3) This is more personal... I liked the special type of units in Dark Eden 1ed sourcebook. This culd make
Eden forces more formidable and less depended on numbers, for example a bannerman/HMG combo in a soldat squad needs 8 of them, but adding the bannerman as a SPECIAL unit to a Vicar, u can have the 4 man + HMG squad and the bannerman through a Vicar etc
I quite liked some of these units in the old Dark Eden Book, the idea of the Vicar being able to have his own personal Bannerman displaying his colours I like and as you can have only 1 Vicar in an Army it wouldn't be to powerful.
I also liked some of the corporation units for Dark Eden some of these have made it into the book but I really liked some of the artwork for the others:
Brotherhood: Missionaries, & Seekers (I love this picture) Crucifiers (in UWZ), Watchmen (in UWZ)
Capitol: Wolverine, Antagons (look a bit like the northern sons with two Machine pistols)
Bauhaus: Ulfwerner, Recitor (in UWZ)
Imperial: Conquistadors, Fallen Angels
Cybertronic: Surveiler (in UWZ), 19th Silent (in UWZ)
Mishima: Jade Ghosts, Enigmas
Dark legion only Nassals didn't make it.
I expect some of these units might make an apperance in a later book for Dark Eden, I hope so as the artwork makes them look quite good as possible models.
But as far as the game is concerned I think they made a great job of the rules and I throughly enjoy playing in this background with these rules.
