>>32332869>>32332172>>32332027>>32331872>>32331344I disagree with my origination intention of making him a puppet. I see the four at the top, being the Princeps Civitatis, Magister Equitum, Magister Auxilia, and Sacerdotes Maximus working together as one "corpus". The VFA does not micromanage, what it does is keep stability, root out hostile factions/dissent, keep an eye on the people, and perform the basic operations from an advanced intelligence service. The VFA direct branches act more out of civic duty more so that self interested, especially after reforms. I have ideas about the Master of the Horse being even more related to the Magister Auxilia, but I will need to think
As for the government, I made it complex on purpose to show societal rot in a way. Who knows how that willl turn out
>>32331673This is accurate, the VFA Direct Branches are trying to take a more paternal role and accept themselves as part of the corpus of state.
>>32329895I have a few questions tho!!! Could the Magister Auxilia rule V7 if he wished to do so??? I believe some sort of coup would be really easy since the VFA has operatives in every branch of government!!
In theory, that is correct but the operatives also know they are underqualified for such positions and that the status quo benefits them. the MA usually is chosen based on his ability to think critically about the nation and VFA as a whole, and they realize that it would be best to work in the shadows out of "Civic Duty".
>How are the Exploratoris organized?? Are they some sort of elite force subordinated to the VFA or to the Army/Navy?? Also how big is it???It's complicated. Even though they fall under the VFA, the main reason they do is because those two branches are corrupt and that the VFA would provide superior personnel. As for the size, I cannot give you a detail but almost all intelligence work for both branches, whether it be encryption, decryption, spying or scouting goes to the Exploratoris
>Since the Sicarii has a massive influence in the government, is it loyal to the VFA or to the republic?? I imagine that it could overthrow the government if the Magister didn't approve the republic's ideology!! Like the Secretum Vigilum!! Even though they don't care about reformists, they could easily turn against them!!!Sicarii used to be more corrupt than they are now. Remember the code that the VFA is loyal to the Republic first and part of the reason for this was past corruption. The Secretum Vigilum also follow this principle. They understand the difference between reformists and revolutionaries. In the past, they targeted reformists but things have changed.
>From what I'm seeing so far, did you want to make the VFA some sort of an unstable organization that essentially rules the country?? I may have gotten some lore mixed up, I still have to do my reps ;w;The VFA is not unstable, it is the Vitalis Septem that could be considered that but they aren't often involved in internal affairs. In reality, I think all of them are stable, the instability is more of a result from the state's own issues. The VFA stands in many ways as a juxtaposition of the rest of the nation.
>Kino!!!! It's like a spying game then???? Also I can't wait for some more info on the Nigrum Manu!!! Keep up the good work organicbro!!!! I really like it!!!Yes, this is what I am hoping anons are the most excited about. I love the concept behind each one of the Vitalis Septem agencies.
>Mr. Z, I love organic’s writing style so much. He gives the amount of information that is needed while being detailed. I LOVE LOVE LOVE THE AGENCIS. Like these are SO COOL!!!!! I want to hire someone soon!!!!! Amazing, and I love the subtle details about the ethics of each organzation. Some of the subtle jokes were funny!!!!! Organic is AMAZING!!!! He inspired me with Emma.Thank you, I am honoured to hear you, someone who I admire sing such praises of me. And I am touched that you and others think I am underrated. :)
>>32359093Thank you Watamate. I appeciate the high words and your analysis as a whole. You understood what I was doing well.
> I do hope that we can all work together to do the history of the region in a thoughtful way, and in that project, I would personally request Organic to be our "leader" as his visions of events and how things work are fantastic. I loved how he integrated my lore into Lusitania. I cannot wait to see what happens when we add warkop into the pictureWould be an honour but at the end of the day, we are working together in such a situation. I am just merely one of the writers.
Again thank you all, this is what I have wanted to hear.
