PA could have factions.

Let's stick to a concrete analogy. If you think a TvT game in Starcraft has "no strategy" you're fooling yourself, and that's with a micro-focused game with a much smaller list of units than PA will have.

I hate StarCrafts (SCs) because there is too much microstrategy, and not enough macro.

This it simply not true. Even if there was only one single unit type in the game, you would still need to play strategically. Eventually particularly then.

Yeah, Frankly I'm not even sure he actually understood the point I was making.

I'm not even sure what point the OP is making, the only time you'd both be building the same units is if you start out with the same strategy, but the beauty about always having all the units available is that you aren't hemmed in, you can always change to any strategy to take the advantage .

I get this feeling the OP thinks there will be only 1 tank, 1 bot ect ect which isn't only false, it's also based on nothing, It doesn't matter if theres 3 Attack Tanks, so long as you design them that they carry out their Role Differently they'll all have uses, I mean, the Aeon Obsidian and Blaze are the perfect case studies, they're both attack tanks but how they go about BEING Attack tanks is different and thus they have different uses.

Like in War Zone or SuperSwiv. It would be more like diablo hack'n slash. Diablo even had more strategy, but it was not an RTS.

dude...

OK lets see hot it works. Maybe you are right. Lets wait for demo.

Exactly I don't think that. SupCom 2 was like that. There was only one kind of jet or bomber on UEF side. It pretty much had no units to choose. I don't think PA is going to have poor choice of units. If it had, it would be a disaster almost like SupCom 2. SupCom showed the way developers should go. SupCom 2 showed the way they shouldn't go.

PA could have factions, but it won't, because it's not necessary.

The former is the case. Either you or me and/or everyone else misinterpreted your poll options ( viewtopic.php?p=554589#p554589 ).

i think there will be enough modders that might start creating factions. But I would say, if so, they should just focus on "special units" like experimentals or something. The baseline units should be the same.
