The "everyone hug each other" style of it is what made a lot of people laugh at it and not take it seriously as being survivable through alterations at all. It is seriously not the sort of game where people get along, and anything where factions do seems like a children's cartoon.

As for Legionarie's comment, it gets even better. The reason the Imperium didn't ROFLstomp them for their heresy was because the "Dark Emperor," the dragon/wolf/space marine/hive tyrant/ethereal guy, is supposed to be a brother of the Emperor. The Chaos Space Marines in the empire apparently don't worship the Chaos gods anymore, but don't worship the Emperor either. I think the Dark Emperor just took them into his empire or sth like that. It was also specified to me and Dondrekhan that the Dark Emperor is supposed to be a self insert. I believe the Stardust Empire has sth like 14 Space Marine Chapters and at least two Chaos legions. This is in an empire of 34 worlds, which climbed to 134 after the Sturmkrieg and Volianvan sectors promptly declared war on the heretical monstrosity. I immediately changed it back to 34.

All I can really say is NEVER AGAIN.
