Relic will probably be reading threads like these to decide which commanders to pick from so that people can vote.

Ideally, the doctrines that will be selected in the end should:

Be Salvageable
The doctrine should scale at least as well as other faction doctrines, so that people will still pick the doctrine 2 weeks after the patch.

e.g., You could buff the abilities of the NKVD or the Anti-Infantry doctrine, but would you ever truly pick either over, e.g., Terror Tactics (assuming that all doctrines had their abilities fixed at the same time)

Have a cohesive design
The abilities should synergise with one another and make sense when you put them together. i.e., the doctrines should feel as close to CoH1 doctrines in spirit. For instance, if you buff every single Soviet Industry ability, you will have a strong doctrine. However, without swapping abilities out, there is no link between the doctrine abilities and how an Industry-themed doctrine should function.

Cohesive design has little to do with power. For instance USF Infantry Doctrine has a more cohesive design than the bag-of-treats USF Tactical Support doctrine.

Everybody has sort of converged to the same group of 3-4 WFA commanders.

Now, it might be difficult, but let's try to find interesting EFA commanders that will become great if given a good polish. You can make more precise suggestions as you go, to see where we can take those commanders. There's a lot of good suggestions already going around!

I like the part where the name all the people and I'm not there, like I didn't make videos for map makers in the worldbuilder or go over any of the changes with anyone. SeemsGood
