Suggestion: Optional unit 'bases'
Posted: Sat Oct 10, 2009 3:23 am
Will there be an option to display a rectangular base around each unit/element, to make them look more like miniatures on a tabletop? It may seem like a daft idea but what I'm hoping to find with the computer version of FoG is a similar feel to the miniatures game. My dream is to be able to practice on the computer and be able to take what I've learned directly to a tabletop.
To further extend on this idea will there be an 'army painter'? Something I enjoyed in "History Channel: Great Battles of Rome" was being able to alter the basic paint scheme of units. It seems like the same functionality may not be too tricky to paste into FoG; a limited palette of historically accurate colours which can be used to alter areas of the models. To take things even further perhaps the flock on the opening paragraph's bases can be deliberately mismatched to the terrain - as we might see when a green tablecloth is being used with figures that have been based desert yellow.
