    Your global reputation should not go down when you're at war-- if anything, it ought to go up, especially if you're kicking arse! Instead, you should be penalized for being at peace for too long.

    Somebody should make a mod for that. I wish I was a good modder. I've tried custom factions in other games, but it failed miserably.

    Haha, this is so great. I've had some of these thoughts before, but some are down right funny and brilliant acts of parody upon the game's namesake compared to in-game.
    Bravo
