I think Alleg is doing a pretty good job differentiating the factions as is. If your factions are very different, I'd say the upper limit on factions is four, based on my experiences with Warcraft 3. Actually, that was a bit crazy, three factions are probably better.

Warcraft 3 isnt the same. You can compare the units there fairly easily until you get to end game stuff. Rifleman=Headhunter
Most units were almost the same in WC3 just with different skins. I still love it though.

I think you mean Starcraft there.. it's about the only game that managed to pull off 3 totally different factions and balance them perfectly vs each other.

It's been a while since I played War3, but mainly i was thinking about how one faction's starting combat unit was ranged while the others were melee, another used its starting combat unit for gathering a resource, each had different rules for building stuff - things that you might not want to do in Alleg, even if you could.
