In regards to teams and capturing settlements, how exactly will this open world system work across multiple servers? Is it just that it will always be UK vs. France? So the aspect of multiple factions and unique groups from PW/PF wont be in this?
Expanding on that, how will classes work, if not like PW/PF? Will players get to choose different pieces of equipment similarly to Native/PW, or like cRPG, or will it be similar to NW's pre-built classes? Will the classes be evenly balanced on both sides, with units being mirrored (not necessarily aesthetically, but in stats and equipment)? Or will there be a more rock/paper/scissors type class system, similar to the pikemen/musketment/cavalry stereotype?
Very interesting goals in this, it'll be great to see it completed.
