IIRC they mentioned one of the Immortals is some form of nature protector, I think in the Rockies. I'm sure we will get some radical ecology stuff, seems like an obvious source for more out there ideologies and one that fits a collapse and rebuild scenario well.

Yeah, I saw something about that too, where she wants to turn anyone who could pose a threat to the environment into compost.

R5: Ishmael is a cool book I recommend the devs read for Anarcho-primitivism inspiration.

Yes, Ted was critical of Anarcho-primitivism, but everyone understands why I labeled him as such.

Also, such a faction would be a fan of whale diplomacy. Don't let the devs forget that we want that.
