New Antioch: Brutalidade, Brilhantismo. Blasfêmia?

New Antioch, or Nova Antioquia to its close friends, is one of the central factions of Trench Crusade. It is responsible for the invention of the Communicants, and a religious and social horror show pretending to be a normal society. Is it grimdark enough? Is it too grimdark? Are you grimdark in a clueless way? Who knows? Not me. But I really want to know your opinion. Between the Iron Sultanate, the Trench Pilgrims, the countless problems with the Heretic Legions, and the Court of the Seven Headed Serpent, home to people actively cloning Jesus, with the Meta-Christs, it remains the lesser of two evils. 00:00 - Introduction: Nova Antioquia, Light of the World or End of Common Sense? 01:10 - Nova Antioquia: The House of All Hopes 01:52 - But What Happened to Old Antioch? 02:14 - Tithing to Antioch 02:46 - The Vision and Life of the City of New Antioch 03:35 - The War Beyond the Trenches 04:00 - Food, Logistics 04:15 - New Antioch's "Allies" - Iron Sultanate, Trench Pilgrims 04:36 - Prussians and Abyssinians Living Together 04:56 - The Defenses of the City of All Hope 05:09 - The Military Forces of New Antioch 05:32 - Forges, Tools, Blacksmiths 06:49 - Christian Sacrifice? 07:14 - Antiochian Expeditionary Forces 07:40 - The problems of the New Antioch military model (no one is a friend) 08:06 - The Heretics of the Heretic Legion 08:19 - Social life and military philosophy 09:19 - Inquisition, P2, grammatical heretics, and the bustling nightlife 10:25 - The Central Theme of the Plebeian Faction 11:23 - The central problem of the faction as it stands now 11:50 - C4n1b4lism, Blasphemy, and Necromancy 12:12 - Necromancy of New Antioch 14:20 - An alternative proposal for the use of the Saints. 2:37 PM - Complaining about Catholic Necromancers again 3:10 PM - Prophets who can't see the past, can't understand the future 3:35 PM - 2-in-1 combo on Meta-Christs. 4:19 PM - Why stop at just one crime against God?
