However, it is now up to BGA, so we will see if they have more requirements before public alpha.

Fantastic news, man! Congratulations, kudos and all other praises words out there! Now the real waiting begins....

Which factions will be available at first?

It is probably the six factions that the board game sugests for your first play:

The Xxcha Kingdom
The Federation of Sol
The Emirates of Hacan
The Barony of Letnev
The Sardakk N'orr
The Universities of Jol-nar

Well done on the Alpha Launch!

Hooray! Thank you very much!! I haven't encountered a bug yet but those two links don't work for me.

You can only see them once you join the alpha.

I tried to host a game for 6 players, but there is a pop-up saying "You have reached a limit (invite_alpha)". What's going on?

Alpha group members are only allowed to invite a certain number of players each day. Off the top of my head I think it's 5 total?

It will reset tomorrow and you can invite the rest. If there is only 1 missing player, just PM me the username directly so I can add them.
