I thought of an idea of, why not have race skins? They work like this:

- The all the names, unit appearance, summaries, and sound effects will change drastically
- 1 skin would cost 100 gold bars, some other skins created may be charged more
- If playing multiplayer, skins will always be in separate views of each player:
ex: player 1 has a different skin than player 2, player 1 will always see his/her selected skin regardless and vice versa
- There is an option to gp with different skins, depending on the player
- Skins won't be applied to campaign missions.

My idea of a skin:

WWII skin:

Sapiens -> USA; Titans -> Germany; Khraleans -> Soviet Union

USA:

Marine -> Soldier
Engineer's name is unchanged
Marauder -> M3 Scout
Tank -> M4A3E8
Helicopter -> P-38 Lighting
Battery -> M7 Priest
Destroyer -> USS Missouri
Mecha II -> Conscripted Sturmtruppen

Germany:

Mecha -> Sturmtruppen
Assimilator -> Pioniere
Speeder -> Pz.II Luchs
Eclipse -> SdKfz. 7
Plasma Tank -> Pz.VI Tiger
Walker -> Kanone 18
Hydronaut ->Bismarck
Cyber Underling ->Conscripted Pekhota

Soviet Union:

Underling -> Pekhota
Infector -> Sapper
Swarmer -> Il-10
Garuda -> Yakovlev Yak-7
Pinzer -> T-34-85
Wyrm -> SU-5
Leviathan -> Molotov
Infected Marine -> Conscripted Soldier

Abilities:

EMP -> Smoke
UV -> Explosives
Plague -> Poison
Bury -> Camouflage
Teleport -> Transport
Move After Attack is unchanged

you can add some ideas too by replying to this post

possible cost: 200-300 gold bars

I also think this would be a feature worth a few unicoins myself, but why go backwards in time with the skins. I'd like to see something like this....
Each race variation would attain the current stats in order to not get too swept away in game balance. I'd also like to see each race with alternate appearances as well as entirely new race variation for said race. In other words the saps would have multiple skins that would not be playable by other races and so on.

Interesting, so Themed custom skins. I like it.

Allegedly, according to xavi on the chat weeks back, theres a thread somewhere here on the forums with unit icons when I asked about 'design your own colors' but I've yet to find it.

I know we have the tallent out there we just need to find and use it.

Hopefully Xavi will see this eventually and give us graphics specifications to create custom unit icons that we could upload for his aproval. I've no idea what they are. So far it apears that there are 2 basic shaders (primary/secondary) and then the unit itself and it appears the animation consists of 4 frames, but what format and such I've no clue. He's also mentioned something about the game going 'high res' with version 1.9.

I'd seriously like to create 'team color' skins.

I'm talking more than color schemes

SAPS
TITANS
KHRALEANS

Are your given races upon download as usual, now I propose an alternate variation of each race. Or same race but different appearance/color scheme that could be purchased individually per unit, or as a bundle package.

Now I also propose entirely new races, ( I know this not an entirely new idea) that could be purchased for each stat group, this would have to be a bundle purchase only. And I'll use similes everyone can relate to for clarity.

Stat groups

Humanoid race
Saps/Romulan/Klingon

Robotic race
Titans/Borg/Terminators

Parasitic race
Khraleans/ ? Need ideas ?

I know my examples are probably corny/cliche but it's just to get my thought across. I think using new races as skins would give UniWar a new flavor and source of income without disturbing current balance.

@ cmbaptist, there may be licencing issues with using various franchise themes just so you know. Like the idea but would have to vary it up from specific franchises

Obviously..... I was only using well knowns for a visualization factor if that makes sense.
