Question about unit complexion options.

from Elemental Forums

Is there going to be a slider or color chart available so that players can change the complexion/skin tone of their units?  If this option does not fit within the cannon of the main game, will it be available in mods?  My username sums up my cultural background, and I haven't seen this question asked or answered in the forums.  A lot of other games have this option and I'm hoping Elemental will too.  Plus, it would make the overall in-game population of units look more diverse (not just tfor the sake of diversity).

That would be nice, or, even better, that the skin pigments of the soldier depend on what terrain type the city is built upon.

We're designing pretty much all assets to be colorizable. The artists have gone to great lengths to allow a full palette of skin tones to work well on all unit models :) 

That will all be in-game, but if you want bright-green people then you'll have to mod it in ;)

Since I mostly complained in the last few days, let's say, well done. :)

I prefer reddish-purple, meself. But this color-scheme thing seems like a lot of fun. Will color variation depend on faction (i.e. some are blue or grey decided completely at random, some are all Aryan, some have powder-blue males and orange females, etc.)? And what the heck to the Fallen actually look like! We haven't seen even ONE picture or description yet, and I'm getting antsy...

Am I the only one that has found this in the medallion folder?

Edit: hell, now replies appear from newer to older?

Ok, that's odd. Looks like some posts got duplicated, and some others were eliminated.......... and thanks for the medallion tip, Wints........ although I must say the Fallen look an aweful lot like zombies....

EDIT: this is freaky. We appear to be posting in reverse!
