Teams and Clans

I was wondering exactly how teams were going to work in combonation with races. Will all Orcs be on one team, or will there be a combonation? If so, am I to assume that all races are statistically alike aside from their appearance?

Also, will there be any integration into the game for clans/squads/etc? It seems like I remember some mention of a script, but I don't remember where, if at all at this board.

I hope to see some team integration in the next update, as I've been trying some things with my maps that would work well with teams and objectives. Good work so far though, although the crossbow gets on my nerves, as it takes forever for someone to kill someone else. Hopefully a longbow will come along soon that has no blast radius but almost a "sniper rifle" type of range and speed. But anyway... I'm ranting again.

Hey
well you just also have to think about a team integration of not only 2 teams on one map. It would be gread if you can choose from more than 2 teams e.g 4 teams. That would make the game more different to other games i had ever play and that would be also a thing what were never before published, i think so.
Please think about this.

Four teams has been done in a bunch of games. Most all games I played with more than 2 teams ended up decaying to the level of chaos.

Two teams is easy to play with (you're either on my team, or the enemy. No confusion) and won't spread players too thin. Like they might with a 4 team game and 20 people (5 people per team is a small team)

Dynamix's games were fond of multi-team play. Starsiege and tribes had it all the time. It was quite fun, even if you have a few guys on your team. If teams got too uneven - you could just switch to one of the more populated teams. Its a good idea.
