Sandbox Mode

With the new 1.5 stack system and all the new updates coming with 1.5, there is a whole new way to think, strategize and prepare in the game. Changing the meta and micro aspects is a lot to take in and I propose a new sandbox mode to test these new updates.

What I am suggesting is the creation of a new mini-game mode, most likely solo. All would be needed is a small map with the features to create or add whatever units you wanted to experiment with, structures to be built, terrain adjustments etc. on a small scale.

If you have every played Age of Empires they have a "scenario mode" where you can test out unit compositions and counters with the terrain challenges. Or if you played Halo they had they have a Forge mode. I won't pretend that this wouldn't be a massive undertaking for the Bytro team however it would not have to be that big of a design as the aforementioned games. Just a couple of provinces really and the ability to add units to experiment with.

I strongly think this type of mode will be beneficial to all levels of play in the CoW community. Instead of testing this out in a real game where you are trying to win, you now have a "consequence-free" arena to mess around with.

I am unsure of the name: Sandbox mode is a generic game mode but you can call it whatever. I list some names here just to get the ideas flowing.

- War Games (probably the most historical since that was what military officers call their training exercises)

- Training Grounds

- Practice Mode

Please let me know what you all think of this I am very interested in the feedback.
