One question will we be able to become
king or Queen in part 3
Yeah, Iâm pretty sure we will get the ability to control the zombie hordes and with that we will be ruling over all survivors too.

We could, in theory proclaim ourselves as King , Queen and other title we wish to claim 
During a confrontation with the Silverthorne , we could even declare loudly in front of them :
âI am the scales of justice! The conductor of the choir of death! Sing brothers and sisters Sing !!â

Sounds like the beginnings of a well meaning, self-righteous zealot about to fall into a state of corruption and madness. A beautiful possible story with a tragic end.(I might just do a playthrough of this myself)
Iâm all for unique playthroughs, but if you do go down that route, donât pretend youâre better than Keith or the Silverthornes because you wonât be. If anything youâll be something worse than them.

Speaking of Silverthornes what you said made think about going to war with them. If your and just as bad as the the reason you will go to war with them is because they are completion,they have supplies. My main mc group are merchants so whoever wants him and his group they have to pay him good money maybe someone will give money to fight Silverthornes. But my second mc is monarchy he will enslave the Silverthornes once he beats them.
Thought it was quite obvious that I was just kidding. Even if I try to play a 100%ly evil character I always realise halfway trough that it isnât really for me. I like to play pragmatic MCs, but none of them would actually want hurt anyone unless they really donât see anyway around it.
Edit: About the Silverthornes. My MCs would still opt for running from them. That seems the safest for the group, let someone else take the risky choice of playing hero.

I donât want fight Silvers. The logical is both groups merge if we are raiders too. The problem is Keith is a moron. He is so convinced we are a weak goodie group that he offers Mara be a FUCKING farmer like if were the paradise. Instead of use the card your better people will be raiders and the weak will be in our farmer group you still control them for us and maybe you could end being one of top dogs in the Silverthornes.
That way Mara would have been tempted to be one of them and raid a lot to climb in the hierarchy.
Now they only achieve a raider group with tons of weaponry being against them⌠with potential of joining other groups against Silvers.

Do you mean regime aka Dictatorship ? Because no one really has a monarchy because you donât have a kingdom to rule over right now.
I didnât say that because I thought you were being serious. I said that because you would in fact be worse than the Silverthornes and it would be delusional to think you werenât the same as them. If youâre going to be evil at least be honest with yourself that youâre not so different than your rivals.
I never judge people for their type of playstyles, so that wasnât a condemnation. If you want to pillage ,raid and murder good for you. itâs one of my more favorite playstyle along with anti-hero pragmatic MCâs.
Never said Iâd be better than them actually I agree with you. Iâd be a lot worse than them. Lol, what missed from my other post was a rant about world domination and maybe a stereotypical evil laughter at the end.
In part 3 my king will takeover nightfall every group will be under his control if the game allows I will the whole damn State. While my merchant will be all cool

I didnât say you said that either, it was just statement about those creating a post apocalyptic monarchy and dominating other groups not being any different than their rivals. Anyone could have said that and I would have responded the same you just happen to be the one who did so I responded. It was not directed at you.
Easy to boast about doing this if given the opportunity but, how are you actually going to pull it off ? Whatâs your actual plan and battle strategy ? How are you going to keep these dominated âsubjectsâ of yours in line and stop them from overthrowing you or killing you in your sleep ? How will you handle threats from the outside world now that youâve made yourself a target for other groups ?
That or consider their offer which could allow you to stall for time and make a plan with the group instead of just denying them right away and starting a war whether you wanted it or not.
I took sambo for hand to hand combat and upgraded it to master level. When confronted with Kent on the scavenging trip with Jaime, I disarmed Kent and âswept his legs out from under himâ but Kent didnât fall. It said he âstaggeredâ. How does someone remain standing if you sweep their legs and they donât dodge?
Well, I always ask for the 24 hours thinking time. And the plan is that they donât find the group there when they visit again to get an answer. Tho I guess for that the group would need to get that rust bucket (Jaimeâs van) to work again.
Okay I will train my troops my king was green beret officer. You donât have to go to war with enemies right away poison their food and water then move in and start conquering. By the time IâM done conquering nightfall my soldier will be battle hardened and can face any opponent. My plan is to use horses like the Mongols did but with guns. Also destroy all their communications. I will have specal forces and regular units. My plan for keeping them in check make them fill like they were liberated.
What communications ?
How will that work exactly ? Not all groups are enslaved or forced to work for a warlord/tyrant so youâd be the one whoâs doing the dominating/enslaving so youâd probably fail in your attempts to do that because you did in fact enslave them causing them to hate you and seek your death regardless. You canât make a group feel liberated if they were safe, happy and at peace and then you just destroyed their way of life so they can serve you.
The apocalypse seems to produce a plethora of horrors you canât be prepared to fight all of them. Also youâll just be giving any rebels who seek to overthrow the training theyâd need to do so.

Easy give them food and say their leader was a spy from China who wanted to kill them all. Also about the rebel thing I will be watching always. Also destroying communication like radios so they canât communicate with each other
I always like to use the option of persuading everyone to calm down when confronting the Silverthorns.
Donât get me wrong, I definitely hate them. I donât like their mindset, I donât like their aggressive expansion and I definitely donât like the idea of one of their members aiming a gun at my nephew. However, should we engage them from the start, theyâll be well aware that we are enemies-which will close up quite a lot of options to us in regards of dealing with them. Holding up a pretense of being neutral will buy us more time and more options (hopefully options that involve manipulation and subterfuge). A bit of infiltration here and there, poisoning the food supplies and planting sedition in the heads of its members. Itâll be time consuming work, but definitely less risky than a direct assault. And, to me, a bit more entertaining. Shooting things till they die is more than fun, but thereâs something satisfying about trying to be sneaky and pulling it off.
Besides, I already have the Persuasion needed for them to go away without taking Kelly as hostage. So I basically lose nothing, except for maybe the satisfaction of shooting those guys in the face.

Itâs lovely to headcanon Iâm sure but I doubt Jim would go so far as to let MCs take over Nightfall and turn it into a Stalin-esque dictatorship. Itâs⌠also not very feasible even for a military MC. There are very few main characters who support raiding as is and the other raiders will be loyal to someone else or no one at all. Your ragtag band of a highschool student, impulsive bank robber and mental institution patients wonât get very far

I understand that tactics. A goodie tactics for someone thinking like an heroe. Mara is not a heroine. She sees this same as Keiths like a two male lions fight for dominance. You have to show their group that We are a similar foe with at least same power. I let them keith go alone with all their goons death to their base. That will make him mad yes⌠But he was already decided to attacking rape women and make everyone farming slaves. So minate the confidence of his men maybe causing some of internal turmoil is far worth it. As i donât want destroy them i want take control of them and for that the leadership of keith should be destroyed in their men minds and consider us stronger and something to fear that would make the absorbing easier.
All was Keith fault for offering a fucking farm slavery job to Mara⌠What he could expect ?
