New Troop Skins

[FireThief]

How do skins get abused? Are you saying that people rip off their skin and abuse it?

Well considering on mine-craft you get some players having skins of Hitler.... this could be abused, yes.

Would it not have big performance hit, lag and memory issues storing and rendering all those different skins for all the different types of troops.

AWSOME! This is very original and I think it's a great idea since it doesn't give a power boost but changes their appearance and makes it more fun!

It could, but tech is always advancing, so if not now then maybe someday!

Super Cell would design the skins genius.... That's why they would be bought with gems. So players could not get a Nazi army unless SC designed it, and they never would. So no, it can't be abused. Geez, use your brain kid.

Yeah changing troop skin would be fun...but basically how a roman golem would be different from a celtic golem???

The archer barbarian I get it, but dragons, hounds and so on...i don't really see...

As stated in the original post, Dark troops would not be changed by the skins. Dragons could be different easily. A medieval dragon is dark red and larger, an Atlantean Dragon is blue and more serpentine, A Greco-Roman Dragon would have the look of a hydra, and so on.

I think that the idea of having skins in game would be cool and having like giants with coral coming off their backs? That would be awesome as well as some other skin ideas posted in said thread. This should totally be in the next update if SC doesn't recognize this as an amazing idea they're crazy

Basically this is an idea that select troops would have optional, and changeable skin layovers that would appear in army camps and when in battle. Some examples would be , Atlantean troops, Celtic troops, medieval troops, and additionally iced based troops, fire based troops, and of course the default skins which we all start with. Skins would be purchased with gems but would not affect troop stats just their looks and animation.

Skins would be a form of army customization, purchased with gems via the store in-game. Once purchased, the skin may be activated to change the way your basic troops look. (Dark troops would not change.) Skins would never have to be re-purchased, but more than one skin may be owned. Only one skin may be active at a time.

Your idea is to add new troop skins but why not just add a new look to the entire game? So if you choose the medieval skin then all your buildings would look medieval.


Also apparently new flags will lag the game. So an entire new set of troop skins will probably lag it too.

Did you get this idea from minecraft texture/resource packs?? My friend had a similar idea.

Skins for buildings? Hadn't thought of that, but sounds good.

That could happen, yes, but my job is to provide ideas, not design the game. That is SuperCell's job. If they can't implement this idea, they won't, but that doesn't stop me from putting it out there.

No, I only play Minecraft Pocket Edition, and there are no fancy skins in that.
