    Fucking finally. Spawwn comes back after doing nothing for months and implements the most useful feature since I've actually played this game. I am most certainly approve. Thank you.

    Wasn't the main problem that you couldn't vote out the squad lead? Ofc this is a much needed feature, but is a votekick planned too?

    hooray :pathetic:

    but srsly, i dont mean to say this isnt a nice feature basically, but i can only think of 2 maps where it will get used and both are not representative for why empires is a unique game, namely district and escort.
    i would be way happier if new features improve the classic RTSFPS gamemode ...

    yey, now im the only one posting something negative, hooray for you too flasche :cry:

    It'll make squads easier to deal with on classic maps.

    yes squadpoints are the most important things on commander maps ... :rolleyes:
    oh cmon recon remove your rose-colored glasses just because something - and yes i agree its nice - finally got implemented.
    squadpoints mainly play a roll on district and escort - thats where they win or lose games. on commander maps even a team thats completely neglecting them can easily win ...

    im not saying this is a bad addition in ANY way, its still mainly for non classic maps ...

    I reckon it would be simpler to make the "Promote to Lead" button into a "Vote to Promote" button for non leader squad members. It's more organized since you skip the step of changing squad leaders once you kicked an offending party.

    Do you have any idea how often I squadrevive people behind enemy lines? Do you have any idea how often I have won ground by arty-striking an enemy rax? Do you have any idea how often my team has won after running out of tickets due to a revive squad (yes, that happens on classic maps too)?
