At first they offered money, then trades and partnerships. However, as Viletech and those like them kept getting nos from the small communities, the niceties fell away and the tone and tenner became more cold. More hostile. Of course, the companies can't, say, march an army into a small community and take. That would be just ridiculous. No, I’m sure that these grand companies will do their best to find more, cunning approaches to get what they want.
