Summary
Frostpunk 2has been received as one of the finest approaches to city-building survival games. The sequel boldly expands its post-apocalyptic setting by introducing gamers to political strategy aspects. One way it accomplishes this is through political party Factions. Each Faction adheres to three unalterable beliefs known as Cornerstones. Frostpunk 2’s story features four Factions, while the Utopia builder has eight.
The game capitalizes on strategy, challenging choices, debates, and consequences. But it’s undeniable that each Faction is full of personality, and different gamers may connect better with different Factions. Are you a hardy Iceblood? A trustworthy Faith Keeper? Fate is written in the stars. Here are what Factions you might connect most with, according to your zodiac sign.
12Capricorn: Legionnaires
December 22 - January 19
A goal-setter with big dreams and ambitions, but also cynical and perfectionistic, Capricorn’s characteristics are well-portrayed in the Legionnaires. Just like Legionnaires are guided by their sense of tradition, you have strong traditions and preferences, want to stick to what you know, and don’t like compromise.
Capricorns probably appreciate how Legionnaires can give players a strong start toward sweet independence and self-sustainability. With their Prefab boost you cantake maximum advantage of by rallyingand thus expanding it across multiple city districts during your early game, the Faction is likely to appeal to the Capricornian’s tireless, consistent work ethic and methods.
11Aquarius: Venturers
January 20 - February 18
Analytical and assertive, you’re Venturer material and have the potential to be a key asset to a thriving society and economy. Enviably independent, efficient at work, outspoken, and confident, Venturers exemplify some of Aquarius' strongest qualities. This includes probably being great with money and having great style. Like your fellow Faction members, you likely often know more about people than you let on.
As an Aquarius, you want to get the most you can out of everything. Enterprising Venturers, who provide the city’s economy with ample financial cushioning and remarkably efficient production, are calculating and highly opportunistic in nature, and you probably find yourself drawn to this Faction’s approach to the world.
10Pisces: Bohemians
February 19 - March 20
Pisces are good-natured and sentimental. In all you do, you attempt to have pure intentions, much like the members of the Bohemian Faction. Natural dreamers, Pisces might connect with the peace-loving Bohemian mindset and their creative passion, as well as their opposition to cold-heartedness and severe labor laws. Bohemians place a lot of value on close community, learning, and open-mindedness, and like idealistic Pisces, have a unique way of seeing the world.
You’re a lover of the arts, and likely a skilled artist yourself with a rebellious streak, making you a perfect fit for this artistically expressive Faction. Being able to embrace this identity wherever you are is vitally important to you, just like it is to members of this Faction, who want to see oppressive traditions done away with and equality prevail.
9Aries: Iceblood
March 21 - April 19
Daring, strong-willed, and hungry for challenge, Aries has what it takes to survive and thrive in the Frost, making them a fitting member for the Iceblood Faction. Quick to act and never backing down from a fight, with powerful emotions and leadership skills, the Icebloods epitomize Aries' unmatched bravery. Icebloods are both tough as nails and resourceful, using their surroundings to their advantage. The merciless ice is no match for your fire. In true Iceblood fashion, there’s also a good chance you’d wrestle a polar bear for fun.
Icebloods are a Faction anyone looking to survive wants on their side, just like any sign in their right mind wants Aries' close by when things go south. Natural hunters and survivalists, they keep a society safer from the perils of starvation, like Aries will keep their friends safe from harm. Strength is the most important thing for sustaining a society to Icebloods, and they reward a job well done. Resilient Aries could probably feel right at home with this Faction.
8Taurus: Stalwarts
April 20 - May 20
Ever steady Taurus. These down-to-earth but headstrong individuals might get along well with Frostpunk 2’s story Faction of Stalwarts. You favor order, and are known to really like getting your way with things. Practicality and reliability are essential to you, as are planning and preparation, characteristic Stalwart values. Sincerity is the way to your heart.
Taureans are bluntly honest, and admire when others back up their words with actions, though, like Stalwarts, they’re uncomfortable with radical change, and prefer to approach things carefully. People might often accuse you of being stubborn and guarded, but underneath this, you’re deeply committed to the things you care about.
7Gemini: Technocrats
May 21 - June 21
Inventive, sharp, curious, talented, occasionally called a know-it-all, Technocrats are probably the perfect Faction for adventurous Gemini. Crafty and good with numbers, happy Technocrats wish to innovate the city, make the best use of available resources, and strongly pursue education and research. Typically gifted and capable researchers and multitaskers who trust facts and are full of ideas, forward-thinking Geminians might feel particularly enthusiastic about this tech-savvy Faction.
That said, don’t get carried away with your Technocrat hunger for information, Gemini. Don’t take on more research projects than your funds can handle. You have to be able to see the promising ones through with the support and funds to become full-fledged visions.
6Cancer: Faithkeepers
June 22 - July 22
True romantics known for their sensitivity, Cancer might fit in best with the Faithkeepers Faction for multiple reasons. Another story Faction, this group is founded on faith and belief. As a Cancerian, trust, close relationships, and loyalty are of vital importance to you. These things define Faithkeepers as a group and as people, as they wish to preserve peace and fairness in a harsh world.
Faithkeepers have a special ability to build trust through Prayer, reflecting Cancer’s deep commitment to the things and people they believe in. Cancer may also connect with the Faction’s ultimate desire to ensure righteous decisions are made for the city, as sentimental and empathetic beings who make every effort to do the right thing.
5Leo: Menders
July 23 - August 22
Leos are reputed as particularly outgoing. They’re social butterflies with a special spark of charisma, confidence in their abilities, and they cherish friendships. These qualities are reflected in the Menders Faction considerably. Menders can encourage population growth during the earlier and harder years of the game through rescue operations, tapping into Leo’s extroversion and high regard for friendship.
For competitive Leo players, Menders may be a welcome advantage. Menders can conduct missions to explore land and uncover resources. This grants the opportunity to establishOutposts and Settlementsfor advancingcolonization of the Frostlands, and opens up sources of supplies earlier in the game’s timeline.
4Virgo: Evolvers
August 23 - September 22
Industrious, diligent, and meticulous, Virgo meshes well with the story’s Evolvers Faction. If you’re a Virgo, you’re levelheaded, and led by reason, like the members of your Faction. While you like to keep your work efficient and have an insatiable need for productivity, you want your plans to ultimately be as precise and effective as possible. You Evolvers are especially adaptable, and aim to embrace your new world. Embrace the Frost.
Though know to be critical, you command respect, and you are the standard for organization and time-management. Like this Faction, Virgos can be a powerful influence on those around them, incredibly productive, and a prized asset to their community’s prosperity.
3Libra: Proteans
September 23 - October 23
Libras could make great Proteans. They usually practice tactfulness and enjoy helping others, but constantly strive for balance and stability. These qualities would make Libras excellent, dedicated, and attentive healers and scientists. Peace-keeping but rational, Libras, like Proteans, will likely understand a great city stands on the backs of great workers.
Having Proteans is a win, especially with highly productive and Adaptation-heavy societies. This Faction neutralizes the toll hard work and population growth takes on workers and on people’s health, providing healthcare, and studying disease and medicine. Libras always desire the best possible outcome, as visionary Proteans desire a peak functional city. Both would make sacrifices to get there.
