Prince units (Sub-Com's)

[:1]I would like to see a prince unit (Like a sub com). He would make the units more intelligent around him, basically microing on his own and even showing some initiative. you could select him and his units and just give them a target and let them choose the most effective root and not just go down death alley and able to turn back if its just a cluster F. You could be able to slide his aggressiveness/caution. This would make the king (you) able to concentrate on strategy more at later stages of the game, rather then also microing the skirmishes which are important.
Thats what I think RTS's are missing a chain of command. Real generals/kings dont go up to frontline and personally lead all the troops.|||+1|||Coffee_Zombie|||Is it just me or does the whole "prince" sound a bit fruity..? Guess it's probably just me, since we're getting Queens in the game aswel..
Having a unit you could select with other units, then just click a target and he'll do the most efficient method of dealing with the target would make it a bit too easy, I'd say..|||to be honest; I don't want to see KNC become sim-royalty or anything. keep Kings and ditch any other titled-character.|||We suggested Lords before, Mini-experimental with leadership bonuses.|||Quote:|||one little add on to it is that instead of just a leadership bonus to their hp/Ar/attk the actual leadership bonus is the microing.|||prince, lord, generals...the general sub-commander idea has been thrown around several times, including by myself.
And i agree with the idea.|||The idea that sub-commanders would command units themselves was thrown around in SupCom1, but it never came to fruitition. I suppose making an AI do micro would be too expensive to develop and too taxing on the computer hardware.|||X-Cubed|||Whatever its called, I like the idea of having generals/support commanders. If you split up your main force, the other units wont be really weak compared to the main group (with the king)...
