I would like to suggest to rename "force" to "faction" all over the place.

why?
many people tend to think "force" means "-f", "just do it anyway".

I have seen that in some scripting discussions where people tried to place an entity, using "force=true" and seem to think the game will just remove all obstructing entities or allow placement on water.

Why not "team"?

Yes, I think that the word "faction" or "team" would be better than "force".

However, I believe that this topic should rather be discussed in the "Modding Interface Requests" sub-forum, instead of the general "Ideas and Suggestions" sub-forum.
