(sorry for the youtube link but Steam had problems with uploading the video... F****!!!!)

You can see here the character customization, where you'll be able to define your own units, rebels or police.
You can discover the system we use to create every single character on the screen: starting from the naked man, adding layer for dresses and equipment, till the result of having the complete character.

For the end of next week you will put your hands on it!
