of protection gives them a high initiative and a lot of mobility as well. They favour hefty weapons wielded in both hands, capable of cleaving shields and armour with ease. If you can weather the first assault, they can be defeated through attrition.

Here, though, the differences are much smaller then in other games - most units and supports are exactly the same on either side, and many more only have subtle differences. What little differences there are makes Soviets the Subversive, US Powerhouse, and NATO Balanced (NATO uses a mix of units and supports from the other two factions).
