I ain't touching that demo editor. I don't want to get spoiled any more than I have to

It just occurred to me that the soldier customization is gonna lend itself well to LPs. Redshirts, Stormtroopers, Boba Fett, and more, not to mention being able to fully customize names, appearances, and nationalities.

While thinking about various armor customization ideas, I hit on the idea of dressing all of my rookies up in White armor and treating them like Storm Troopers until they prove themselves as useful.

Now I'm pondering a Let's Play where the Commander is crazy and thinks he's Darth Vader. All of his troops are dressed up as Storm Troopers and treated as disposable until they get promoted to some better rank. Officers get all black armor.

If I ever get a really cool reward soldier I could color his armor to resemble Boba Fett, and have him be an equally crazy guy who's there to 'get bounties on the aliens'.

I don't know if I'll do this...but it could be a lot of fun!

I approve. Better yet, make him an actual psychic cyborg-thing.

And it'd be awesome to be able to mod in new uniforms, but that's probably a little too much

I'd think adding new models and textures would be one of the first things they'd add/people would work on.

Oddly enough, nationality is the one thing you can't customize for some reason. I'm really not sure why, but I distinctly remember the devs saying that. Struck me as odd.

@IronyOwl: Yeah, I was thinking people weren't going to take him too seriously for a while. And then when I got Psionics he'd suddenly force choke someone and they'd all get very, very serious around him.

Oooh, and if I get a reward Psionic character I can have him suddenly decide to go into battle!

Pity, though, I don't think the game can do capes.

Huh. That is kinda weird

This is sad, but I'm looking at the counter slowly grow to 100%.

It's now at 99%. We should get this in a couple of hours if it's automated.

Gender, too. Looks like there game has operations, but no "operations."

I just got my free copy of CIV 5.

Right. Totally forgot about that.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand, downloading. But now it's 1am. And the wife is sleeping. Dangit.

[Zangi]

So... the preorder/Civ 5 thing only works with Steam?

[fred1248]

Yes.

[Anvilfolk]

And been having a jolly good time with it too. It's the kind of game that sucks me in for hours upon hours... when I emerge from the other side I likely won't start another big game, but still!
