When talking with Tyrone about the Cartel faction, we both agreed on the idea of a Asian cartel/triad as an idea (like cartels, they're worldwide, however a "mexican" cartel is hard to pull off given we have no identities in the game for it really. We do have asian faces and voicelines however, so that's a nice base to start with + it feels a bit unique).
Will do some poking about the internet looking up some Chinese Triads for inspiration.
Things that would need to be done:
Need to reskin faces/arms (asian inspired tattoos, like dragons or whatever. Possibly the triad's logo if we can come up with something).
Potential reskin of some civilian clothing for the low level gang members.
Reskin of uniforms/vests for higher level members (spray painted logo on vests for example).
Reskin of vehicles (again, spray painted logo's).
Tiered units (low level, shit gear. Medium level is okay gear. High tier is sorta paramilitary kinda or something, good gear. Also a "boss/leader" sub category using those fancy pancy suits and what not from CUP).
Will likely just make it as a new faction instead of overwriting Cartel one. Can always easily delete it if we end up not wanting it.
