Editing Dystopian Wars (section)

== Mercenary Factions ==

There are several mercenary factions that will work for anybody (or almost anybody) for the right price. This boils down to a force being able to take a Merc faction as allies, but they always come from your Non-Core selection, limiting you to only 40% of your force able to be taken from a Mercs faction. There is nothing wrong with making you main fleet a Mercenary faction, however, and several of the factions have been getting more love lately.

=== Black Wolf === 

Led by Captain Vladimir Nikonov, a former Russian submarine captain who went AWOL with an experimental Russian submarine because he wanted to be a pirate when he grew up, the Black Wolf is a well funded and large scale Mercs faction based primarily out of a secret base in Greenland. However they have bases all over the world at this point, and raid and pillage when not being contracted out by warring nations. They hold a particularly fondness for destroying Russian shipping, due to their previous ties. 

'''Tactics:''' If there is a faction that captures a fast and hard hitting raiding force, this is it. With Devastating munitions on almost every gun, a plethora of super-torpedoes via experimental submarines, and a new airforce made to swat opponents from the skies, the Black Wolves can lay a beatdown on any fleet in the game. However, their emphasis on balls-out firepower shows, and they lack many defensive measures. So either hit first and hard, or be taken apart through attrition. Such is the life of a pirate!

=== Other Factions ===

For a game that only started in 2010 it already has 20+ factions and several hundred unique models. There are so many bloody factions that no mortal can keep up with them. In addition to those above, the British Raj, East India Trading Company, Kingdom of Denmark, Prussian Scandinavia, Protectorate of Belgium (not really a faction, since its models are simply considered to be from the Republique of France), and Dominion of Canada all have models. There are also various mercenary units that players can field as well.
