It would be really cool if we could vary the amount of money in each base on one map. Like the forward bases are worth 25 credits each and the rear bases are worth 150...that way losing the forward bases wouldn't necessarily mean a total loss, especially if you have to sacrifice a lot to gain the base.

If you take this idea a bit further, you could even have bases that gain no money and only let you build units. Or the reverse, bases that only allow gain you money but don't let you produce units. Trinerok posted this on the in-game chat. This would allow for new kinds of tactical battles. You could put high value bases towards the middle of the map but don't allow unit production from them. Having bases that are close together forces a battle, but also heavy units built on a base are weak. These new types of bases would avoid that weakness while still forcing a battle in certain areas of the map. And bases that can produce units but provide no income would be tactical waypoints. I think that maybe this second kind of base, the producer only, could be better in some situations. But hard to say given my relative lack of expertise in the game.

Continuing with the modding...what if you could build maps in which certain units were outlawed? You could let one player have a major financial advantage but only allow them to build light infantry. Netsurfer733 has built a few maps that would benefit from this requirement, and I know that Deathmarine1 is trying out some D-Day maps that don't work if the players build helicopters.

All of this would not necessarily make Uniwar "more balanced" which seems to be a topic that inflames passions on the chat at the moment. But it would open up more experiences for the many uniwarriors who love this game for the way that crazy strategies every now and then work out. More modding please!
