Commanders wearing tanks on it feet = NO but add Awesome AND

You have the Commander wearing his units as Upgrades and Armor?

So what do you think of the idea of Units that Synergize with the commander by Transforming into power armor or Jetpacks for your commander.

I think if it was done right they should not be special units but have commander slots on standard Tech 2 unit.

This is like doing Commander upgrades in reverse as the commander is the upgrade.

So say you have a Tech 2 air transport. The commander could link with it making it one unit that Fly's and gets the commanders ability added to it. it could also take damage first and if destroyed the commander ejects and fights on foot until a new Tech 2 unit shows up to merge with.

Tech 2 Bots would act as replaceable mobile armor suits for the commander.
with the commander adding auto repair from his Nano-Lath and his Uber-Weapon to the bots stats maybe even a speed upgrade from the commanders power core.

This would make it like every unit was an extension of the commander and let you bunker the commander anywhere with the other units HP.

This also lets you customize the commander in the battle and if your good gives the commander the effective HP of your entire army making him hard to snipe.

It'd be a little too transformer-y. To be honest I can't imagine it looking like anything but silly.

Where do you people come up with this stuff?

More or less encapsulates my thoughts. Planetary Annihilation is an RTS in the vein of Total Annihilation and Supreme Commander, not Voltron.

Could be cool to upgrade your commanders legs into a larger tank body for more health and build power.

How can bigger legs improve your build power? :|

CnC3 had a battle walker which could consume friendly units for their gear. This is the closest thing to using other units as equipment.

A bigger powerplant for the commander?

But yeah, it was a long shot. :lol:

I think that this ability is too flexible for TA style.
