Did Andy tell about 1 new commander per faction or two? From what i remember there was suppose to be 2. But then i imagine that the first commander is made by community and second by balanceteam

You are confused.

"The first of these updates will be a Commander Revamp, in which we’re aiming to tune up two commanders per faction. We’ll be asking the community which commanders should receive this facelift, and be looking for open discussion on how they can be made better. An expert team will help evaluate and refine ideas, and bring them to the game.

Our second update should be super cool. Each faction in the game will be receiving a brand new commander! In a nutshell, community members will be invited to submit ideas, outlining the theme, units and abilities, and how this commander would improve the faction. We’ll be using these suggestions as inspiration! Again, a community panel will be helping to weigh up the best ideas, test things out, and make necessary changes.

Both of these updates will revolve around units and abilities already in the game (either multi player or single player). However, there’s still plenty of room to get creative. American mortar for the new British doctrine? Possible. Panzer II in the new Wehr doctrine? Could be! Disclaimer - These are the crazy ideas of a Community Manager – pinch of salt."

I am not sure if you guys have seen this but if not please check it out as I do believe that there are a fair few commanders here that have the potential to offer something new and interesting for the game: https://www.coh2.org/topic/81230/new-commander-concepts

Pls copy paste your ideas again in the offical threads.

I will edit all my suggestions with descriptions and backgrounds later.


Thanks and GG.

Yeah sure, you can edit your thread as much as you want until the 25th january.

Happy New Year COH Fans!

We hope you’ve had a great Holiday Season, and that you’ve been enjoying the Commander Revamp Update!

We’ve been assessing player reception, and we’re aiming to release a tuning patch to address a few bugs and overpowered units *Cough* Jaeger Heavy Infantry, *Cough* Super Assault Engineers, amongst other items. We hope to release this patch within the next few weeks.

Now, it’s time for us to start working on the next update for the game! For those of you that don’t know, last year we announced that each faction would receive a brand-new Commander, and that the community would have a say in what those Commanders should be! What’s more, these Commanders will be free for everyone in celebration of the game’s fifth anniversary year!

We are pleased to announce that the submissions process for the New Commander Update is now open!

Process Overview

• Players are invited to submit their proposals (more on that below).
  
• Submissions will close on January 25th.
  
• The Community Balance and Mod Team will assess proposals and pick the most promising as a basis to work from.
  
• The balance team will present the two best proposals per faction for community voting. The wider community will be allowed to vote for their favorite selected commander for each faction.
  
• The Community Team will discuss, test and iterate on the winning proposals.
  
• When we feel designs are refined enough, we will release the first mod for wider community testing and feedback.
  
• Subsequent mods will be released based on said feedback.
  
• Once we’ve reached Good Spot ™ status, we will start creating the live build for this update.
  
• We are currently targeting this update for April/ May implementation.
  

Submission guidelines

• Each player can submit one proposal per faction. Please use the appropriate threads on coh2.org or on relic offical forum. These threads are for submissions only.
  
• Discussion of submissions should take place in separate threads so that submissions are easy to reference.
  
• Players must only use units, abilities or assets which already exist in the game, and are fully functional. (The Hetzer is not an option as it is missing animations.)
  
• Some players have asked about captured equipment. This is a possibility but should be sensible, and thematically / historically appropriate.
  
• If you have already submitted an idea elsewhere, please repost to the official threads.
  

Requirements and Rational

Please detail the following in your submissions;
