Might have been answered but I am newer. Why is there carbon in the game which I believe is wood. What is made of wood out of all the units? Isnt it all metal?

more balanced then in AOK. Really cant tell with just the 2 civs in the demo. Only thing I notice is that Rebels are a little bit faster in my opinion. I think they have were they carry more food or something, which helps a lot.

Okay, Im a science major, so i'll explain it technically. All lifeforms in this galaxy and in AGFFA are carbon-based (with the exception of mynocks, which are silicon-based) organisms. It is basecally found in every biological substance here on Earth. Carbon in its pure form is rocky and hard. One of the strongest materials one Earth is made from carbon: carbon honeycomb. It is likely that in a high tech society such as the GFFA that they have found new ways to implement it into mechs and troopers. There is also the possibility that they are using a matter tranformer, meaning they are adding individual protons to each atom therefore changing it. Of course they could collect anything and calll it food, carbon, nova or ore, if this was true. It is most likely the first theory. If you put your pointer over the carbon it mentions carbon deposits (which im guessing are like ore and nova deposits) and steam vents, so carbon doesn't necessarely mean it is wood.

I see now. So they can make weapons, armour, and stuff out of carbon. Thanks for pointing that out to us Rdog.
