First Rays of Sunlight
When the princesses fell, Equestria trusted in Twilight Sparkle and her friends. When they were not enough, Equestria rallied its army to fight to the bitter end. When that was not enough, it now falls to the regular ponies of Equestria to fight. The dawn will come again, and we shall usher it in, so fight, Equestrians, fight like you've never fought before!
|
| |
Mobilise the Masses
Everypony who has not thrown in utterly with the changelings is our natural ally in this struggle. Politics, old grudges, differing philosophies or backgrounds, none of that matters right now. All that matters is to fight for freedom, and those who can aid us in this will be our comrades.

Our Liberatory Crusade
How many thousands of ponies have not suffered at the hooves of the changelings? Yet for each murdered or tortured pony, five more ponies have gritted their teeth in anger and despair. Now these ponies stand ready to fight and, if need be, die for Liberty.
|
|
A Dozen brigades of Ponies' Militia will be deployed all across our territories: - 'Starlight' Brigade - 'Lulamoon' Brigade - 'Kindness' Brigade - 'Generosity' Brigade - 'Honesty' Brigade - 'Laughter' Brigade - 'Loyalty' Brigade - 'Magic' Brigade - 'Harmony' Brigade - 'Perseverance' Brigade - 'Sunshine' Brigade - 'Smiles' Brigade
|
Send Out the Cadres
Wherever we march forth, ponies come out cheering our triumphs and eagerly wanting to join the struggle. With resources put aside for the purpose, we can steadily let our numbers grow as we march forth, turning into an tsunami that will sweep the changelings away!
|
|
Unlocks ability to raise Volunteers in core states where we have full control, where two 12-width Volunteers divisions can be deployed in each state. |
Brave Ponies of the Resistance, Rise Up!
This is no simple war of front lines, this is a war for liberty, and borders and front lines do no matter to the rebels who skulk in the forests and mountains, waiting for their chance to strike. With our uprising advancing, these ponies are preparing to strike as well, and together we shall make Equestria boil with opposition to the invaders!
|
|
Unlocks ability to Incite Uprisings in Changeling-controlled states, where each Uprising has a preparation time of (14) days, for a maximum of (5) uprisings in preparation at any given time. This allows us to activate Harmonic Resistance cells in changeling-controlled states, where our comrades will organise into five battalions of Partisans and rise up in armed rebellion. We will have to move fast to link up with these partisan revolts behind the enemy lines, or we will effectively be sending our friends to their deaths. |
Harsh Times, Harsher Measures
We stand on the brink, and cannot assume that we will ever get another chance like this. That is why we must make the most of it. For now, everything that does not contribute to this fight must be viewed as a distraction, and we must go in with single-minded determination. Yes it is harsh, and under normal circumstances we would never do this to our fellow ponies, but now we have to.

 In the Service of the Revolution
|
Officialise the CMCs
Who would have thought that the little fillies that ran across the fields of Ponyville, eager for their cutie marks, would grow up to be such inspiring figures in their own right? They are no longer children though, and their teachings can now inspire all the fillies of Equestria in the days to come.
|
|
|
Enlist for Victory!
Equestria still lives! She has not died yet, and she will not die as long as we refuse to admit defeat! When this war ends, where will you have been? Your family, your friends, your community and your world needs YOU to fight for her. Neither princesses nor heroes will win this war, but regular ponies will!
|
|
Upgrades the Volunteers division template to 16-width Regulars, with the addition of 2 Infantry battalions and 1 Engineer Company.
Five Divisions of Equestrian Ponies' Regulars will be formed and deployed: - 1st Equestrian Ponies' Regulars - 2nd Equestrian Ponies' Regulars - 3rd Equestrian Ponies' Regulars - 4th Equestrian Ponies' Regulars - 5th Equestrian Ponies' Regulars
|
Weapons for the Revolution
We have weapons for now, but the brutal war that is to come will require more. We must turn every factory and every workshop we can to arming our forces as quickly as we can, lest the changeling war machine crushes us under its sheer weight.

