Unit Selection in Single Player? Possible?

I was just wondering if it was possible to introduce the multiplayer unit selection interface into single player games, to add a bit of variety to them? Maybe I don't want 12 archers in one map, or 10 dwarves in another.

I apologize if this has been discussed before, I tried using the search feature but it's a bit dodgy, and frankly I was surprised I couldn't find anything like this in the mods section. Is it possible, or did I just miss something similar to this that has already been released? Thanks for any info.

Currently I dont think there is any support for it, I believe if you attempted to click the checkbox in Fear saying "Map supports unit trading" it either (a) unchecks the "is single player map" box or (b) just ignores it completely.

Something may be possible if a bit limited and entirely based on each individual map with some scripting, but as for an engine addition that adds the unit select GUI in single player that may be something you need to put on a feature request form or just directly address Melekor/Myrd/Whoever handles it nowadays.
