Add skin preview on the map before purchase #3682

Purpose

Add skin preview feature that allows players to see how a skin looks on the map before purchasing it. Currently skins are only visible on the store card, making it difficult to make informed purchase decisions.


Objectives

  • Add a "Preview" button to the skin store card UI.
  • Render the selected skin on the player's territory on the map when preview is activated.

Description

Currently, players can only see skins as small images on the store purchase card. This makes it hard to judge how a skin will actually look in-game on their territory.

This feature adds a "Preview" button to each skin card in the store. When clicked, the skin is temporarily applied to the player's territory on the map so they can see how it looks at actual game scale. The preview is local-only — other players do not see it. A dismiss button or clicking away exits the preview and restores the original appearance.

This is a UI/UX improvement that should increase player confidence in purchases and reduce buyer's remorse.

I can take this on.