Form the Flying Columns
The Pegasi Corps of the Wonderbolts and many others were shattered during the invasion, but there's enough survivors left to reform that illustrious force in a new form. Leaving them as high-flying aces is too wasteful, and instead we must make sure they are used to bind our forces together the most efficiently.
|
|
 The Flying Columns
While the Wonderbolts have all but ceased to exist, there has been no shortage of brave pegasi wanting to remember these high-flyers. This fierce spirit is an inspiration to all, and the Pegasi of Equestria are eager to show that they have not forgotten Commander Hurricane's legacy.
Two Flying Columns of Pegasi will be formed and deployed: - 'Caelum' 101st Flying Column - 'Puppis' 82nd Flying Column
|
If We Must, We Shall Die...
Life is the most precious thing a pony has, and no matter who she is, her passing is always a sad thing. Yet, right now we are in a battle for everypony's sake, and again and again trials come before us. Sometimes somepony must pay the ultimate price. It shouldn't have to be so, but that is why those who are prepared to sacrifice everything for their friends are heroes without equal.

Found the Ponies' Liberation Army
Our partisans, rebels and guerillas have fought and bled for month, and yet they have only grown stronger for it. We are no longer commanding a rag-tag band of brave resistance fighters, but rather we have been forged into a true army, one that will gear itself now to push back at the invaders, harder than ever before.
|
|
 The Ponies' Liberation Army
Equestrians don't fight for glory or conquest, they fight for their lands and their homes, and the Ponies' Liberation Army will fight to ensure the freedom and safety of Equestria, no matter the cost.
The Ponies' Liberation Army
Equestrians don't fight for glory or conquest, they fight for their lands and their homes, and the Ponies' Liberation Army will fight to ensure the freedom and safety of Equestria, no matter the cost.
|
Unity at All Costs
We stand together, or we fall one by one. We have to address grievances when they arise at once, or simply demand that both parties put their differences aside. May Twilight Sparkle's lessons not fail us here, for without this trust and respect we may well end up faltering.
|
|
 Wartime United Front
This battle is for the very fate of Equestria, and we must all stand together. Dissent and doubt can come later, but right now we must commit to the battle in front of us with all our trust and all our fury, otherwise there will be no victory.
|
Labour for the Home-Front
It will take every single free pony in Equestria working day and night to carry on the fight. Railroads, factories, farms, hospitals and schools, it doesn't matter who they are, only what they can contribute, and if we all work together, hopefully no single pony will be over-burdened.
|
|
|
Collectivise War Effort
Our struggle isn't one between queen and princess, but between queen and regular ponies, and everypony has a stake in this fight. Everypony who knows something of use must be put where they will do the best, and we are not going to bandy about bits or rewards here. We are a family fighting as one now, and a family helps each other.
|
|
|
Endorse the Bits Gun
The Bits Gun is a fantastic weapon. It is cheap, sturdy and easy to produce, so let's distribute the blueprints for it so that everypony with even a simple garage of workshop can still help us arm our fighters. After all, nopony can do everything, but everypony can do something.
|
|
 Bits Gun Mass-Production
200 units of the Bits Gun shall be produced and added to our stockpile on a weekly basis. The simple design, low production cost, and interchangeability of components of the Bits Gun, first manufactured in New Mareland, makes it the ideal weapon for our liberatory struggle.
On a weekly basis, our decentralised network of manufactories will produce 200 units of the Bits Gun to be automatically added to our stockpiles. |
A Free Government
One of the key things about the old Equestria was freedom. Ponies were free to live their lives, find their careers and purposes, express the ideas they had and criticize the powerful without risking retribution. These values will not be forgotten even after this brutal conflict, and Liberty, Friendship and Harmony shall be our guiding principles, now and forever.

