Oh,Oh,Oh,... it is not true :p
Simply being overwhelmed by those incoming mails, look at these threads,
be honest, I don`t have any idea where to start with when my mail client
says "you have 31 unread mails, downloading now ..."

And still, I don`t have any idea what I should say...

Only an idea, keeping room for some independent factions is good, I
agree, if there is no small factions, then it would be only battles
between two or three major organizations, and if there is any small
faction, there maybe could be a weapon that only a clan have at the
start, and after the player has completed a mission taking over the
technology or making an items exchange could the weapon be used(built)
in later mission. Should be good for introducing a new unit I suppose.
