Factions

Not sure how many factions yall are looking at having but I'd suggest at least 3.



Might be cool to have a noble, clean, and righteous looking faction who are either ridiculously armored visually and stat-wise, or technologically superior to the other factions. With steam powered war machines and such, but not the junkyard style ones that most games go with.



A magically adept faction would of course be a given. But maybe with a twist like they are excellent in close combat as well with swords and shields and the like.



An aquatic faction would just finish things off for uniqueness. If most maps have water somewhere on them, this faction would prefer to run to the lakes and oceans to start building their massive ships and such. If they aren't humans then they could use water pool stations to refill their land units with "fuel" or water.



Mystical beasts could easily come in under any of these or they could be neutral creatures that are summoned from certain control points and such.|||I believe that the Press Release said there would by three factions.



I'd like to see a Magical base faction as well as a Steampunk faction.|||I like th aquatic faction idear. you could have them be able to make beautiful buildings on or under the water.|||i think a Steampunk faction would be awesome, then something along the lines of a traditional medieval like faction(maybe have some type of steam tech and magic?) and then a faction that excels in magic, maybe with some units that excel in using magic for close range, other long range? i dunno, but a steampunk like faction would just be awesome, plus everyone is a human(oid) no orcs or elvs or **** like that plz, if you gonna make a weird lookin race, make it something unique, maybe like that aqua faction or something|||I would just hope they don't follow the traditional steampunk design of junkyard parts thrown together to make a steam engine. I mean this faction could the more similar to elves with their elegant structures and method of war.|||The only issue is that if we go with those three, it would basically be SupCom...



Steampunk (Cybran)

Medieval (UEF)

Magic (Aeon)|||I was actually thinking of the magic race being more medieval than any of the other races.



And the steampunk race to be more along the lines of Aeon.|||Sorry that was actually to Hawkeye's statement (I hadn't seen yours yet)



I actually like your idea, that could make for an interesting twist on normal steampunk.|||lol i never thought of it like that, but your right. lawl|||Gatta try to break out of the norm |||meh



i would've liked factionless though. Factionless with a lot of cool choices like: 'oi i worship this god of death, look as he makes every single unit of mine respawn ,when they die, at this tomb as ghosts' how's your god?`

'well he's coping i guess, lightningbolt in the face



look i chose this kind of building arcitecture, with spikes! yikes not so fancy on beating on me houses now ehh... well my houses is pretty this gives all my soldiers a beauty bonus, which make them gain extra interest when attaining catwalks



though ofcourse this can be in a faction game aswell|||Vimes is random|||Sounds kind of like a bigger form of the SupCom2 upgrade system. Which does sound pretty cool.|||regabond|||sword of the stars? never played it|||factionless is good. simply because every game we play has us choosing a faction.



but i imagine this game will be modelled after supcom2 = choose one of the three kings. each king has it's own unique benefits, own unique castle, own unique army, own unique abilities.|||katzenkrimis
