I've discovered Mental Omega since 2008 and played it til now. Sad to hear that the 3.3.1 update marks the end of my favorite mod. But what about the possible fifth side featuring alien/mutant creature? Maybe after the destruction of Yuri's Epsilon, a new thread will arise as they are Yuri's secret experiments!

[Zharakov]

It would take another 3 years to do that..

[Solais]

3.3.1 is not the final update.

They do already exist.

I personally do not think that there should be a 5th faction because this would deviate too much from the original lore. If devs are really planning a 5th faction, I think this should be a different game using RA2 engine. That said, I am not totally against it.

[Speeder]

Hell.

[Solais]

I'm personally waiting for the 6th faction.

For the 5th faction, to save on time and resources, it should be composed of all the campaign only units and animals.

[Mikołaj Ciesiński]

Four factions is good, and I think it should stay that way. There is too much working on that and by the way - the hell guys? Fourth faction has been recently added to the game, just wait for it to be fleshed out.

Even Mental Omega is mentioned in the Page. Having up to 5 or more further makes designing sides more complicated or having to water the game down in some cases. Case in point with Age of Empires 2 HD which as of the recent DLC puts them at 31 Civilizations.

Foehn stole Chaos Control and Genetic Mutator from the Epsilon.

 

What will the 5th side steal?

 

 

Hell.

If 5th side is Hell, the the 6th must be Made in Heaven. 

[Solais]

Inb4 Giant Ants.

I consider myself as the 5th and 6th Faction

[umbracatervae]

Based on Faction Calculus theory, 5th factions is a horde of aliens/cyborgs/whatever.

 

Anyway:

Just wait patiently, possibly for years

[Solais]

But what is Reptoir anyways.

[lovalmidas]

Conflux.

I would rather have a new engine than a new faction actually. For example, OpenRA does offer much more versatile mission scripting after all (but they are not newbie-friendly). :V

[Solais]

Hey, I'm all about having fairies as the starting infantry. :V

 

(I you mean THAT Conflux. From HoMM3.)

Well for that part, this mod may count :v

There will probably be no 5th faction because it would be a shame for the lore. My thought about the lore is that act 2 will be an end for the allies and the soviets with the Mental Omega Device activated in the last epsilon mission Babel. Revolt expected a victory for Yuri so they have decided to escape from the radius of the Device (Alaska the Last Bastion base) and set up a new army to defeat the Yuri in act 3. Ah btw the true enemy is the Yuri which was about his plans in act 1 and the developers havent updated the lore of the Foehn Revolt since act 2 was released so Yuri is still acting in the shadow. )

[MasterLeaf1]

Personally i don't want developers to waste time and resources to creating 5th faction. Instead they could finish final missions for act2 faster and after a while they could start on Act 3..
