Faction Reveal: The Xol!

Big news, commanders! You’re already acquainted with the Protectorate and the Grell, but we’re ready to unveil the third faction in ZeroSpace. Meet the Xol.

For the full scoop, head over to our friends at Team Liquid, where we’ve authored an article with a ton of in-depth info on the Xol, including lore, gameplay, theory, unit design, and more!

Here’s our design consultant, Grant, with the lowdown in video form:

Lore background:"The Xol started as an advanced general “AI”, created for the purpose of serving their Masters, who eventually abandoned them. Often misunderstood as villainous beings, they have been on a long quest of self-discovery, starting by embodying their once trapped minds into the physical realm, allowing them to learn through experience and pursue their new found ambitions."

Gameplay overview:"The Xol take to embodiment through polymeric-metals, and this malleability gives them the ability to merge with one another into completely different units to increase their power level and strategically changing their identity and utility.

This flexibility makes the Xol in ZeroSpace a highly adaptable faction. With just a small pool of base units, they’ll be able to create complex and specialized armies in turn. Tentatively, Xol units will also have the ability to 'split' and assume their former identities when tactically called for."

We’ve got 7 days left in our Kickstarter, and we’re not done revealing more details about ZeroSpace, (including another playable faction reveal!) — be sure to spread the news far and wide!
