>>43272306Could you do something with herbivores vs carnivores?
Maybe the 'druid council' or something elects to destroy all carnivores (because they cause pain) in what they see as an intensely destructive act that will nevertheless greatly reduce the amount of harm on the planet in the long term.
Of course, a segment of the council is appalled by this act, and after things spiral out of control, they end up declaring war on the anti-carnivori
Bonus points if the two factions are different, namely one side is larger and uses mostly herbivores and herbivore forms, grasping vines and treants, while the other is smaller but utilitises farm more destructive carnivore forms and destructive weather control. Though maybe the plants should be on the carnivores' side instead.
