Stop and think about this for a second you goons; Noruas just asked if we could have player customized races in Spring!

Say that you want to play the Core race, but you want to specialize in building long-range artillery, so your name needs "art" in it somewhere and you get access to unit that's a cross between a LRPC and a MRPC. You want armored mexs, so you put "amex" in your name and you build Armored mexs instead of regular. You've decided, for some odd reason, that you want a single stolen Arm technology, so you have "fla" in your name for Flash Tank. Carry it a little further, and "art" in your name might also or instead give you a 20% damage bonus to plasma cannons.

Every single player in a 10 player match could have a different army. Names like Artamexfla12 might seem a little odd, but the added anonymity of playing would be interesting as well.

Bloody flipping brilliant if it's possible. Oo

yes but then id know EXACTLY what tactics you are going to use... that being "kekekeflashrush w/mobile berthas and uberporc"

interesting? yes. good? probably not. players would do what they always do, find the most powerful combination and spam it to the max

Nonsense - it's only a 20% bonus. If I had a name like Artartart I'd know that you'd expect me to porc so I'd spam Gators. =P
