How do you change an area's ruling faction?

[PhamTrinli]

In the hints, when capturing a water tower it says that you can assign a faction to an area using the area's "FACILITY" (in yellow bold letters) - where is this facility and how do you use it??

pretty sure you cannot change the faction in control. what the hints are refering to is once you capture an electrical station or water tower you get to choose wich faction that get control. windmills change appearance and offer diffrent quests based on who's in charge of the zone.

Does it have any impact in terms of the storyline? because I chose to go back to the PK's instead of running into the building for sophie where they wanted me to get the watertower for them, then when I finally got the choice I gave it to the survivors and was expecting some sort of angry call or something or is it more for side quests and just perks?

yes, the main story change a bit, what is cool for replays.
also there are diiferent sidequests in those groups, and even the city changes. not like techlands wanted once, but even.

Looks to me like cut content but they forgot to remove the flavor text to do with it..

If you want the crossbow you have to give 4 locations to PK. Water towers or electrical substations. Windmills don't count as reward levels.

the "FACILITY" IS the watertower or substation
