There is nothing wrong with having another faction it will just need enough community support behind it... If they can get the models and every thing done then i see no reason why there cant be another faction at all...

I have family who live in South Africa, So i think go for it see how many people would be willing to support your idea...

The AU are a great idea.

Far from dropped, mate, just only really updating in the CON forums :P

I wouldnt mind somebody doing this for me, but my Somalia faction would need to be more like an insurgent concept. But I guess once you got the models you could simply change the weapons and have a modern army variant and an insurgent/militia type variant.

Would be nice, Im not gonna lie

-I think it would be easier and more realistic to focus on countries other than South Africa as they would be more numerous. As it is, African armies have a large amount of either Russian or American weaponry which would make it easier to introduce as there'd be a lot less models to produce.

Military of Ethiopia
Military of Ghana
Military of Egypt

-Something like the African Unions Peacekeepers uniforms should probably be used:




Main Weapon: AKM
Support Weapon: PKM
AT: RPG and MILAN
Main Battle Tank: T72
APC: M-113/M113 EIFV
Don't know what Light Vehicles they should have, they have everything from Jeep CJ7 to Humvees.
AA: Stinger/SA-7
AAV: Tunguska
Carbine: Don't know, some armies have the M4.
Jets: Mig (23 perhaps?) or Mirage 5
Transport Helo: Mi-8
Attack Helo: Mil of some kind
Scout Helo: Gazelle

-Can't think of anything else right now.

I agree. Ethiopian military would be really cool to see. They're a huge US ally, and border Sudan (which would most likely be included in the Middle Eastern Coalition) to the north. Only problem is that they have their own native language(Amharic), I'd imagine finding a voice actor for this would be near impossible.

ooooooooooooooo!

What teams are going to be on it?

Any sneaky peakys?

I don't think there is any point in using a faction that has weapons and vehicles that are already used. Isn't the point of a new faction for more flavour? I like the original posts idea, lots of cool new toys.

Not to derail, but I guess its somewhat relevant:

Those are the most up to date publicly released pictures. In that same thread there are quite a few pictures BUT they are VERY old and dont do the map any justice at all Seriously. There's new textures, more city, more terrain variation, everything[got a lot of help from some amazing DEV's: IronTaxi and Rhino mainly]. It's actually getting to the point where I am happy with it... happy enough for my first map at least

Wow they are pretty advanced, I diddn't expect them to have all that. That rifle looks pretty cool too.

When I opened the thread, I was expecting something like one of those movies you see about current day Africa. I think it would be cool to have them in the game.

LMAO, box tanks!!!

I like the idea. The armies of modern Africa is tragically enough not represented in many games at all.

But what language would they be speaking? I would like it if they spoke some native African language (swahili?) instead of the language of one of the old colonial powers. Just to give them some kind of unique African "feel".
