=== Nature of the Factions ===
[[File:Factions.png|thumb|400px|Goals and starting relations of all factions]]
With the nations of Earth unable to reach consensus on how to approach the alien arrival on their own, covert transnational factions of like-minded people have become the dominant players in world affairs. Each is driven by an ideology on how to address alien activities on Earth. These factions will seek to invest in and control the governments of Earth to advance their goals. You are leading one of these factions.


The 'players' (human and AI) in the game are called '''"factions'''." The human factions are defined by their '''ideologies''' in dealing with the aliens.
The inner leadership circle of each faction is its council. Councilors will go on missions to help you gain power over Earth's nations and discover the aliens' goals on Earth. Factions also may gain control over armies, and as the story progresses, they may build habitats and fleets in space.


Players in most grand strategy / 4x games lead independent polities -- a nation, a unified planet or empire. Terra Invicta, however, starts with the assumption that existing human institutions cannot work together to address the alien arrival in any meaningful way without a guiding ideology that is provided by the (human and AI) players. These players will seek to invest in and control various nations and other institutions, which have key resources needed for the factions to achieve their objectives.
Factions cannot be entirely eliminated in Terra Invicta. They have emerged from the beliefs of the people of Earth. People can be swayed and organizational structures removed, but ideas can't fully die. What matters is how much power the people holding those ideologies possess.


In Terra Invicta, you choose among one of seven human factions and play as the faction itself. While narrative moments may treat you the player as an individual, you're not a character in any gameplay sense.
During the campaign, each faction will have one or more objectives to fulfill at any given time. Completing objectives will lead to uncovering information about the aliens and their true purpose in our Solar System. Objectives can also unlock special research projects and orgs for a faction.


=== Playable Factions List ===
By using the Contact mission on a councilor from another faction, a councilor may initiate trade discussions with the leader of that faction. Successful trades can serve to lower hostility between factions.


[[The Resistance]] works to form an alliance of nations to mount a coordinated defense.  Led by [[Commander Fiona Ayoade]].
== Trade Negotiations ==
Factions can begin trade negotiations with each other by using the Contact mission. They may trade resources, orgs, control points or council engineering projects. They can also form non-aggression pacts, which prevents two factions from using hostile missions or the declare war policy against each other's councilors and nations.


[[Humanity First]] vows to exterminate the aliens alongside any who sympathize with them.  Led by [[Colonel Hanse Castillo]].  
Nations that are in conflict or at war with each other will reject trade negotiations.


[[The Servants]] worship the aliens and believe they will solve all the troubles of the world.  Led by [[Superior Judith Howell]].
== Atrocity ==
Atrocities are actions that will permanently lower Public Opinion in every nation for a certain faction, as well as the loyalty of councilors with the Ethical and Pacifist traits. The following actions will create atrocities:
* Completing a Nuclear Weapons priority for the first time in a nation
* Using a Strategic Nuclear Barrage
* Razing a region with an army or fleet
* Bombarding a mission control facility or launch facility
* Destroying a hab with civilian modules
* Critically failing Assassinate missions
* Critically failing Increase Unrest missions
* Assassinate mission on a councilor with the Beloved trait
* Various random events


[[The Protectorate]] advocates negotiated surrender as the only means to avoid annihilation.  Led by [[Commissioner Kiran Banerjee]].  
== Human Factions ==
There are seven human factions in Terra Invicta. Each faction has an ideology that determines how hostile it will be to other factions and how much they will be affected by a nation's population having different beliefs. Factions with ideology supportive to the aliens will eventually be able to transfer territory to the alien nation.


[[The Academy]] hopes the alien arrival heralds the opportunity to form an interstellar alliance. Led by [[Chancellor Li Qingzhao]].

=== The Aliens ===
== Most Threatening Faction ==
All factions will slowly begin to target the most threatening faction in the game. The most threatening faction is the one that has the highest threat score, calculated with the following formula:


[[The Aliens]] are a non-playable faction. They have unknown origins and agenda, which will be revealed as the game progressed. 
control points + (sum of all armies' Miltech * 0.5) + active hab modules + objectives completed

Goals and starting relations of all factions

With the nations of Earth unable to reach consensus on how to approach the alien arrival on their own, covert transnational factions of like-minded people have become the dominant players in world affairs. Each is driven by an ideology on how to address alien activities on Earth. These factions will seek to invest in and control the governments of Earth to advance their goals. You are leading one of these factions.

The inner leadership circle of each faction is its council. Councilors will go on missions to help you gain power over Earth's nations and discover the aliens' goals on Earth. Factions also may gain control over armies, and as the story progresses, they may build habitats and fleets in space.

Factions cannot be entirely eliminated in Terra Invicta. They have emerged from the beliefs of the people of Earth. People can be swayed and organizational structures removed, but ideas can't fully die. What matters is how much power the people holding those ideologies possess.

During the campaign, each faction will have one or more objectives to fulfill at any given time. Completing objectives will lead to uncovering information about the aliens and their true purpose in our Solar System. Objectives can also unlock special research projects and orgs for a faction.

By using the Contact mission on a councilor from another faction, a councilor may initiate trade discussions with the leader of that faction. Successful trades can serve to lower hostility between factions.

Trade Negotiations

Factions can begin trade negotiations with each other by using the Contact mission. They may trade resources, orgs, control points or council engineering projects. They can also form non-aggression pacts, which prevents two factions from using hostile missions or the declare war policy against each other's councilors and nations.

Nations that are in conflict or at war with each other will reject trade negotiations.

Atrocity

Atrocities are actions that will permanently lower Public Opinion in every nation for a certain faction, as well as the loyalty of councilors with the Ethical and Pacifist traits. The following actions will create atrocities:

  • Completing a Nuclear Weapons priority for the first time in a nation
  • Using a Strategic Nuclear Barrage
  • Razing a region with an army or fleet
  • Bombarding a mission control facility or launch facility
  • Destroying a hab with civilian modules
  • Critically failing Assassinate missions
  • Critically failing Increase Unrest missions
  • Assassinate mission on a councilor with the Beloved trait
  • Various random events

Human Factions

There are seven human factions in Terra Invicta. Each faction has an ideology that determines how hostile it will be to other factions and how much they will be affected by a nation's population having different beliefs. Factions with ideology supportive to the aliens will eventually be able to transfer territory to the alien nation.
