Well here's my idea what if the commander was allow to build like a tank that he can use. from his view like make so that if your a commander u and your one tank can go like a rts style. just so the commander can do something beside build and tech. Well that was my big idea I'm like Dee i just go do something else if i'm commander.
leash players to buildings, pick them up and make them disciple breeders or cast lightning bolts. now that would be sweet.
*edit* whoops, missed your point entirely. :p I don't like this idea because it would detract from the commander's role. The commander should be the one organizing his troops, overseeing and supervising the battle, and curling his fingers while ominously saying "excellent" in a dark, shadowed armchair. If you want to go fight in a tank then, well, go fight in a tank, and have someone else command.
FalconX It's Mister Burns! That's freaking hilarious, F.X. ALSO: Commander tank/CV that shoots lasers/CV that attacks with cannon-fired ninjas/etc. all bad ideas. Let the commander command. Go drive your medium tank.
