cant take over factions. so you can only do so in RP in conjunction with the take over towns mod.

I haven't played that mod yet. Though instead of taking over the world like a greedy power hungry maniac like the game encourages you to do, why not invite the possibility of trying to save the world? I think this only involves killing the right characters, if I'm not wrong. Empathy can really influence gameplay, I believe.

There really is no mechanic for empathy in Kenshi, besides healing downed enemies. Let's hope that for K2

You could try out being a pacifist.

Feed hungry bandits, or imprison those attacking your outpost then clothe them and release them. Train hungry bandits until they're strong enough to defend themselves, then make the choice to release them afterwards, or not. Educate them in the sciences. Start out a school maybe. Don't sell weapons or armour for trade aside from food or beverage. Only imprison for life those who REALLY wronged your faction. Or you can maybe go as for as to assassinate the leaders of the holy nation for the other factions to take over, then back those cities by making several outposts in the Holy Nation that bolster food production and education for all factions around.

It's not entirely impossible. In fact, it may not make sense trying to do this, since you'll have to try very hard to conform in between morality and morally gray areas, even break your code once in a while along the way if that's how you like it. It's still a matter of your choosing, however. Fu***** sh** up gets a little old sometimes.

P.S. Most of this I came up with at the top of my head. Will try these out later on.

There is a mod that lets you start as lord phoenix, of course you aren't actually him but you can recruit anyone from the holy nation
