I wonder if that deluxe hero is hinting at Vaulters being one of the unrevealed factions.

Either Vaulters or United Empire I think.

But the Devs loves the Vaulters though I dont know which of them I would like more actually. Vaulters had their showtime already(EL) but UE is well yeah the generic evil human empire.

(Though on the otherside I dam loved the gameplay of the UE in Endless Space One)

This is great news!

How many main factions are supposed to be in after the EA, when the dust settles? ;)

If you look back to Endless Legend, the Vaulters had an alternate skin, the Mezari - so I think you'll find they'll have a second Cravers faction called 'Prime' or something else badass.

Alternatively, it might just affect the Custom Factions - it was hinted at that we can again choose our Custom Factions' appearance (Missed that feature in EL), though I'm not sure if this is true or not, it may have simply been misspoken. Having watched MasterOfRoflness' videos on ES2, I'm sceptical of a Vodyani Custom Faction with, say, Sophon's appearance - what about the Ark? Will it still be Vodyani? A sleek new Sophons design? Or will it be invisible?

Going away for the weekend, still deciding whether to put bootcamp on my laptop also. If it's as good as it looks, I probably will.

8 total. The Unfallen (who will likely be last as they're the contest faction) and 3 unknowns.

16 total minor factions (of which six are complete) as well.

And I'm thinking vaulters just because of the helmet symbol.

I need this feature in ES 2.

I JUST NEED IT

It makes the creation of custom factions so much more fun. I want for example to create a bloodthirsty Unfallen race which burns flesh aliens and chop them with axes.

Interesting to see that you actually decided to give the Cravers a special skin for the founders/digital deluxe edition. From the 2 iconic races of ES1 which are in the game so far you went for the Cravers. Good choice in my opinion. The Cravers are starting to become a staple in this universe. And to be fair a new skin for the Sophons would look kind of boring given their clean and plastic design. Nothing to really work with. The Cravers skin looks really good though!

I think I am going with the Digital Deluxe Edition. Oh and than there is the Tempest add on for EL.... Sorry CIV6 you will have to wait.

The re-skin looks similar to the ships shown in the Cravers intro. My guess is that they will be doing something similar to the Mezzari and have the Prime cravers as another possible faction for those that unlock it.
