    I've looked everywhere, on the forums and across the web, and cannot for the life of me find any info about this. When I play skirmish against the AI (which is pretty much all I do since I absolutely suck at these games, but have fun nonetheless! :p) they always seem to pick the same handful of commanders: Centurion, Rallus, Aeson, Nemicus, and Osiris. This makes sense for some, because I haven't bought all the commanders yet. But what if I'm playing offline? What option do I need to pick, or what .ini file do I need to adjust to make the commander selection more random? I apologize in advance if this thread's already been created, please just close it if that's the case and direct me to where I need to go.

    Thanks! :)

    \media\server-script\lobby\commander_manager.js

    It chooses randomly from the default commanders variable.

    The same folder has commander_table.js which lists all the commander names. Note that you shouldn't use XenoSentryPrime because the AI will just idle with this commander.

    Changing commander_manager.js will only take effect in local server games.
