Sadly, I don't think we will see this implemented any time soon ... as it would add variety and depth to the game that's currently sold piecemeal as DLC.

Relic added "Soviet Bear Cavalry" to unlock the moment someone reaches 100 CP ingame.

My controls weren't working
And if they were, you were playing dishonorably,
And if you weren't, you were playing without skill,
And if you were, it's not fun to play that way,
And if it is, you only care about winning.

Bible of Scrublord, Psalt 3:16.

I support this because I like a little extra strategy with my strategy games.

Hey I figured I might as well post this. It is from another thread, but probably more relevant here:

A simple fix to the commander bloat is to stop the automatic CP allocation once a commander is chosen, and allow for manual allocation across all three. Redundant commander abilities would be obstacles to unlocking late-game abilities and units, and add a component to choosing an efficient load-out.

Commanders would then become an adaptive and dynamic doctrine tree for players to customize and develop new strategies with. The linear one-track commander method is just, well, stale.

i think the biggest problme is that while it gives you a strategic choices its such a 180 from what we hve now relic or sega are never gonna go for it.

Failure is always an option.

Thanks Flash for putting fancy colors on pictures to make this problem even more clear and more obvious. We've been complaining about this commander system since beta. Instead of getting better, it's getting much, much worse, as more poorly balanced commanders are piled on to the already overblown collection.

Removing the strategic choice between Left-Hand-Side and Right-Hand-Side has never made sense.

Putting global upgrades (like PPsH, Smoke, FHQ, etc etc) into a Commander makes the core game more shallow with less strategic variance in each game.

Flashing yellow lights as CPs count to 25 is just like WTF how could this pass any design test? When a game goes deep and 19 CPs flash big yellow icons in my face I'm just thinking to myself, "WTF is Relic trolling me? Is this a joke?" I hate that commander abilities auto-unlock. What's the fun in that?

Totally agree!

@ OP, great work. Let's hope Relic listens! +1

i was hoping relic would allow us to choose two commanders during one match. what i mean is, once the player reaches a certain amount of cps they could chose another commander.

for example, the german player chooses ostruppen as his first doctrine but at 6 cps he choses mechanized assault.
