My Ideas.

- Battle Management System or a Strategic interface for Commander - you can set WPs to another groups. You click in a symbol to mark a group and give orders. A player can be a Master Commander.

- Artilharia and CAS. You will buy like Support Pack (available in Edditing center). The support only spawn and are not present for so long.

- buy delivery: truck, chopper, para-drop (C-130). They will spawn like Support Pack.

- Join Group/transfer troops. You call reinforcement. You cant tell the troops to join your troops. Command Engine have this option.

- jump to battle. You are looking the map or BMS waiting the groups to contact the enemy. Than you choose to command that group in first person (or command like a RTS).

- A Dynamic AI Creator. AI only spawn when enemy are in contact.

- Join game.

- Safe zone optional. The enemy cannot attack your base. The game are concentrated in take cities.

- set multiple WP to groups. A chopper will not overfly the enemy.

- UAV to make recce missions. You set WP and watch the videos.

- Limited troops number like 8-12 groups or 6-12 troop´s groups. You buy reinforcement/groups and vehicles. You can choose what control with "jump to battle". Another option is upgrade (regular => rangers => deltas ) and buy artillary.

- A groups of very small islands with a big map (100x100km) to command ships and make landings = Conquer the islands. This will be a naval battle.

- Unit replacemente editor. You can choose what troops or addons to use and. The player will choose wath config they wants.

- Limited objectives like control a groups of towns to play fast games, or a Epectro's battlefronts ideas.

- Play in Resistence side.

Yeah, not sure if this has been mentioned, but does everyone have to play on one side in these games? Can some of us not go to the East side? If it is East v West, that is...

With this revelation about this 'Only 1 Commander Who Is Not In Game' thing, will the CTI boys be able to edit it so that it is possible for there to be a commander who can move around in game?
