FAQ

Which faction is best for beginners?

Humans are the best starting faction — their balanced roster means you can recover from mistakes and adapt to any campaign situation without being hard-countered.

Can I switch factions mid-campaign?

Faction choice is made at the start of a campaign run. You cannot switch mid-run, but each new campaign offers the opportunity to try a different faction.
