There's a lot of other type of commander modes for MNB -- I've played like 4 or something -- and in none of those have I ever seen a Commander chase the other teams bots or commanders, not once. Especially in the Napoleonic Wars DLC, where you as a Commander both have projectile weapons and excellent swords available. Never experienced a single issue ever.
Not once.In all of those mods you die from basically one melee hit though, where-as with ranged hits you usually take less damage to diminish the randomness of a out of the blue headshot.
All Commanders have cloth armors. CRPG Commander is the only one I've seen with plate/high-end armor.
IMO, I think it is equally silly to ride around bumping bots and kiting, as to just having a weapon.
At the moment in CC (
) people ride around bumping each others bots 24/7, kiting, fist bumping across factions and what not.
All that would stop if there was a real chance of the Commander dying, which there isn't at all at the moment except for getting caught or random headshot.
Give Commanders cloth armor and a 1 handed weapon in mid end.
I say
let's test it, if it doesn't work, sure no problem remove it, else let us at least see if it works better, just for a short while. It works great in the other mods out there so why not here.
At the very least let's get rid of the plate armor to discourage people bumping and kiting.