Don't Forget Democracy
Princess Trixie Lulamoon and Princess Starlight Glimmer does have a certain ring to it to many, but neither Trixie nor Starlight has entertained this notion. They refuse to become dictators, and instead they have ordered for something new; elections. Equestria could be trusted with fighting for its existence, then it can be entrusted with choosing its leaders.
|
|
Democratic Elections will be periodically held every 90 days where available Political Advisors will be automatically assigned in groups of [ELF_amount_of_ponies_to_be_elected]. |
Freedom for the Liberated
As we push forward, we don't want to leave just military garrisons in our wake. We know Equestria will be reborn, and the sooner the better, so let's dedicate some of our efforts to make sure that civil authority can be restored in the reclaimed homeland as soon as possible.
|
|
Unlocks ability to Install Civilian Administrations in liberated states, where each Reintegration has a preparation time of (30) days, for a maximum of (5) reintegrations in preparation at any given time.
This allows us to restore democracy to liberated territories by transitioning regional military occupations to civilian administrations. |
Call On the Diaspora
When Equestria fell, the fortunate managed to flee abroad, and they have watched their homeland be ravaged by the Changelings ever since. They haven't magically stopped being Equestrians though, and tens of thousands of those refugees are eager to rally to our cause, many times bringing friends or their new families with them as well.
|
|
Eight Brigades of the International Legions will be formed and deployed: - 1st International Legion 'Bakaran' - 2nd International Legion 'Wittenlander' - 3rd International Legion 'Nimbusian' - 4th International Legion 'Riverlander' - 5th International Legion 'Aquileian' - 6th International Legion 'New Marelander' - 7th International Legion 'Crystal Ponies' - 8th International Legion 'All-Equestrian'
|
Revive Equestrian Institutions
So many things were lost during the invasion, and the Equestria that arises after the war could well be unrecognizable if we don't take care to preserve those things. Equestria will be reborn, and we will make sure that for all the things that have changed, there will be things that remain the same as well.
|
|
|
Rally the Everfree
The Everfree Forest was a hotbed of resistance activity from the beginning of the invasion, and though there's still rebel activity in the forest, the various factions of the Everfree are scattered and divided. Yet, if we can convince them to join us we will be blessed with cadres of the most elite resistance fighters in all of Equestria.
|
|
The paramilitaries of the Everfree Coalition's constituent political factions will be consolidated into Eight brigade-strength mobile Combined Units: - 'Deepfall Timberwolves' Brigade - 'Red Devils' Brigade - 'Restless Spirits' Brigade - 'Revolutionary Nuclei' Brigade - 'Equestrian Patriots' Brigade - 'Militant Tendency' Brigade - 'Horn and Wings' Brigade - The Angry Brigade |
Trust in the Duumvirs
Neither Starlight Glimmer nor Trixie Lulamoon is the kind of pony that the average Equestrian would have expected to lead this uprising, and yet they have risen to the call more than anypony else. They have sworn a solemn oath to restore Equestria, and the ELF has to put its trust in their sincerity.

Return of the Princess
Twilight Sparkle is the ordained successor of Celestia and Luna, this has been known for a long time. Now, in this age of strife, to have the Princess of Friendship back is a boon to Equestria like few others. Equestria isn't the same without its Alicorn rulers, and ponies are waiting with bated breath for the coronation.
|
|
|
A Noble Cause
A surprising figure from the past has shown up in Equestria recently. Prince Blueblood, former Field Marshal of the Equestrian Armed Forces, has contacted the ELF to offer his services. Some are hesitant to accept the offer, blaming the fall of Equestria on him, but Starlight and Trixie knows what it's like to make amends.

