Time will tell, but what about Predator versus Bard. I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that they won't have that much in common. I could be wrong, as I know absolutely nothing about bards in this game as opposed to other games. Because everyone seems to have so many group abilities they may play similarly to predators and rogues for all I know.
In the end, it may be prudent to separate territary classes from the archetypes, but even if that is true at some point it definately isn't true now. Also, keeping them on the same board may eliviate some of the rivalries that could arise as the game progresses. We may find, however, that the things people talk about have nothing to do with the other classes at all. Time will tell.
