Since there are 4 "factions" if they do add bigger maps for more players, the no team option will allow them to play free for all matches.
They could specifically add variations on the game type in the server list, so that instead of just Multiplayer Campaign, it could be "Campaign - 2v2" or "Campaign - FFA", but if those are added, I'm not sure what's stopping you from playing FFA now. It's even possible to play 3v1.
Maybe in the future if there's enough demand, Larian could add in an 8-player mode.
My problem isn't with the units already in, nor with the effects and abilities they have it's with the fact that all of them are machines. Sure its fine that there are so many machines, since it's part of the story, but why is everything a machine? I mean weren't there any infantry in that age?
I already answered that. I think somewhere they said they thought about adding in infantry, but the scale of the units was such that infantry were too small to see. Infantry aren't in because of gameplay reasons.
Did every single soldier have a tank? That sure would ruin the economy. Not to mention it would use up a lot of manpower to build all those tanks. (no offense intended by this).
Three Troopers cost 3 Campaign Map gold to build. It's pretty clear that when a country says it has an economy worth 2 gold, it's not literally 2 gold pieces. It's probably something like 2000 gold.
Using up manpower? What do you think all those Recruits you spend to build factories and units are? Those are literally the people it takes to build, pilot, and maintain those units
No, it's not a completely perfect representation, but it's good enough for gameplay.
