Faction Turns
Scale: flexible relationship to time. Usually peace time is longer turn duration and less gets done (and less is risked) but war time speeds things up. Commonly 1 month war turns and 1 year peace turns.
Versus Checks: Initiator rolls to reduce the used stat after using it
Resources - treasure or territory may be used in place of any roll but roll to reduce each time used this way
Tech level - Versus between factions with different tech level give the higher tech faction an additional die of advantage in the roll for each tech level above the target
Standard Actions:
• Invest - roll to upgrade a faction stat
