Seems a pretty good idea, or at least it clearly identifies a real problem. I have doubts Fizzer will implement it though, as it will make the game more complicated for newbs. :-(

Voted.

Voted! Let's try to improve commanders with babysteps since it is used on the ladders and still has improvement potential

Good idea, but out of votes.
