I guess we should treat you as any new skinner, so we would like to see a sample first.

You could make the whole game with vanilla skins but unit names/tech trees like planned, and just change the models/skins to ours when they are finished. That way you can balance the game right. Also remember there are a need for new city plans, buildings, etc. and at least I have never seen anything done about it.
