Add a moral/philosophical conflict at the core of it.

Make the combat endlessly interesting and varied.
>>
>>44355921
By having them exhaust the resources of a galaxy in their struggle for domination. Having each side battered beyond repair the scattered remnants of their armies battling on ravaged planets. Their hatred fueled by 4000 years of total war. Ensuring its a battle to the death for each side the only acceptable outcome the complete and utter elimination of the other.

I think that would work..

Not even a joke.

Hell, I think the creator was confused as to how in the FUCK people thought the ARM was the good guys, and eventually just put it down to "It's because they are Blue."

Because the ARM were fighting for freedom?

Make them sexy.

>>44355921
Discuss the strategies and tactics of their controllers, the effect the conflict has on those caught in the middle, the reasons behind the berserker swarms engagement etc.
>>
>>44355921

Have a plucky human be the protagonist who gets caught up in all of it and ends up learning something about himself in the process.

Humans cannot stand to read stories that aren't about humans or involve humans.

>Implying that either side was good or evil
I thought the point that neither was right or wrong, they just hated each other on a fundamental level due to a philosophical disagreement.
>>
>>44358451
Didn't it pretty much boil down to;

CORE - Transferred living consciousness to computers, copied itself to limitless manufactured war machines

ARM - Cloned living armies to command its war machines
>>
>>44360822
'living' got down to a few bits of brain and spinal column pretty quickly, and being speed-built via nanomachines, it's hard to argue that they were not as much a machine as the CORE.

Set it all to Yakkety Sax
