In RTS games player has way too much things to do. Player can't simply focus on everything at the same time: gathering resources, building defenses, attacking, expanding etc. Basically player has to be everywhere at the same time. This is why for example even the most awesomest battles aren't very enjoyable during the game: player has no time to enjoy the battle and no time to watch robots explode because there are so many other thing he must do at the same time. So, my idea is that we should have a game mode where all the players on the team control same units. For example, players could decide together that player1 gathers resources, player2 builds defenses and scouts and player3 focuses on attacking. Now they all can enjoy their part of the game. They can focus on one thing only and this is what makes the game more enjoyable. They can chat with each other and plan together. Of course, this idea needs a bit refining before it would work well, but it would totally be fun, at least when teaming up with friends. Comments?

Good idea but what if other players got bases to watch over themselves, then those players won't have lot of time to build their bases because they are helping you build your base. WHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW!
