    One of the awesome things about Galactic War is the ability to find and use multiple subcommanders. But playing today with the new patch I located a subcommander but could not use him due to 'duplicate tech'.

    Is there now a limit, or is this a bug?

    Notes:
    This is an old GW, but playing today with new patch.
    Two subcommanders currently deployed do not have the same name as the new one.
    Yes I had an empty slot available.

    Do you already have a commander Pompey?

    As I don't believe you are allowed clones in GW, as they would be the same 'card' so it were.

    Negative.

    I looked for that specific problem, none of the commander names were duplicates.

    Then it's either a bug, or there is a limit on SubComs.

    There is currently a limit on Sub Commanders. If you play a new war, you won't be offered a Sub Commander if you already have one.

    Are we looking a a temporary limit until you do some more GW magic, or is the limit a balancing decision?

    Because I can understand either. ;)

    This is very sad news.
    I hope that this decision is reconsidered.

    If the Faction Commanders have multiple sub commanders, why would I not have the same option?

    Sad news indeed, i too hope the limit was lifted. But as far as i have seen, enemy never has more than 2 commanders on the homeworlds and just the 1 commander on other worlds, when playing on normal difficulty at least.

    #BringBackUnlimitedSubComs

    Well, I say unlimited; 3 Sub Coms would be fine, given how rare they are

    It is a temporary limit. @tvinita didn't have time to balance it. There will probably be some limit, but it *probably* won't stay at one for very long.
