Unit Sets

[Argammon]

I appreciate all the effort that is put into the standard unit sets. One thing i liked about Warlords 2 Deluxe was that it had dozens of unit sets. My question is if it is possible to allow gold members to create their own unit sets.

Of course, noone should be forced to play with a custom set. They should be 100% optional. I also understand that you need some graphics skill to create a nice looking set. Still I would love to see that option.

Thoughts?

They had, way back, an option to use the original (improved) cartoon tile-set.

I personally like the idea of more units/alternate sets, but in opening that to the masses you'd need a library, a whole lot of additional code to manage it in-game, and then you'd still have the problem of quality control like there is in the map department. Big can-o-worms.

There was talk of a map committee for categorization, quality control and ladder worthiness. You'd probably need something similar for unit sets.

I'm for an admin appointed committee. I'm against forum opinion (loudest person gets there way)/ popular vote (although committee should consider this in decision making).

I love the current units and the artwork but if there was an option I'd be first in line to make additional units.

I actually already sketched up what I thought your proposed Titan would look like. Imagining him at the front of my hero stack mowing down enemy units.

We had unit sets planed but skipped it for a while. But being able to configure art, stats and things like that is something we would like to do. But developing something and making it modifiable at the same time would slow us down. We are changing table structures all the time to make it work with new type of bonuses and ideas so it would require extra work if everything was modifiable.
It will have to come later.

Appointing a committee that can take care of some things is something we want to do. We might try to do that to some extend during this version. Just need to make sure they can have the tools needed.
