Liao, hands down. As a Davion I feel like I am obligated to make fun of Dracs and hold a grudge and all that. But at the end of the day I feel like the Cappellan Confederation is the most disgusting political entity human beings have ever created in BTech.

Mao and Stalins wet dream come true. I'll pass.

I will take space NATO any day of the week.

hey, at least we aren't hypocritical about our flaws and admit our leader has absolute power. the only check to your first prince's power is a council that can basically be dissolved at your first prince's discretion.

Steiner - As a Germanic, I find it bitterly disappointing that a strong economy and form of government has allowed the entire state to be as degenerate as it is. Incompetent leadership, incompetent monarchs and classes are dictated by wealth oopposed to merit. Absolute garbage.

Better check the source books again, and you'll be surprised.

IIRC, the Lyran Commonwealth combined the skill of the Lyran soldier with the superior tactics of Davion command, and after the Commonwealth dissolved, the Lyrans continued to employ better tacticians. I guess I'll have to go reading again.

I'm by no means well read on lore. The truth of the matter is that no house is appealing to me.

FRR:
Space Vikings + Republic = lol gross. If I see the words "mead" "wench" or "beard" or see a link to some horrible metal band one more time I swear Im succeeding.

Davion:
Not interested in helping them Brits maintain their space Empire.

Laio:
Psychopathic Chinese with that irritating "Sqwawking"

Kurita:
Weeabos

Marik:
Not a single redeeming quality about the Free Worlds League. Although I gather that the MWO house Marik has a pretty good community what with the civil war campaign and so on.

Need I remind you the political system in the Confederation was created by Davions themselves?

[Smokeyjedi]

Those damned sissy pants factions (FRR) (KUR) will sit back and play retreat the entire match, continuously falling back in retreat mode, makes me question if the lot of you even carry a spine...........Oh and the DAVs need to bring sooo much tonnage its silly, really are you all the insecure about yourselves............diversity is key ya buncha gorillas

wasnt it "I´m not racist, i hate everyone equally" ? ;)what i find amusing is this "oh they used poison gas, they crushed the commonwealth...bla"....anyone remembering "enemy combatants" in a caribic island ? anyone got a memory on the "greatest democracy" shooting down students and peaceful protesters (or this small and unimportant rodney-king-thing....oh man will i get flamed )this is a sf-game, bringing in whatever anyone hates in his rl is getting us nothing but *****-fights, flame-wars and for sure agressions....at least the last part sounds good

And that's what the Clans are there for.

Space NATO? Davion gave his bride the fourth Succession War as a wedding gift...last I checked, NATO tried not to do that.

And you do know that marik was destroyed by those they thought they where protecting?

Well House Marik separated and fought themselves for the leadership and reformed in 3139. However, the Free Worlds League did play a hand setting up the Jihad by providing the WOB with a haven and the equipment, along with the fact that "The Master" who perpetrated the whole event was marik blood. Regardless, part of the Jihad was their fault so they got what they deserved.

There is no such thing as the "Jihad" as the Battletech history stopped before that

[Hendrik Grimm]

Definitely would be Liao for me.

[TaMpest]

Liao !

For now I hate whoever I am paid to hate, for as long as I am paid to hate them. Wicked parties hiring me to smite other wicked parties, win-win in my book. But really none are worthy of existence and my equal regard for all is what keeps me in business.

I believe there will, however, come a time when cleansing fire shall sweep across the inner sphere. The wicked will turn to ash and be plowed into the fields, renewing what was selfishly exploited and left barren. When that time comes I intend to not sell my services to their defense; false kings and tyrants shall fall, surrounded by the ill-gotten gains that could not save them. Rather I shall watch in awe as the righteous reclaim what is rightfully theirs.

(Yep, I really do get a kick out of my call sign sometimes.)

I had joined Steiner, but that was the moment when a looooong series of terribad matches started. In one of these games someone even wondered "why dere are no lrm in de shopp", and that was the moment when i realized my real place was somewhere else, or as lonewolf as it's always been.

The Word of Blake: AKA the only faction that favored indiscriminate nuclear war in the name of their fanatical ideology (though they did have the Archangel and Raptor II, a few mechs I like) If you're talking pre-jihad, then it would be Comstar since their definition of preserving humanity was doing everything in it's power to keep the inner sphere technologically stagnant, often by assassinating researchers and scientists.

As far as the Clans, I dislike the Smoke Jaguars, they were the most brutal of the clans, and the were unbelievably cruel, for cruelty's sake, rather than for any real purpose. (I did like Trent though, as he was one of the few jaguars who realized how corrupt his clan had become.) Aside from the Jaguars, I dislike the Steel Vipers, mostly for instigating the wars of reaving.

[Panthros]

I despise House Liao and House Kurita. The Dragon killed our once first prince, Ian Davion which will never be forgiven. The Liao's fight in the shadows and not honorable to fight on the field of battle as equals. I despise the Liao's even more!

[Tannhauser Gate]

You are all looking at this the wrong way. It is not "which single house do you hate". It is which single house is worthy of glory? Which single house claims the eternal Yu as its symbol and a blessed pure blood line for it's leaders? There is only one house reserved for true humanity and the true servants of heaven. House KURITA. Hear my words oh deluded "heroes" of incompetent leaders, of wealth mongering opportunists and culturally deprived. I speak to you now. We offer you , as we always have, the chance to join true civilization in the Combine and use your skills to raise humanity from the darkness. All honorable people are welcome serve the one true house. The rest of you.. mercenaries and swords for hire.. well.. you are honorless dogs and no sword for hire is worth hiring. Death is your final shameful end.

welcome to: FACTIONS BY STEREOTYPE:

Davion:
Western Europe / Americas.
Usually portrayed as the goodguys in the game series and given a heaping helping of morality and so much {Noble MechWarrior} paintjob it hurts the eyes , when portrayed as a "villian" it is not because of true villainy but someone else pulling the strings...

Steiner:
Eastern Europe/ Western Europe.
Portrayed as a "good guy" until Melissa Stiener walks into the room. When portrayed as good it normally gets the {Noble MechWarrior} treatment, but when portrayed as bad... this faction gets a double gloss coat of N.A.Z.I. with Communist detailing

Liao:
Western/Lower Eastern Asia
portrayed as the cunning/foxy underdog when good, portrayed as shifty-eyed scum of the earth when villianized. Gets a double dose of "cheating B*stard" in videogames

Kurita:
East Asia/ Middle Eastern
portrayed like Liao with a little bit less B*stard, when held as good it gets a heaping of Honorable Bloodknight, when held in the villain spotlight they quickly get a helping of "scheming B*stard"

Marik:
Americas
A-Marik-A... usually isolationist. When portrayed as good it gets the Extreme Morality treatment, usually does not get the villain side unless you count Blakists, then it gets a small dose of "side scheming B*stard"

Rasalhague:
Northern Europe
if portrayed as good it gets a metric ton helping of Honorable Bloodknight, scratch that, when portrayed as ANYTHING, it gets a metric ton helping of Honorable Bloodknight.

anything else except the Clanners is practically called AFRICA.

[Rotiart_Drol]

Liao, Because they aren't really a House. More like A Hospital, A Mental Hospital...

[MayGay]

Liao, at least Kuritans are a worthy opponent, house Liao is just pitiable.
