An Idea for Hero and Town Customization

[Konstantin Fomenko]

*crosses fingers for banner design*

Yap we are working on this as well - attached is a terrible, terrible low quality screenshot We just need to finish the interface for putting these together.

Heh,
That looks more like a hero graveyard. I guess the ability to customize one's tombstone is nice.

I know i only joined today and haven't actually played the game yet because the CD says the time limit has expired but ive pmed about that so dont worry but, this idea seems really cool. It would be great to implement a banner design onto your units to give them a more personal and individual feel. Also if you play online alot your units or the sight of your banner could become something to be feared at sight! i know that sounds ridiculous but if your reputation is great your army will send off an invisible aura to players and make them tremble in their boots but that idea is just mental and not physical. Anyway i would love making a design to put on my units sheild or cape, and perhaps even have a flag holder assigned to every unit? would be awesome.

Yeah there's a post somewhere on the forums that showed 300? banners that are waiting to be implemented

On the pro side, custom banners (and colours?) would be totally awesome.

On the con side, the "Dawn of War Effect"*

It is a bit of a problem :/


* This refers to the, all to common, situation where you would see enemy space marines with a black, white, red colour scheme raise swastika-flags on the contro lpoints -.-

I'm sure they would be able to put a limit on the customization. (If it's not too much work.) Maybe have set designs that you can alter here and there and just the colors; just to control and make sure nothing too offensive happens.

I agree! I love the idea about having a special building for my hero and being able to customize him (her, once that becomes available!)

Also, maybe the banner customizing could be including in those buttons and maybe a coat of arm design??
