Loyalty Question

[TruePraetorian]

..if im understanding the question correctly, then no. If faction B is shadowing faction A, then faction A needs "shadowed_by" and then faction B.

Here is an example for ye:

Faction A (Empire East) is shadowed_by Faction B (Empire East Rebels). This means when, in loyaltys case, a character rebels, he will rebel to faction B.

Also, you can't include the slave faction in any shadowing, it will result in numerous CTD's.

Hope I helped
