[Is there a] Jan/Feb Preview[?]

What would be really awesome is when clothing worn by combatants would change with the season. I always feel so bad for the poor guys who have to go fighting mid-winter bare-chested (or even bare-...)

Do you guys realize how much variation you are talking about creating? For each unit? Take the original number of (hundreds) of units, multiply by the numbers of skins for factions, the number of upgrades in armor/weapons, the changes in winter/summer? If we had a dozen full time skinner/modellers, we could do it, but we are very thin - it's extremely difficult to keep good unit artists for long times. At some times during EB1's history, one guy was doing a large majority of units (spartan warrior and stefan25 really just *poured* units into the mod at different times), though others were steadily working on some also. Find us a lot more unit artists and we can start thinking realistically about offering all that incredible variation.

We don't think realistically, we just watch the pantodopai http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=146680
and drool.

And I wish I knew how to model/skin and had the time for it. I would do everything I could for the project I love and adore. Alas, I just have to drool and enjoy the goodness you give me.
