If the four factional races of DUST fought each other in planet-spanning ground combat, which one do you think would eventually win it all, and what, if anything, is your favorite ice cream topping?

Haribo gummy bears- they're unnaturally chewy already, and when chilled and combined with the creamy deliciousness of icecream, it's truly special.
Based on my very minimal lore knowledge, Amarr, if they really tried, because bigger is better. |

The Gallante if I spelled it correctly. Freedom is better than religion, corporate greed, or any other form of enslavement.

Hmmmmmm......
Its all about them White Chocolate Chips and Walnuts man.
I would have to go with the Gallente. They'd just have to source some boundlesses from the Minnies to give to the Logi's that make up 99% of their army.
That One percent left over was the Scouts that they didn't know what to do with, so they just gave them some knives to play with.

Not the Minmatar. That is the easy one to figure out. They are too small and don't have any kind of technological advantage in order to minimize their disadvantages. From there, probably not the Caldari either. They would either get slaughtered by the far greater forces to the point that their technology doesn't matter much (technology is less important in a ground war overall) or they would just opt out of the fight; "we would rather sell all of you weapons than actually fight over territory."
When it comes there, you got the Federation versus the Empire. I think I give it to the Amarr; they aren't fighting for liberty or justice or anything like that. They are fighting for their God because their Empress is the Space Pope. Dunno, hard to tell. CCP has done a good job not making one of their races just far and away better than the rest. |

It's not in the interests of any faction to actually win these wars. Amarr would lose purpose as expansionism would cease. Cal gain more from conflict drives their profits, as well as ideology. The Gallante people would recognize the mess they are in if they did not have a distraction of enemies. Matari vengeance knows no end.
I like a marshmallow topping on most ice-cream, but it really depends on flavour. I like to experiment with my ice-cream.

Caldari, they're crafty, techy and every single citizen is combat ready through mandatory military training. The draw back is it would spread them so thin due to low overall population that uprisings would take place rather quickly and redivide the cluster.
I will agree with Joseph that CCP has made a good job of not placing a true winner in the four.

I typically take my ice cream without toppings, but I absolutely cannot resist hot fudge and a brownie fresh out of the oven served with ice cream.

Well...
It's hard to say...
Gallente is out of the question. We lack an official military for ground forces. All we have is the Federal Marines and that's relatively new I believe. While many are patriotic freedom lovers, it's a chance the majority of them will jump ship. However, Gallente people could take arms quickly if their morale was high, like any other people.
In the case that they the majority of those able would jump up for a battle, the Gallente stand a high chance of winning due to their intelligence methods and Black Eagles. Caldari could use their own intelligence methods but their desire for cost efficient everything could screw them.
Amarr would probably stand against all except the Gallente in space combat with who they would tie with, on ground it's something different, at least a little. The Amarr WILL have the number advantage. Gallente' militia is voluntary and low morale is a big possibility, Caldari aren't that big, and Minmatar are pretty small too. They might be slow but they will dominate if left unchecked. The Caldari's desire to save money will be their ruin since Amarr are extremely wealthy and willing to throw a lot. Gallente can stand with the Amarr with armor and their intelligence methods can put the Amarr in a bad spot but in a direct battle, it's rougher for Gallente. They'll have to rely on flanking and denying them area or face logistical trouble. Minmatar are the best at countering them. Amarr might be rich but Minmatar will take anything they can get and use it against them. Amarr are a relentless straight forward force but the Minmatar can use their guerrilla tactics to break that relentless force. Being "broke" doesn't mean a damn thing for them and more than likely the Minmatar can match the Amarr's fierce nature with savagery.
The Caldari are the most boned, I believe. Very strict and militaristic but their need to be cheap and cynical views will be an easy disadvantage. Patriotism for the State is high but they worry more about "if we can do it" more than "how can we do it." Their ranged weaponry gives them advantage against all races but put them in a situation that will most likely have a bad outcome and they probably won't deal.
The Minmatar. Fierce, mobile, hardened, paranoid, and brutal. Minmatar will thrive even if they officially lost their land. They have less members than a majority of the other races but have a fanaticism to match the Amarr. Their gear is top quality but it's usable. Their high mobility also means their quicker to respond. Direct combat is an issue for them but they'd only have to worry about the Amarr's masses and they know better than any other race how they work.
In the end, I'll say the Minmatar will win. They need minimum requirements and can strive in most conditions. Also will loot you set and use your gear against you.
Also my favorite topping is cookie crumbles. Specifically Oreos.

Minmatar would blow up some amarr armor but lose.
caldari would be even with the reduced amarr.
Gallente would gank and wipe out the the weakened caldari and amarr forces. |
