Sort of like Men of War's direct control system, it can get overpowered so the option to limit this should be there too ig
#RTS commander should be able to directly control units with a single button

i think the commander should be able to do something similar except will have access specifically to a commander unit IE a hive king or a literally commander with command vehicle for humans

Not a fan of special commander units. Your job as commander is supposed to be directing units and the construction of building. If you want to play as a unit then let someone else command and you play infantry.

eh then your role as an fps player is not to back seat command and listen instead of begging for stuff i cant afford at the time?
if fps players are allowed to make suggestions that take away gameplay from the commander why cant the commander have an fps unit i seen no problem in this and ontop of that it can help both sides with base defense early game

This is player issue not a game mechanic. If you have a problem with players theirs plenty of people here who can help. But going about asking for game changes because you run with random people lol.

That is an opinion and I'm not in disagreement but I'd like it atleast to be an option, when Call to Arms released their fps direct command mode some players were upset and I was actually one of them because of the style of the game itself, so they just added the option for it to be disabled..... That's all I think is needed, just adding it as an option
I think to balance things out player should also be more like squad leaders with the ability to purchase up to 18 inf units and command them from the fps point of view (sorta like Arma but more simplified)
Also if drones were to be added, then it goes without saying that command should have the ability to control them directly

Never was a fan of hero units

Me neither, nothing would be done to the stats of the units. What this will do is just speed up the process of the commander's ability to get into the fight from the ground

I do think infantry players should be able to command a squad.

and my arguement is if fps players can do that then commanders should get a special fps unit

FPS player will do it in a really small scale so it'll be different
If you play Arma think of the High Command mechanic vs the normal squad commanding
FPS player will get these squads for them not be lonely when wanting to make an offensive or infiltrate somewhere
It'll also make FPS players valuable in the game
As of now, FPS player are just there and don't affect much
