The Alignment system is the core mechanic of the mod. Your alignment score (ranging from -10,000 to +10,000) determines how NPCs of a specific faction treat you. You can view your alignment by pressing the 'L' key.

Alignment Effects

  • Positive Alignment: Allows you to trade with NPCs, hire units, and use faction-specific crafting tables.
  • Negative Alignment: Causes NPCs of that faction to attack you on sight. If your alignment is low enough, they may launch Invasions against you.
  • Pledging: At +100 alignment, you can 'Pledge' to a faction, which grants access to elite units and the ability to conquer territory for that faction.
