Up to the character. The players in the units would control the unit from an OOC standpoint. But if they want to just be another soldier in the fray IC, that's fine.
Quote:Would they, if they controlled them, get to select various ones with a set end total? Like "You get 100 soldiers, pick which kind and how many of each." Or somesuch?
Still deciding. I don't want to make things too uneven (which it could be if one army ends up with like, all infantry and no defense against ki), but I also don't want to give someone something they don't want.

It'll be like DA. It's a competition, except this time it's army based. Syntech will organize it, put everybody who signs up on the battlefield location, and let them go at it. The army that either eliminates all the opposition AND takes all the points on the map wins.
There can be betrayal, mutiny, and even people trying to make their own armies. It's gonna be as open-ended as I can allow without giving too much room for it to be ridiculous.
One of the bigger problems of Single player DA was not putting a limit on alliances. I'll probably put a maximum number on units, but will allow joint attacks and the like
