    I've already tried to type the same exact words in the search bar to see if this has been suggested before, found nothing and I decided to put up this post. So how can we personalize our commanders? I was thinking of PA should have a large array of small graphic prints, accessories, or freedom to choose our secondary colors for our commanders.

    Small graphic prints may be something like an epic air plane graphic that signifies that my strategy relies on air units, varying graphic prints that counts the number of commanders that I brutalized by suffocation of my air units, or perhaps completely customized graphic prints that we photocopy from our printers/photocopy machine and upload it into PA.

    Feathers, grenade bandoleers, halos that have glowing effects, bright glowing green eyes, etc. Perhaps more accessories that are more fitting to the PA universe, but objects that can make commanders stand out from each other with the possible help of the Steam Workshop in which can offer countless ideas.

    Secondary colors... we don't have any control what secondary colors we have on our commanders like we do with the primary colors. I always jump with glee when my black commander is paired up with a red secondary color, because they are always my favorite combo colors that are keen to my eye.

    I would hope all these suggestions would be in a commander customization menu of some sort. With these suggestions, I hope this isn't out of Uber Entertainment's league, budget, or vision. If it isn't either of the 3, personalized commanders would be that nice little bit of content that people would like to show off with limitless ideas and character.

    Only the highest tier of kickstarter backers get to customize a commander.

    The basic types of commanders that are part of a different faction is understandable, but I don't agree with the small details accessed to the "elite" only. The general audience should have access to those small details with the commanders they already have.

    Unless someone picks up this idea, it isn't going anywhere. I can't code or know anyone who knows how to mod; let alone willing to mod it.

    They get there own custom commander built however they want it (as long as it stick to the theme). It is a little different from what the op suggested. The ability to give your commander a hat or to give it a different skin is completely separate.

    Anyways, the way Uber is trying to set things up is a means to avoid small cosmetics like that and instead they're focusing on having just lots of flat out different commanders.
