I cannot find any sign that the game will have factions, will it include factions? How many factions will it include? Isn't a December launch too soon? I thought RTS games take years to develop?
1 unit set, multiple Factions (Commanders). And I believe they have been working on PA for some time.
Only one faction, although you can pick from a multitude of commanders. They'll all have the same units and such, but the commander itself will have different abilities and stats. EDIT: What he said.
We're kinda shocked too. And so are developers. But yes, this game is being made at a fascinating pace. It depends on what do you mean by "faction". If you mean "set of buildings and units", then only one. Everyone uses the same stuff, like in chess. If you mean faction as part of the story, side in the conflict with it's own interests, then there will be many. Practically every commander type is a faction.
If your talking about "tech-factions" (as in different units) then no, but off course there will be more then one "faction".
Having only one (big) set of units and buildings radically reduces the time needed for balance, sounds, desing and artwork which is awesome in my opinion. And people will make great faction mods anyway sooner or later.
