Suggestion: Human Faction(DLC Content or Mod).

[FateWeaver]

Being very interested in robots and AI, and especially rogue AI scenarios, such as Terminator, it would be a dream come true for me if we could meet a surviving human faction in a DLC, or if a team of modders would take on the challenge to make one. Heck, it would be awesome to play as them too, struggling to keep the metal tide at bay. Struggling along with outdated technology(by our machine standards), but its human to struggle, and if we stop struggling annhilation awaits around the corner.

Anyone else interested in seeing a human faction added to the game?

What would be their playstyle? Something similar to Legion or what?

Sorry I don't know enough about the Legion faction to answer that.
I just wanted to get the idea out there and see if there was any interest for it, I didn't have any particular playstyle in mind when I wrote this thread.

Seeing as the robot factions have technologically evolved for a very very long time, and have more or less essentially assimillated and annhilated anything and everything they have come across, so naturally any surviving humans would be less technologically advanced in comparison. Especially when considering how quickly AI would be able to research new technologies and prototype them, compared to us limited fleshlings.
I want the humans to use more covert and flexible tactics, to emphasise human adaptability and use of guerilla warfare. Sorta a David vs Goliath matchup.
As I am very much a fan of the Terminator series, and always wanted to see the future machine war fully realised in a game, this would be a dream come true to me.

It would be a lot fun to see lots of little human soldiers running around, getting blown to bits. Supported by aging technologies(by robot overlord standards). The humans would probably think their technology is top of the line, cutting edge stuff though.

Something of a spoiler alert, but I planned to have my fate-twisted faction be comprised of what remained of the progenitors, too - though it includes a varied mix of alien races, not just one. Perhaps we should collaborate.
