One thing I really feel is missing...

... is the ability to customize each of your units. It is one of the greatest things in Tabletop. You read your army lists for hours, think about strategies to maximize your army efficiency and choose the right equipment for each of your units/ sometimes even models.

What we have is a customization System for lords and heroes via skills and equipment, and I really like it. To me this is one of the Core parts of the game and without it everything would feel pretty dull.

So why not let us customize each unit? Maybe give each unit a number of equipmentslots, that can be Filled however the Player feels like to buff the unit itself. You want your line units to hold longer? Maybe equip them with a sergeant / Banner guy for extra leadership, improved armour and some resistance spell. You want flanking units hit harder? Better Horses/Swiftness for extra speed, better weapons and maybe some blessing that lets them cause fear. Some equipment that gives units abilities, like the smokebombs skulkers use, would be cool Too.

Equipment could be enabled via buildings and/or tech, and instead of having to collect it after battles like hero equipment, you can buy it for gold plus it would increase the units upkeep.

Maybe make it that lower tier units have more equipment slots. So you could still run very variable armies late game. Instead of just bringing greatswords/gunners/hellfirerockets, a swordsman unit with armour piercing weapons, melee skill buffs, a sergeant for leadership and some debuff ability would be a real Alternative to greatswords. Even trash units like basic goblins could have a use this way late game. Give them even bigger shields, resistance to ranged damage, plus some shrooms to make them unbreakable and they make for awesome bullet sponges.

I really feel like this would be an awesome improvement to an already awesome game, allowing for so much deeper tactics and a way more Fun endgame.

Customize your army according to your enemy. Wood elves are terrorizing you? Time to get some fire weapons. You have Problems with dwarfs? Archers with Rusty Arrow effect will help. Empires hellfire rockets shred you? Give some of your units the ability to move unseen and sneak up on them. Bretonnia is bringing you to your knees and the only anti large you have is skeleton spearmen? Time to make them more resilient and armor piercing.

Just to make things clear: the way I think about it would allow for each individual unit to be customized the way you like. All you have is swordsman? Give some unbreakable to hold the line, while others get armour piercing and swiftness to do some breakthroughs and flanking.

If this ever happens, I guess I will have to quit my job to have more time to play :-D

What are your thoughts on this?

(Before anyone is complaining, the named equipments/skills/buffs were just examples. Of course giving a whole army unbreakable would be pretty overpowered. This stuff would have to be balanced of course. Plus most of my examples are Not in Tabletop)
