Thread: Doctrine switching16 Nov 2016, 11:44 AM The idea of committing to one commander per game is IMO obtuse. Various commanders give benefits right at the start of the game, but at the cost of lategame benefits, like tigers or IS call-ins, so why you should go after those. There are a few exceptions of course, but the more the game progress u should adapt to what ur facing or what u expect could be the next move of your opponent. Also max. command points is 32.. Why?!.. Tiger Ace has the highest command point requirement and that is 17. There should be restrictions of course. You cant change commander before 10-15 (1v1) mins had passed. Your command points will be halved. - or - Your command points will be back at 0. Every player is alerted if someone changed his doctrine.. For team games the time could be higher (2v2/20:00 3v3/30:00 4v4/40:00) Also, there could be different "conditions" for certain abilities depending on the commander. For example: Wehr Mechanized Assault can call-in Tiger tanks while Assault Support could make it "buildable". Each one with its own pros and cons. Similar to UKF commandos. I would like to see this. I'm optimistic... and meta-games are way boring to watch and play. So.. whatcha think ppl? tl;dr: Make it possible to change commanders after initial pick, but with heavy restrictions.

Thread: Can't see my map in custom game (Solved... hopefully)11 Nov 2016, 01:35 AM A few days ago i had this problem that was a headache. I was doing a multiplayer map.. when i wanted to test it, just wasn't there in the list... At some point in the mapping process, changed Map type to singleplayer in the "Scenario Properties" menu (if i changed it or if it was a bug i don't know). The thing is, changed it back to Multiplayer and saved the map and then exported the package. But the map was still missing in custom game map list. Every folder was Ok, -dev command didn't help on finding it, various threads in steam forum and in here with same problem but no solution. The thing was, every time i changed singleplayer label to multiplayer, saved it and reloaded it, singleplayer was still chosen. So I made a new map and to see if worked with just the minimal requirements, and it worked. Then opened both "MapName.options" files with notepad++ and changed everything that looked different to the simple map that was working (aside from mapsize). And it worked. I don't know if i messed up with something while changing the code via notepad++, but it seems that everything is OK (played the map a few times). If you have this same problem. Hope it helps you . p.d.: My english sucks In: Mapping Discussion

You cant change commander before 10-15 (1v1) mins had passed.

Your command points will be halved.
- or -
Your command points will be back at 0.

Every player is alerted if someone changed his doctrine.. For team games the time could be higher (2v2/20:00 3v3/30:00 4v4/40:00)

Also, there could be different "conditions" for certain abilities depending on the commander. For example:
