IlClan Delayed for Reformat

[Captain of C-21]

In terms of predictions, I have always thought the IlClan era might see all the I.S. Clans become one-mega Clan, the IlClan, with all the component parts inside (There are still internal Khans, who operate the Clans like states with the IlClan being a very strong federal-style of government).  I remember the Devs mentioning wanting to simply the factions down, and we see that happening with a number of factions.  Then they could have The IlClan in the Inner Sphere, with an IlClan in the Homeworlds.

Capellan Confederation + Canopus + Andurien (Dania Centrella-Liao being the heir to all 3)
Republic + Fed Suns (Mention of a Government in exile in TRO3150)
All the Clans (IlClan perhaps?)

My bet is that even if there is an IlClan, they don't get to hold onto Terra for the long hall.  Given Alaric Ward's cunning, maybe he decides landing on Terra and holding it briefly gives him the prestige to claim IlClan status, kind of like how he played games with Tharkard (only claiming a continent, just going in to kill or capture Archon Melissa).

It has not to be a full-scale invasion, an invasion from the Inner Sphere / Third League firstly and then a steady escalation. A war being fought in deep space away from the Inner Sphere.

Slowly weakening the Third League who will be confronted then by increasing nationalism in the regions of the old Successor States and then more and more rebellions. Besides increasing tensions among the Third League Clans.

So a lot of internal conflicts and and very dangerous external conflict ... a good start for a new age of war.

I'd be down with that. Nothing settles in a new League like a good ol' unification war  >:D. Also, the steady increase of successor state rebellions lets players root for their favorite House throwing off the League's shackles and open up some new fun campaign possibilities.

I begin to think you're all trolling me, the way this thread has descended into the same stravag grasping at crazy theories that renders the wait more wearisome than anything else.

That's just called the internet.  You should be used to it by now.

At this point we're going to keep the thread lock. It has been such a source of bad blood that the mods regard this as a conversational well of poison. Frankly, we're tired of it.
