The problem here is the color scheme; the units and their buildings have the same color! A light-colored Paladin on a light-colored wall, and a dark green Vampire on a dark green building.
In the vanilla game, it's easier; only the Gremlin blends in with the sand....
I thought the point of a custom recruitment menu was to attract the player, so they would look at the new menu with interest instead of the old, familiar one. When creating custom menus, I primarily thought about the beauty of the background.
But I understand – the main thing in recruitment is the unit being recruited.
