MOBFACTIONS
Mobfactions are groups of mobs of many varieties that all have a knowledge and like or dislike of each other. Some help players but most do not. Some like each other and others do not. It is the interaction between mobfactions that makes the game as dynamic as possible. Almost every game is run by scripts. They use scripts to load monsters and scripts to run monsters. Mobfactions are a totally new game design concept. How they are created: The DM keeps track of every aspect of a party's adventure, which is sadness, happiness, pride, and fear. It attempts to understand how your party is feeling by watching everything that happens. A FORMATION of players is a party. A SHIP is a party. A CLANTOWN is a party. It attempts to balance happiness vs sadness, proud vs fear, and many other emotional connections. If you are sad it sends help. If you are too proud it makes life harder. If you are not afraid something is wrong. If you are not happy you must be bored so it takes care of that as well. Each sector of the world map (100x100) is also tracked in this way. Each campaign that runs mobfactions has its emotional state tracked. All of this information is used by the master DM to make sure everyone is having a good adventure. The DM knows how you are doing, how local people or ships are doing, how the local area as a whole is doing, and finally how the mobfactions themself are feeling. When you play Medievia in the wilderness or on the open seas, the DM is watching! As you can see, mobfactions are not loaded by some script, or timer, or any other 'cheat'. They are made in the same way and for the same reasons a player DM at a tabletop role playing game would make them, and are adjusted on the fly, as adventures progress.
