    I recently read the story of the chess duel between human and machine .
    As is well known , the human player finally lost .
    But there is something that can win at chess both with the best human and the best machine .
    It turned out that at present the most effective is the tandem of human and computer .

    And here 's my idea to increase the number of people potentially interested in PA .

    The game assisted by AI.
    Playing on the same basis as teamplay now , with the difference that only one Commander.

    I see it like this:
    AI is doing his job . Player has the ability to intervene at any time and place but: any unit or structure , on which a player takes control even once , it will not come back under the control of AI. The idea is that the AI did not change our decision.
    Of course , a person can once again restore the AI control over the unit or structure.

    The player can control the army, leaving the expansion for the computer, or take control of a group of fabs and realize their vision. He can also control the production in factories etc. It can also do nothing :) his choice.
    This would offer for players who can not cope with the size of the PA skirmishes, and are exposed to constant disappointment.

    I think that the implementation of such functionality should not requires a great deal of work. Of course, as regards the simplest form.
    On the other hand, I've never seen anything like this. Perhaps for many players who will never reach a satisfactory level of play, it would be helpful.


    Please be tolerant about my language :).

    I would be very happy if this were to be implemented. I love strategy games, but PA is just a little out of my skill zone (I still love it though) and stepping in to make key decisions or leading an attack would be very nice.
