8BitArmies: Hey Splatsch!
Sorry we've been a bit wishy-washy on that subject. We're not even certain ourselves yet, because it depends on the success of the game launch, and the amount of content we would be creating for a second faction.
If it's just a faction, we might just give it out for free to beef up (even more) the core content of the original game. If the campaign is getting heavily played and we feel that people are anxious for more content (more maps, a full campaign, etc.) then we may make it an add-on and give people that own the core game a discount.
For now, we're focused on showing everyone how fast we can react to requests in the forums for some minor improvements and bug fixes. Once we get past the next week we'll know better where we stand.
Thanks for asking, and supporting the game! We really appreciate it. :)

Hey, thanks for the answer !
I took my time for mine, because I followed closely everything that happened in the forums concerning your game : I wanted to see more how you'll handle the launch.
And for what I see, it's really nice. The game looked really cool, and your implication in the forums (and especially here on GOG) is really, really appreciated. If you keep up this way, the game will be awesome (only one fast suggestion : don't loose your "idea" of the game because of all the suggestions of players ;)). I finally ended up buying it, with the soundtrack. It was an hard decision (don't have a lot of money). But... I want to support you (and Franck, I really love his work, which is, as usual, awesome :D). You seems to do your best to support players (I believe you when you say you'll do your best to release the more content possible in free updates), so, I think it's fair to try to trust you and your game. I only hope I'm not mistaken and that you won't do "DLC crap". Doing expansion(s) for me isn't a problem, as long as the base game is complete, and that an expansion is really worth the money (and expands the game). What I really don't like are DLC : when a game is sold part by part. I wish and hope you won't follow this way ;)
But I understand your words and uncertainty. I hope you'll have enough success to publish a lot more content for free ! Everybody will be happier (you included) :D
Well, I'll do another feedback thread to talk about how I feel about the game ;) I already played it a little... That's really fun !!
Only
one important notice who is a real "problem" for me right now : victory/defeat music are at a different level of the ingame music (when you're playing) : it's louder, and ingame musics are a lot lower (I putted "music" at max level in audio options). This is really not nice because I have to rise a little sound of my speakers when I play to really enjoy the music, and when I win/lose, victory music play a lot louder in comparison (and I'm surprised nobody else raised this problem)(or maybe it's only me, in which case, is there a solution ? Oo).
And : how to change your commander name ?? I'm commander "Invalid", that's not... the funniest commander name I know XD
By the way, I'm playing RTS only in single player, so campaign, map editor/generator are very important for me :) I appreciate that you have in mind people like me.
And again, I personally appreciate that you come here, take the time to read our questions and feedbacks, take them in account and answer us (with honesty, like concerning the upcoming factions question). That's one of the reasons I bought your game.
Hope your first selling week is going well :)
Edit : concerning sound/music volume... is it me or is the general sound volume of the game low ? (except this win/lose music)
