I don't think that is a good Idea. It doesn't add much to the game. It also detracts from creativity and besides, no one expects mods to use EVERY troop.

Kind of off topic, but I also agree with Petrosian that names of people should be included in the name of their army board. I've also found it difficult to find armies when people aren't the last posters; I don't know each army by user.

Hocotatians are NOT supposed to have much difference between troops. That's the disadvantage to being Hocotatians. If you want to have something that adds to the game, you have to be Wildlife. We have a rule in the game that you can't have overly mutated pikmin. For example, Blowhogmin would be not allowed. He has pikmin that I'll call Snipermin, and most of his Pikmin can be fitted with some weaponry that will make them to similar to Wildlife, thereby breaking the rules.

Brown pikmin can dig like sheargrubs, it doesn't make them against the rules. He has pikmin that have specific purposes, but that doesn't mean they're emulating wildlife. What wildlife creatures are snipermin like? None. I really don't see how it's a big deal unless they're similar to wildlife.

Ocean pikmin: My snipers. These beauties can be perfectly accurate up to 2 miles out with a proper weapon. Half a mile without one. They are ranking as on of my favorite pikmin.
This is ridiculous. This pikmin is tailor made to fit his needs.

This pikmin is tailor made to fit his needs. Maybe the range of their sight is a bit ridiculous, but I don't see a problem with pikmin with good eyesight.

Yes but being upgraded with pikmin is the advantage hoctatians have. Plus right now I could build a metal blowhog.

And Pikmin can never be upgraded to the point of turning Hocotatian to Half Wild-Hoco. Simply unfair if you do, considering Hoco's other advantages.

He has reds, yellows, blues, purple, white, green, orange, black brown and cyan pikmin in addition to three he's made: Pink pikmin: Ok, these are medical pikmin. They run around and make sure everyone is good and comfy while they die. They also can hand out weapons at the speed of fear. And thats fast. Blond pikmin: Think orange pikmin. Now take away the thick skin. No, not that much. Better. Ok, now think invunerability to most elemental hazzards. Now you have a blond pikmin. Ocean pikmin: My snipers. These beauties can be perfectly accurate up to 2 miles out with a proper weapon. Half a mile without one. They are ranking as on of my favorite pikmin. I don't think he's stretching it that much. Plus, you should have see what he had last game. He had about twenty (not an exaggeration) types of pikmin.

Actually pink pikmin seem like better honeywisps. Also blond pikmin seem way to powerful.

Well blond pikmin are just medics, that pass out weapons (I think, you'll need to ask Rocky about the second part). The blond pikmin are just like orange pikmin who can survive elemental hazards instead of being able to take a hit.

Two miles? Thats just rediculous. Thats longer than a tank's firing range.

Look, I never had a problem with Rocky giving upgrades to his troops and giving them weapons. Its the fact that he has thirteen troop types, which defeats one of the main advantages of being a Wildlife army. I'm not taking into account what all of his troops actually do, the only thing that bothers me is the number of unique troop types he has.
