Zero-K: The factions condense

?But if you’re thinkin’ about my baby
It don’t matter if you’re black or white ?

In preparation for the next round of PlanetWars, the five factions have been condensed into two, according to their alignments at the end of the previous round. Thus:

Machines, Cyber, Empire -> Synthetic Pact
Dynasty, Liberty -> Dynasty of Man

If you wish to have your clan moved to the other faction, please file a request in the comments thread 🙂

Zero-K: PlanetWars round 11 officially concludes (finally)

The Dynasty of Earth and its allies in Liberated Humanity have established themselves as the dominant power in the galaxy!

After over a thousand battles, intense political intrigue, multiple betrayals and the firing in anger of planet-destroying superweapons, the Dynasty-LH alliance has cemented its position, holding 60% of all planets. In the course of the conflict, the old Empire has been destroyed, its remnants assimilated by the Free Machines it once opposed. Both the Machines and the Cybernetic Front have dug in, awaiting their chance to regain their lost ground… which may come soon.

Tune in next time for the next episode of PlanetWars!
