    Hey, i was wondering what ui guys would thinkk about being able to make a custom paint job on your units, like in dawn of war, or mark of chaos, rather than just picking a preset coulor choice for your army like in warcraft3

    Hmm but arnt the units too small for one to see the detail?
    Also textures witch such a deteail will surely low the game speed.
    And what about zerg and toss? They are not the camo and pimp my ride kind of races haha.

    What would be possible is that every color of terran should have its own shield design. A skull, crossed swords, a lightning bolt, a star, a rainbow, a heart, a puppy...

    lol, each zerg brood has grown a certain emblem on their back, a zergling with a rabbit insignia? or for protoss their could be little pictures in the ripples of their sheild when they get attacked :p

    I actually like the idea of having your own "Squadron" or whatever....

    So you would have your own faction to go with your name. And Clans could share the same "faction" with a customizable logo.

    You played too many time with Homeworld 2. We can also modify the color and .... anything you want in the multiplayer game, or against the computer.

    But in the campaign nothing changes.

    I like it, but as an afterthought. I don't meant they shouldn't put too much work into it, but they have other things to focus on at this point, but I support the idea.

    if youve played a dawn of war or mark of choas youd understand better but it basically works like you choose different coulours to fit onto a preset paintface on you basic tropp (marine, zealot, zergling) and then it applys it too the rest of your units giving you a unique uniform to your army

    EDIT: its also really helpful if your a roleplaying person and you want a unique army to play around with, and also, you wouldnt have to be sad that someone had taken your preffered coulor in online games like in warcraft 3

    This sounds good. One thing that I have seen was in Mechcommander 2 you chose two colors in multiplayer options. A primary base color and a secodary trim color. Since it had around a hundred color schoices there are 10,000 combinations then add on top of that you can put an insignia on the units too.

    Also in world in conflict your Massgate avatar is painted on all of your units

    well, i want it to work alot like DoW, Dow had a primary colour, trim, secondary trim. weapon, and one more... i forget, and it had a custom coulor maker with exactly 16581375 different coulour choices on a single section. Also, you could download a picture from your computer onto the game to use as your banner or badge
