An idea for much later into the games development would be that infantry players could also have a limited command aspect. Comparable to that of say....Mass Effect squad commands, or Star Wars: Republic Commando squad commands. Where you can press e to "Claim"/Recruit any unit into your command up to a balanced limit (Obviously commanding the whole army through infantry would be very difficult and not wanted for everyone to have too much power on your team). Maybe up to 5-10 units per player can be controlled in this way, Where you can move them via a control group assignment somehow, where ctrl + 1 is infantry move here Ctrl + 2 is vehicle group move here, ctrl + 3 All units move here kind of thing. It would be a way for the players that aren't commanders to have a little bit more impact and take some stress off of the rts commander.

i was thinking something similar, maybe like mount and blade, but instead of a large army, you can control few soldiers/tanks or even one sidge/goliath and give it/them, simple orders like attack, patrol or harass. You press F1 and then on 1,2,3 fast commands, because you want it to be fast.

i think he mentioned (he being Dram) that he wants to make it so fps players can order units to follow them or give small scale orders to a certain number of units, basically NCO type stuff

Wasn't sure, haven't have time to watch the 7 hour interview on youtube yet. Only got about an hour in. Really looking forward to the development of this game. Always wanted to play rts and have the option to see it in first person perspective. Kind of like Kingdom Under Fire, but that was a 3rd person persp.
