Make Commander useful mid-late game

You have units and structures to both destroy and protect a commander upgrades are not nessesary and also can only be made once ... units and structures can be made basicly infinitively ...

In FA t1 units become obsolete when high tech has been deployed on the field .. what is the point in having units when they bare next to no thread to the commander? what do we want this game to be? Dota? Lol?


I rather agree with @burntcustard AS in if you want a more viable comm too just buff him than to give arbitrary upgrades

I rather like the comm to be part of a propper unitcomposition than being its own onemanarmy ...

I understand, but what is the point having commander sit and wait for its doom?
I think you are missing all concept of the commander. Commander must be a powerful unit that is able to fight back efficiently as well as forty positions with advanced tech to make your foes to be afraid of it (commander).

Currently we have a commander that can't fight back T2 tanks/bots whatever efficiently, and commander is stuck with basic tech arm that makes the commander inefficient mid-late game.

If you want com upgrades, do what I do- play Supcom. If you want smashing planets, do what I do- Play PA. If you want both, you need to be a very good at multitasking. Otherwise you are out of luck.


I guess a t2 engineering suite would be good but that's all

Says who?
those are bots .. they have no feelings .. just orders to destroy their targets
A commander is there to lead its army and to destroy everything it considers its enemy ... and why should the comm fight and risk to lose when it has adapted disposable minions to do the job?

Commander |=warrior

Say me XP

Commander is a warrior but possess unique abilities, characteristics -- that's why Commander is a Commander because it/he/she is better than a warrior.
