Fight 1
I, too, like the very specific usage of #925. It shouldn't be that complicated to implement as walls do have some knowledge about their owner (try selling your walls and then the enemy's one). It isn't worth anything gameplay-wise but it would cover up the fact walls are no real buildings. It would add a nice touch.
Previously Ares regarded every opportunity a unit gained experience by killing allies as bug and fixed it. There wasn't any convincing usage case. It isn't like the Avatar from C&C3. That thing "steals" the weapons/stealth generators from friendly units, thus acting as a sort-of-upgrade/combine function. Just increasing the experience isn't the same; you could "harvest" many units of the same type, which is not possible for the original Avatar.
I think the Wall remap is a splendid little feature.
Fight 2
I feel sorry for whoever gets to code the upgrade system as it will be very easy to overlook various code locations that would need a hook. But if this system is working it will be superior to parachutes. By the way: Parachutes are already mapped to the player's color, so it will just be custom parachutes. This issue isn't stupid. Why should all countries use the same chute? Upgrades will be more useful for more people.
