Perhaps you need to invent a different machine that makes walking faster?

Viable! And philosophically interesting.

Absolutely incredible

The pettier, and more inconsequential the better! Some could be so anti-centralization they bawk at the idea of building a single latrine in camp, insisting that such a facility would impose an unjustified level of violence upon the bowels of an individual free Grot.

Ahh I get you. Heterodoxy! You could go deep and identify battalions by some specific political ethos and roll every turn to see if they're expelled from the commune.

Animosity in the Wargaming sense? I think it can. The Anarchist/Communist relationship in Ukraine 100 years ago would be a prime example as both armis joined forces to fight off the White Russians. But when the fighting started the Red Army held back and refused to participate. Must have rolled a 1.
