Focus Tree
Strathcommune at the start has 3 branch's, one unlocking once the CPF civil war has started. after civil war the faction has 4 paths it can take.
Five to Four Year Plan Branch
This is the main economic branch for Starthcommune, giving you civilian workshops, foundries, infrastructure and power stations. then replacing the five year plan with the four year plan. it also gives you research bonuses to tool procurement, electronics, industry, air, infantry and vehicle technology. This should give you a good base for the CPF war and its immediate aftermath.
The Commune is Calling Branch
This branch only becomes available once the CPF civil war has started, this Branch gives you units of militia. Lowers training time and allows you to pump out more units at the cost of stability. It also gives you some equipment along with arms workshops and some research bonuses. Overall this branch will help you win the difficult CPF war.
The People Reunited Branch
This is the main political branch for Starthcommune and also serves to give the basic plot for the rest of the play through. To the start you'll have to choose whether to start trade with the Three Rivers Republic, working with them gives you bottle caps and the Startcommune Arms Corp which gives ballistic research speed and lower production cost with stronger soft attack. If you go on your own you will gain stability, a free arms workshop and the Starthcommun Arms Plant which gives increased factory construction at the cost of increased cap expenses. It also gives political power and other basic buffs, other then that it sets up the story of the Starthcommune wining the CPF war and the aftermath.
WARNING PAST THIS POINT ARE SPOILERS, OWB IS A NARRATIVE EXPERIENCE AND IS BEST TO BE EXPOSED FRESH WITH NO IDEA WHAT COMES NEXT
After the civil war the Canadian Workers Congress will attempt a coup of the Chairwomen. whether it succeeds or fails is up to the players.
If the coup fails chairwoman Teresee will grow more and more paranoid leading to a rift in the commune and players can choose between her Pink Revaluation or Antoine Soul's Green Revaluation. If the coup succeeds the Workers Congress will take power. But with all the coups and power grabs the play can choose to let the Black Flag fly , stoping the tyranny of the state by burning it all down.
these are the forth paths for Strathcommune.
Failed Coup Branch. CPF Branch
This branch represents the after shocks of the failed coup. As the party splits between two leaders, Sorel and Teresee.
