Let's face it, commander is going to be underutilized without tangible benefits. The passive effects are nice, but turned out not to work out so well in practice. I think these additions would help:
-Mandatory flag spawns above commander of the team flag. Visible by both teams.
-1 buff in the vicinity of the commander
-The commander himself does not receive this buff and killing him removes it.
-An extra tick of 1.5x XP and gold if the commander wins, 0.75x XP and gold if he loses
-When a poll starts, show the commander's W/L ratio only for rounds where he was the commander
-If the commander loses the poll, he cannot raise another for 1 map (maybe 2-3 would be better).
Extra:
-Make round 1 a quick intermission for 10-30 seconds to choose the commander + warm up + horse around, allow the autobalance to function for the first actual round, and help late map loading spawners.
-Handle commander during teamswitch / round 1->2 scenarios. Never let 2 commanders be on 1 team.
-Option to relinquish leadership during the first minute. Only allow commander polls during the first minute of a round.
Why?
Incentive to use the commander system and sticking close to him with appropriate risks to applying for it.
I would like a choice of these buffs:
-Might: +1 PS
-Swiftness: +1 ATH
-Defense: +5 head, body, and leg armor
-Cavalry: +20% charge. Area of effect for buff x5
-Ranged: +15 bow+xbow+throwing wpf
I feel that this would work better than a more general buff.
There will be class wars, but choosing who gets commander will be a strategy by itself. Think of the buff as both a morale boost + the commander leading the troops more effectively to see a rise in a certain area. The other team may be disadvantaged by having no commander, but it won't really matter if the commander is inept.
Of course, I doubt many of these will be added, but I hope it gives devs any neat ideas or even add 1 or 2 things up there.

Improves teamwork, organization, balance, and makes the battle more interesting. The commander system has a lot of potential and this suggestion is definitely realizing it. Full Support!

This would be really cool, and having some basic visual stuff like a commander flag means that people who don't want to or can't read what the commander says can still follow and contribute to teamwork.

I'm all for improving the role of the commander, but I don't want two things to happen:
1. Please don't include any gimmicky buffs that make me feel like I'm raiding with a party in fucking World of cRPGcraft
2. Don't make the commander role absolutely necessary for a team.

Don't really play MMOs, although you have a point.
I was thinking more in the vein of how shield wall helps.

What if the commander got a list of voice commands that would change the active buff? Would need a long cooldown between switches.
