There are six Factions in Holdfast:
- Britain (The United Kingdom)
- France (l'Empire Français)
- Prussia (Königreich Preußen)
- Russia (Rossiyskaya imperiya)
- Italy (Regno d'Italia)
- Austria (Kaiserreich Österreich)
And two factions in the free DLC Holdfast: Frontlines WW1:
- Central (Central Powers)
- Allied (Entente Powers)
All factions are equally balanced with no specific advantages. Britain has a unique unit, the Bagpiper which functions the same as other musicians.
Choosing a Faction[]
Players select a faction when joining a game. Server admins can set up a fight between any two factions regardless of historical coalitions. The balance threshold is currently 15 players.
Prussian Flag[]
The Prussian faction was released on 21st June 2018. Even after the years, it still uses the wrong late flag from the years 1892-1918 when Prussia was a member of the federal, German Empire. The best substitute would most likely be the flag variant with a smaller crown adopted in 1803. The background behind the chosen soldier in the top left corner of UI would use the civil flag as a bicolour to avoid a blank white background.
