The Republic (The Clash)

The Republic is one of the factions in The Clash.

Gameplay
The Republic's gameplay is similar to that of most RTS and FPS games. Players build a base than can move from place to place when the player desires.

The Republic has generally a balanced land, sea, and air force, as well as the largest buildable space force.

Each Republic unit can be commanded individually, or can be commanded in battlegroups by the player. In contrast to the Order however, due to the in-lore technological advantage of the Republic over the Order, the Republic is not dependent on officer-type units to command the abilities of battlegroups, allowing more freedom for the player to directly command the units.

Each unit can also be adjusted to be directly controlled by the player in a first-person or a third-person perspective. In vehicles with more than one weapon, the switch weapon control can be used to cycle on-board weapons.

Once the Republic player starts Tier 5, they get access to the Strategic Command Base, which houses 4 protocols(similar to the USA's Strategy Center) that allow them to adapt to any type of enemy, be it themselves, the Order, or any of the upcoming DLC factions.
