    Can someone link to this magical concept alpha? I keep hearing about him but don't recall seeing it.

    Yah, Loki, I know. I was just taking issue with "real" being a fairly subjective term. :) Concept != real. I like the concept, I like the in game model, they are quite different from each other. But calling one real is a pretty subjective point of view.

    Agreed. I'm just trying to clarify for Quitch.;)

    You do realize that in order to get those 102 commanders people had to pledge at least 1000$ in the Original Kickstarter.

    Also there are currently only 6 KNOWN commanders with 4 having various levels of known exclusivity at this time.

    but, ppls who paid over 1000 dollars get 102 commander while the rest gets 6-7? i really don't see the logic here….wont they have a huge advantage to choose the commander that suits them best while we just get a few handful…will this game feature micro transaction????? it is a really bad idea

    There are 102 people who paid enough to get a unique commander that only they can use.

    There won't be 102 commanders that they can choose among, they each get only one that only they can use for 102 unique to only them commanders in total. Each person gets only one commander and there are 102 people who each get their own unique commander that only they can use.

    So each individual would have 7-8 different commanders they can choose from(including their own unique commander), using current amounts of available commanders.

    102 people get a unique custom commander. These people only get one custom commander each. Only if they pledged 1000 dollars or more. Here's a quote from the kickstarter campaign.

    my emphasis

    None of the commanders will give anybody any advantage and the game is not paid to win.:);)

    There are, approximately, 92 to 95 custom commanders from the Kickstarter at last count. Each commander gets five (or six?) keys for the person who commissioned it, but they don't get access to the other 91-ish commanders.

    On top of that, there are another 6 to 10 that are a mix of the specialty commanders (Alpha, Delta, Progenitor and Theta), and others still TBA.

    People have already stated this, just wanted to provide very clear information on it.

    What do you mean keys? =0

    Like, they can give out to give other people access to that commander?

    From the text in our Kickstarter:

    • Custom in-game commander designed for you, usable by you and your friends (5 keys)

    Gonna be cool seeing all the 100 random commanders but sad at the same time since the rest of us won't get to use them..so far if you have beta you only will get access to theta, quad, raptor? No delta, alpha,progentor etc for us?
