Hey guys, I hope you like exclusive Confederate building previews.

Seem familiar? They're supposed to.
On to the questions!

What do you have in mind for the Empire and the "enigmatic electrical protectorate"? What is the electrical protectorate? Also, would be willing to add tesla tanks to the soviets?
For the Empire, we're adding tons of new mecha, a new moving building (Tatsu's Incredible Floating Fortress) that serves as a landing pad for their new dedicated Air units, and a few new units of every other type (like my favourite, the Nanofold Tank, which draws ammo from enemies like the Hammer Tank Leech Beam to launch exploding paper crane drones).
For the Electrical Protectorate, we're very much keeping them under wraps, but there's a
hint thread on the forums that you can check out. They've got some huge reveals storywise that we're unfortunately gonna have to save for the Campaign release, but it'll hopefully be worth the wait.
As for tesla tanks... well, there isn't really an un-filled niche for them. They're basically more powerful hammer tanks. I'm not sure if the Soviet list is finalized, but I'm also not sure tesla tanks are necessary except as a bit of fanservice. Luckily, Tesla Troopers are now kind of LIKE tanks...
Oh, but we do have the Perun Tank Destroyer, which fires tesla canisters.

Old school units and an interesting storyline: They wanted to seperate USA from Allied.
So in a way they're assuming that all Americans are a bunch of rednecks? Not the most flattering connotation.
Not at all. We're mostly playing on the Civil War, where the Confederates WERE from the south. Plus, RA3 hasn't exactly been shy about the stereotypes as it is, has it? I would fully expect a Canadian army to be full of beavers and igloos.
