I don't understand this careless usage of the commander. Your game depends on him, yet you throw him around on a whim. Please enlighten me if I'm missing here something. I understand as long as you stick with your front troops and build mexes/fast PD's into advantageous spots, but once you send him on suicide missions..


Well, because you lose if you don't use him. If I didn't use him offensively, Eshez would've got all the extra mass points by simply moving his commander around. It's very risky but necessary. I was rather careless with mine I admit. It was mainly due to crappy scouting, I didn't see those units coming at the end.

Seriously though, on small maps you MUST use your commander offensively or you lose. Simple as that.

I think it rocks! That makes the game much more intense.

It also makes your ACU a more Heroic unit. numchuks.gif

I have to agree that offensive commi is cheap.

Personally, i would make the commi have a lot less HP and a weaker gun, but provide it with 3-4 upgrade-levels each increasing weapon and armor. I dont see a point in losing douzen of T1 units to a single unit. I think this will
get some kind of nerf/change from GPG.

The best solution would be to take away the self-repair from the commi, but make it a mid-game upgrade.

It also makes a large portion of small maps end in a draw sad.gif.

RDon curses me when i use offensive commander against him wink.gif


but imo, offensive commander is the only way to go

i've always used it, and i always will.

I led UEF forces to victory back in earlier versions against stupid mantis spam!! UNITE!

i have a few new theories on how to use offensive commander now smile.gif i can only hope i can test them in the near future smile.gif

Polita would have won had she kept advancing her assault bots. Eshez left his comm way out front w/o any backup. Lost oppurtunity right there.

1st, my nick is not Polita it's Poita (no L) which is Australian slang for Peter (my name)
2nd, I'm a guy

Why do so many people call me Polita? Where the hell does that L come from?

I think I'm gonna have to change my nick.
