Like what?

Aside from the Case Blue ToW pack...

Defensive Doctrine
Mechanized Doctrine
Infantry Doctrine
Blitzkrieg Doctrine
Defensive Tactics
Combined Arms Tactics
Reserve Army Tactics
Shock Army Tactics

And, if you took part at the time:

Close Air Support Doctrine
Advanced Warfare Tactics

And, RNG-based though it is, all non-ToW/XP DLC can be gained for free through War Spoils.

So, quite a lot of free shit actually.

Custom commanders may kill the game entirely. I cant wait for all the whining posts from the optimists.

Well, wait no more! Here's a (whining?) post from an objective(optimistic?) player.


We have no clue how this will be implemented, it has the potential to be completely broken. Chances are, based on this forums history, everyone is overreacting due to a lack of information from Relic and their previous track record. It looks like abilities will be placed in categories based on strength, and players will be able to mix and match from there, which doesn't strike me as all that much different from how Relic comes up with them.


You know what these "______ will kill the game" posts remind me of? Grandparents saying that the troubled youth will be the downfall of man. Every generation of adults since the dawn of time has lamented the youth and how they are ruining the world, and guess what, the world keeps on turning. How about you guys all take a collective chill tranquilizer (a pill won't cut it) and wait to see how this is implemented before we freak out.

Another thing they could do with the exisiting commanders would be, for example, to break down all the commanders any player posesses into their component abilities, or even into Supply, and let us build whatever we want from the parts.
This way, a player that got, say, the Elite Troops Doctrine before, would now be able to include its unique abilties (Tiger Ace, Troop Training, Stun Grenade) into custom commanders, whereas someone that didn't would have to hope for a lucky drop from a package bought with Supply or such.

Nice digging Mirage357.

I found some Custom Commander images lurking in the files hopefully these aren't the final products. I'm assuming they're placeholders for the future or perhaps they're the default icon before we pick a commander image to insert there (like skins, bulletins etc.)



There are also larger ones like the ones you see on the steam store pages or here on the Commander Guides. I'll post them if needs be but they're not really any different.
