    I have had some problems with people self destructing all of a teams commanders. Where can I report these people, if possible at all?

    atm there is no report function or ban or similar.

    the best solution atm is to not play teamgames with people you dont know, or at least not with poeple who dont talk to you before a game or within (per chat or skype etc.)

    I think they should be denied access to beta.

    You could try the playerRep mod. It allows you to upvote/downvote players so you can avoid people that annoy you. I'm not sure if it still works though.

    People spent $60 to troll this game.. wow.

    I've done the commander rush.. but I had like no choice, 2 v 2 partner leaves.. no way I can compete with the mental power of two people late game.. I rushed them with ants and my commanders.. it almost worked too!

    Commander rush is a tactic and is fine....he is talking about your own team mate fiddling around, dont jack crap, talking smack in a game, and then hitting self destruct on your commander in the middle of your own base

    Its happened only once to me, it will get worse when the game gets cheaper or hits a steam sale lol

    Someone always move my commander and assume its his.

    Best thing to do is have a different commander type and then inform them that you are taking that commander. Reasonable people should respect that.

    There are also some players who think they have to insult all other. I realy played only 6 or 7 games and hit two guys who insulted me. Maybe they think that they can do all such stuff as there isn't a ban function at the moment.

    Sometimes people use 'c' to select their commander and don't realize they are selecting ALL the commanders on the team.

    Maybe the hotkey should be changed to only select the commander that is yours? That way people can use that key to differentiate their commanders.

    This should be a high-priority fix...seriously, I didn't even know that the c-hotkey did this in team games. Granted, I never use the c key really, but...

    The game Neptune's Pride (now named Triton) has a great system for rewarding players. You gain renown points as you play and win or place in games. You can't use them yourself but you can give them to other players and them to you. Players hand out point for good sportsmanship, good play, or cooperation.

    A system like that except with negative point as well might serve. You can either reward a player for good play, good sportsmanship by give them positive points or give the negative score for ragers, griefers, etc.

    This,,,, I thought it just grabbed one commander....normally I just double tap C to get my camera fixed on one, and mostly only for 1v1 but i have done that in 2v2 just to get my view straight or if we spawned together

    I love that idea, but then you would have the trolls handing out negative on every game to counter it :(

    We are going to lock individual commanders down to individual players so they can't do this.

    I will say if you are playing on the same army as someone they should be a good friend ;)

    I don't think locking commanders to players would be wise. It would only make griefers/trolls suicide everything else. That is in my opinion much more frustrating than when someone suicides your commander. Also it is fairly common to see someone controlling multiple commanders in clan games. However this could be allowed by a mod if you are really going to lock the commanders to players.

    I think griefers/trolls can be only prevented by alliances.
