The development team for Endwar have answered two more questions for our Community Q&A!

If you have missed the other questions you can find them here on the Endwar Forums.

When will a side be defeated? When their capitol is taken, or when they have been completely eliminated from the map? And what will players be able to do between the time their side is eliminated and when one of the other two sides achieves victory?
No side is eliminated until one side acheives victory. To win you have to capture all the capitals and hold over 60% of the map. If a side is eliminated they can always try and relaunch themselves into the war via insurgencies in their faction capital.

Will we be able to switch between being a single soldier commanding a squad on the battle field like in Ghost Recon and Rainbow 6 to being a commander of the entire force. This would allow the player to not only command the war and tell units what to do but could also fight on the front lines and help determine the outcome of the battle.
You are a General, not a soldier, so you are giving orders rather than pulling the trigger. However you can directly control a Platoon of 4 fire teams or a Company of 4 armored vehicles. In this case the controls are just like a third person game like GRAW, the left stick moves the unit.
