The Rule of Three (AKA Third Alliance 2, electric boogaloo)

Posting this here since further discussion will probably get forgotten about given the discord's nature


Are you a sweaty nerd with an established brikwars faction that's forever alone?
Do you look upon the Red Menace and the Blue Balls with equal envy and disgust?
Did you think the Third Alliance was good concept, but had too many Wehraboos?
Or do you know WTF any of these groups are, but would like to be apart of creating something new?


The "Third Faction" is a trope that is seen in lots of of games and story worlds, Planetside, Orwell's 1984. Even Megabloks and Lego have done it with some of their lines over the years

Currentley, A lot of the large content creators and community heavyweights have thrown their primary, or otherwise signifigant armies into coalitions and alliances as a means of having occasional collaboration as well as war with other brikwarrior's worlds.



As it stands, There's currentley two major groups that make up the present day brikverse.
The Rubrum Crucesignatis,A Pre-Ragnablok holdover that's stuck around since their creators with one notable exception never really left. with groups like the M-throne Empire, Space Austria, Imperial Magikstrate and Ordo Omega

Starting around the Ragnablok Reset, another group of factions has assembled, the Azure Compact, Consisting of the Skion Empire, Luchardsko, and some others.

I also give honorable mention to the groups like the Brootalz, and Immortals, however I feel like both of them are of a different strain than the aforementioned. That and both of those groups pretty much just fight everyone :troll:


I personally have one of my secondary factions as a member of the RC, but I'm interested in opening the discussion of a third alternative. and would like to explore possible similarities in shared themes or goals between any interested, unaligned group. details like the name and standard colors wouldn't be decided until later down the line.

In my case, I would be pushing my largest faction, the Slavonik Imperiya (500+ Minifigs, 36 Vehicles, and 8 Aerocraft) as a founding member. (Picture is a bit out of date. but just an idea of what Im putting forward)

Ideally looking to start with a more professional looking theme. and any "applying" army should be at least 50 minifigs and 5 vehicles. but no one is going to be turned away because of numbers, if they're serious about collaborating.

I have side factions but they're generally corporate or renegade factions, not really a nation that'd be suitable for this. I've done a few attempts but nothing I was super into. But I'll be working on it now!

My notable side factions like Ugokanai and Technocratic Union are too involved in Magenta sektor stuff, I’m trying to not have them too involved in “global” stuff and to keep them to my stories.

Depending on how this shakes out though and what the TA 2.0 becomes, I might reconsider

I've seen a lot of factions go down this path. It's not really a good path to be going down. They get bogged down in bureaucracy and pacifassication.

Its a side show. Not the main attraction

Half a dozen of the biggest content posters here are already doing it. Too.
I also want to stress that the TA 2.0 thing is a joke. I just mentioned that because it was called the THIRD Alliance.

Considering some of the people who were involved with the original TA, I want nothing to do with that name, just a joke.
