If you couldn't color your henchment, would you settle for...

Coloring the powers they use?

I'll admit, I have no idea which would be easier to code, but let's assume that we couldn't customize the way our henchmen look. Would you be happy with the ability to at least customize the powers they use?

Modify the zombie vomit, dark blast from grave knights, and the lich's powers to be whatever colors you want?

Bots that fire blue or green or a rainbow array of colors? Green fire burn patches?

I guess Ninjas and Thugs would really only get the Oni's and arsonist's fire to be customizable.

Not sure how it would affect mercs.

EDIT: Wow, can't believe I missed the typo in the title. And I meant to say "customize" not "color" there...

I would want to paint stalkers on my team bright fuschia so I can see where they wandered off to. Not necessarily for the rest of CoV to see, just on my screen.

I would definitely like to affect the colors of the powers they use.

It would be nice if they could give us an option like weapon customization for different types of pets but I'd prefer another pet set. Demons will be great of course, but there have been so many good suggestions if they could just fit one in every 18-24 months it would be nice.

I just want to be able to colorize my minions costumes or even change their models. These would be predetermined models but I like choices so. New models please!!

Mercs would be the one set that would have the most minimal customization next to Thugs; Necromancery already has the ability to color the power of the Zombies, Grave Knights, and Lich.

I'd take either option, or both. Recoloring pet powers would be groovy; customizing their avatars would be icing.

As much as I'd like custom minions, coloring their powers would be a nice running up.

then once again mercs get short end of the stick

Any options for MM pets would be welcome.

But what I'd like to see, is choice between a few different type of pets.
For Necromancy - Zombies, Skeletal, Ghouls (sorta Frankenstein-types). Ghosts/spectal, maybe.
For Mercs - Soldiers, Security Personnel, etc. For Robots - different style of robots. 50's, Clockwork etc. And there could be a few different styles of ninjas (Oriental, non-oriental etc).

Maybe 3 choices per type would be fine. I don't think that would be that difficult to do. Hm, maybe the zombie vomit could be something else for the skeletal minions. Just change the animation to some sort of "dark breath".

I'm a big fan of Masterminds, but the limited choice in pets gets a bit boring after a while.

I don't think it would make that much difference to color most of the pets powers to be honest. Different styles of pets to summon like skeletons instead of zombies would be cool. I suspect/hope that we will get some sort of color customization at some point, though, even if it's minimal simply because of Soul Extraction.

What about switching the SS animations on the Thugs Bruiser? >.>

The Axehandle animation for KOB is all sorts of nifty.

good luck D.B.B.

All I want is:

Mercs: Council, 5th Column, Malta, Sky Raiders.

Robots: MekMen(1st and 3rd tier)/Steel Valkyries(Probots), Malta bots.

Zombies: Vaz (Cadavers, Mortificators, Murk Eidolon)

Thugs: Skulls and Hellions skins.

Ninjas: Tsoo.

There would be very little need for major animation changes, and they're all models already in the database, so without colorization, they shouldn't create too much lag.

Weapon options for Mercs/Thugs/Ninjas would be awesome, color options for Robot/Zombie skins and powers.

I also have to admit I would like to make my mercs a little more hi-tech (cyborg parts), but perhaps we are expecting too much...the issue already has alot to offer.

I'd settle for ::

Female (or Knives of Artemis) ninja

Steampunk (or Clockwork) Robots

Zombie Apocalypse Zombies

Family Thugs

DoktorMechaniker picked some good ones for Mercs.

I'm sure we'll eventually se it. It will probably be something like bots changing to Malta/Clockwork, ninjas to Knives of Artemis, thugs to Skulls/Family, etc, etc, but I would like to see a good female version of ALL the male thugs, ninjas, mercs.
