Would this be possible? (reward skins)
« on: January 23, 2010, 11:01:14 PM »
I know the devs have reward units made and ready to go. My question is, would it be possible to use the reward units system to make more unit skins available? For example, make a consrcript reward unit with exactly the same stats as regular conscripts, but they are wearing overcoats (like the artillery firebase crewmen). This would be cool because you could change the way your units looked if you were playing on a winter map.

This is something that is definitely 100% possible, and we may look into it one day.

Would be interesting if uniforms could be changed to fit the environment automatically.

The main 'con', other than sheer amount of work, is that players often recognise their enemy based on what they look like. If they change around every other map, this could get frustrating and we start to move away from the core ethos of the mod.
