Ghana was a French Hardcore Factions faction on HCTeams, founded and led by Larkyo. It started on Map 8 and ran across four maps, taking its name and logo from the Ghanaian flag in line with the country-naming convention common among French rosters of the period.
It was one of the first French power factions, and the first to set itself up in direct opposition to Congo.
This article is a stub. Rosters, Citadel results and map placings still need to be added, ideally with VODs, screenshots or recap threads as sources.
History
Ghana formed on Map 8 under Larkyo and played four maps in total: 8, 9, 12 and 17.
Needs: how the faction placed on each map, when it disbanded, and what it achieved beyond Map 12.
=== Map 12 ===Ghana's strongest run came on Map 12, where it was competitive for much of the map before being sent raidable by WolfGang.
Map 12 is one of the better-documented maps on this wiki. NoLimit took Citadels 1 and 2 and Aloha took Citadel 3, and Larkyo is separately recorded with a Citadel that map.
Leadership
Relations
Rivalry with Congo
Ghana was the first French faction to position itself as a rival to Congo. Both used African country names, and the pairing became one of the defining matchups of the early French scene.
Needs: which maps the two met on, and how the rivalry played out.
Ties with Namibia
Ghana had close ties with Namibia, led by Staithinq, who also served as a captain in Ghana. Larkyo appears on both rosters, as a leader of Ghana and a captain of Namibia.
Whether the two operated as separate rosters, as a successor arrangement, or as something closer to allied factions is not yet established. Note that allying was restricted or banned outright on most competitive rulesets; see Rules and punishments.
