Meh why not. May give some one some insight/inspiration/helpful tips or just a vision into the mess that is DD2 and his mind.

1. Find a base/inspiration or multiple. Generally I try to find something in our own world to base a faction off of or you can chose something abstract as a movie, song, or a piece of art. I've always found that having a base is really, really, really helpful seeing as you will never truly create something 'from scratch'. Also I would suggest not making a carbon copy seeing as that's rather boring shake some things up a bit!

2.Immersion! Immerse yourself with your faction (well more it's base) I've always read up on history and culture, jammed out to native music, and looked at art and values, that has always helped me when trying to come up with a faction. If you want to play around with the language go for it!

3. Mood. I've always established a mood for my factions and generally for myself it is best to stay on that path and only stray slightly when I deem it necessary.

Here are some don'ts:

1. Try not to make carbon copies

2. if it's your first faction or just testing out an Idea try making it small

3. Don't always make massive super power factions it's nice to have some diversity in your own lore and on the wiki's lore.

4. Use basic common sense as always and don't make a base that doesn't make sense for your faction or can be considered OP,boring or annoying.
