Buying more Commanders?

Will we be able to buy more commanders later on? Meaby not the Kickstarter Commanders, because they are a "special" reward, but I would like to see some DLC commanders, or meaby a way to paint commanders in game. Like the army painter in DoW/DoW2.

I'm almost sure that I remember Uber confirming this..
I might be crazy though

Wow, really a pay to win scheme. Let me guess, they will all be balanced right? How do you balance a apple and a orange. You can cut them to weigh the same but the density will be different. I foresee being destroyed by a enemy i can never understand because i can never play as them. The true champions will be who pays the most. It was simple recognition for supporting the game when the commander was a skin. Now it has evolved into what? You pay for increase chance of winning. Significant amount of these paying players have expressed their opinions to keep it as a skin. This will destroy your ranked community. Even if it balance you will always have the element of suprise because no one will be able to see what abilites your using and know excatly they do. This is Madness

Or these fancy pay for commanders could just be skins...

Why so negative 1158511? Why the constant nay-saying?

just some short points on the balance discussion:
- balanced != equal (or you could just call it equal )
- 1 Unit vs hundreds (+ other not unit based differences) => game balance != 1 vs.1 unit balance

you always could read up on the differences and options.
Thankfully, there are more ways of learning than just "learning by doing".

"Madness...?"
"This is Sparta!"

(nice quote)

There are smilies for "This is Sparta"? I find that more important than this thread.

He never said ANYTHING at all about the commanders that you buy having different powers and abilities and being anything more than just a skin. You're charging in ranting about how much you hate his idea, but all you've done is create some weird assumptions that what he's talking about is the thing you don't want and therefore you must go ahead and rant about it. Please don't assume someone's meaning before replying.

The OP did not mention anything regarding unique abilities and you charge in like the light brigade talking about pay to win. What WAS mentioned was "Maybe a way to paint commanders in game. Like the army painter in DoW/DoW2"

Which is something a few threads have discussed at some length that people dont hold issue with. If anyone is interested in some of the ideas on that topic:http://forums.uberent.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=61&t=38293

i will totally sell my preorder commander spares to whining bitches.

Honestly, I think a few should be auctioned off to charity.

Or have a buy-in tournament (where the proceeds go to charity), and the winner takes a custom commander home. I may be a bad RTS gamer, but I'd definitely throw in a few dollars for a good cause. Added advantage; it'd be fun too!

I could see myself buying skins for charity.

Since the game is Mod Supported, you can bet there will be mods that do just that.

Course, they wont be professional grade like the other Commanders that you actually pay for. XD

sorry at first I wanted try to argument something against you but this sounds so .... directly that i only can say.. dont feed the troll.

I think all the beta and Alpha and any pay DLC commanders should be weaker then the standard Commander. So winning with a Special commander gives you bragging rights. As if you just won a game 2 on 1.

I don't want special Commanders to be different, because I may like one more than the others, and as thus play only with this one. The problem is, it may very well be the standard one, and I want to play with the Progenitor and the Alpha as well when I decide to, without having for that to play with a Commander that I like less.

And there's that:

[*]There were actually some attempt to argue this after I posted this, if you can believe it. Which was after twenty pages of heated debate, so the point still stands.

It seems a bit flawed to state that contrary comments posted after your comment on page 20 were irrelevant. I dont mean to pass judgement on your part in that debate (at least not until I have read more of the thread), but it strikes me as a bit unfair to the people making reasoned arguments for and/or against the idea.

Sooo...you don't want to have different aspects to different commanders because you might have some indecision as to which one to use in a match?

[Edit] I should probably also mention that the OP doesnt seem to be talking about commander abilities, more visual customisation or buying of skins. Which is a nice offshoot from all the heated debate on unique commander abilities.

You want the Alpha and Progenitor commanders to be WEAKER? Gtfo. Alot of people pay money for a good commander. Not for anything weaker.

I certainly don't want them to be stronger.

Just remember, those with special commanders will always have the option to not use them. It's not like they're at a permanent handicap.

tough titties.

Exactly. If there's something he doesn't like, He should learn to mod and make the changes himself. Am I right?
