How many factions?Ĩ-Bit Armies comes with our classic "retro" military factions the RENEGADES and the GUARDIANS, which most of you will find very familiar if you've played some of the classic RTS games that started the genre. We have no population cap in the game, so you can build as many units as you want. Most PvP games are 1v1 or 2v2, so selecting an 8 player map for one of these games will provide for a lot of open space and extra resources. Maps are sized according to the number of players the map supports, up to 8 players. The game will release with 10 maps, and more maps are planned for post-launch. How big are the maps?

Over time, "improvements" to RTS games meant adding complexity which greatly narrowed the audience. The art style reflects the straightforward gameplay mechanics we've incorporated that made original RTS titles so popular. We really enjoy the simple and clean look that a pixel-based art style gives the game.