The Magic of Friendship
Even after all the horrors of war and the countless challenges faced by Equestria, it is still a nation where the bonds between creatures, be they family, friends or whatever else, are highly valued. The war has not changed it, instead it has only reinforced the need to keep those bonds alive.
|
|
|
Equestria Reclaimed
Our rebel army has done the impossible: It has reclaimed Equestria, driven the changelings back from whence they came and delivered Equestria from the darkness! Equestria stands and Equestria remembers what she is, now and forever!
|
|
|
Where was Honesty?
Applejack's whereabouts, at least, are known, but the news that she is held on charges of collaboration and using ponies as slave labour are beyond absurd. Princess Twilight's hooves are tied, but she has insisted on attending the trials, desperate to find out what is going on.
|
The following will happen when selecting the focus:
| |
Where was Generosity?
According to the official court statement, Rarity is held for collaboration with the Changelings. Apparently she was working alongside Suri Polomare, producing specialized uniforms for the Manehattan jägers. It is true that Rarity is a zealous fashionista, but this cannot be true, surely?
|
The following will happen when selecting the focus:
| |
Where was Kindness?
After the fall of Equestria Fluttershy vanished into the depths of the Everfree Forest. Ever since, even with repeated efforts, nopony has managed to find her. Princess Twilight has prepared herself to personally go into the forest and attempt to find her. Even if - Celestia forbid - she is no longer alive, then at least the matter will be put to rest.
|
|
The following will happen when selecting the focus:
|
Where was Laughter?
A letter has arrived from Rockville, asking for Princess Twilight to come. The terse message was very clear about asking that she arrived quietly. Since it concerns Pinkie Pie, the princess has no intention to not oblige.
|
|
The following will happen when selecting the focus:
|
Where was Loyalty?
Rainbow Dash has been missing ever since the fall of Equestria, and any attempts to find her have not met with success. Princess Twilight is awaiting news from the teams sent to investigate around Marechester, but for now, nothing has been found.
|
The following will happen when selecting the focus:
| |
Never Again
Equestria has bled and suffered; maybe more so than ever before in its history. The dead count not in hundreds, but hundreds of thousands, and the destruction and disarray caused by the last years have left deep scars in the nation. Yet the war is over, and now Equestria can begin the long process of recovery.
|
|
|
The Reconstruction
The damage done across Equestria is immense, and though single buildings or blocks may be quickly restored, it will take years to truly bring back the splendor of the nation. Yet, in this rebuilding there is hope, and there is a chance to build even bigger and better than before.
|
|
 Reconstruction Boom
Equestria lies in ruins, but if there is something ponies do well it is to build. Across Equestria, all citizens are coming together to restore their nation to its former glory.
|
The Agrarian Boom
With Equestria being as fertile as it is, much of the pre-war agriculture was surprisingly primitive. During the changeling occupation, however, most of the smaller farms were consolidated into large agricultural conglomerates. Time cannot really be turned back, but at least Equestria can make it right by those who lost their farms and homes, giving them a stake in these new giant farms.
|
|
|
Future of the Military
Even after all that has happened, few are seriously entertaining the notion that Equestria should become a fully militarized nation. Yet at the same time, it cannot go back to its old, peaceful ways. A balance needs to be struck here, and Equestria's approach to future wars must be realistic.
|
|
|
Future of the Peerage
One of the more sore points after the invasion is the Equestrian nobility, many of which collaborated with the changelings, and their position is now weak enough as Starlight Glimmer has pushed the idea of abolishing the institution fully.
|
|
|
The Manehattan Trials
While the trials against various collaborators has been an ongoing process, there are still several high profile cases left to deal with. These more notable collaborators have provoked immense ire, and with the situation stable enough in the nation, the trials can begin.
|
|
|
Question of the Market
In pre-war days, the local economies were afforded greater freedom than in most nations, but as with many things, we cannot go back to this. Equestria must have a single, unified philosophy regarding their economic approach, and both sides of the debate have rallied support.
|
|
|
Question of the E.C.H.A.
With the princess preoccupied by her duties, the role of Equestria's champions and heroes must pass to other ponies. It has been proposed to formalize this role, creating a special service that reports directly to the princess and parliament and which can work to carry on this legacy.
|
|
 E.C.H.A.
|
Peace in Our Time
Through countless trials and countless sorrows, we nevertheless prevailed. The road was long and it was bloody, but now we can look to the future again. Once more, the sun rises above a prosperous and peaceful Equestria, and though the scars will never truly go away, she has not lost who she is.
