High Command 1.3

- High Command mod features -
1. Commanders replaced
You can now choose commander abilities as you see fit !
This creates great tactical freedom and relieves you of having to buy any Commander DLCs.
If you ever dreamt about creating and playing your very own Commander, now you can.
Play however you want without artificial limits.

2. Officer squads
Each faction now have access to a new officer squads (for USF, Lieutnant/Captain has their functions).
Those squads can select one of 3 auras that provide bonuses to nearby troops, and have unique faction-specific support abilities. Be careful though, because if an officer dies, nearby troops will lose morale and receive temporaly penalties. Using Officer Squads adds a whole new new meta to the game and helps to further shape your own strategy.


3. New units. New upgrades. New abilities.
There are many new units in High Command.
Some of them were in the game but were only available in Theatre of War while others are completely new and unique.
Breakdown of new units for each faction:
Soviet Union - Commissar Squad, Assault engineers, HMG nest, Field Infirmary
Wehrmacht - Oberleutnant Squad, Panzer IV Ausf F1
USF - 81mm mortar squad, Rangers squad, M3 Halftrack
OKW - Goliath, Jeager snipers squad, Volksturm squad (coming soon)

4. Rebalancing the factions.
Each faction had their tech tree slightly altered. Many new units have been added to stock selection that I felt always should've been the part of their faction roster, such as T-34/85 tanks or M-10 tank destroyers for USF.
Soviet weapon crews are now much more in-line with the Axis counterparts. Some differences were maintained to ensure each faction's unique feel is preserved.
Some underperforming weapons were tweaked, such as USF Bazookas now being able to penetrate heavy tanks at point blank range.
No drastic changes have been made to any unit. They all retain their vanilla roles and feel.

As of right now the AI does not work properly in the mod (cannot tech into higher tiers), UNLESS replacing a player that has dropped. This may prove impossible to fix, but since Relic has enabled AI editing recently, I will take a good look at this and do my best to fix it.


How to select your commander abilities ?
Here is a short instruction on how to enjoy the main feature of High Command:
1. Select your engineers/rear echelon/pioneers/sturmpioneers
2. They have an ability called "Deploy command beacon". It has a green color and C as a hotkey.
3. Build your Command Beacon on your HQ territory.
4. When you click your beacon. you can see several icons with numbers. Those are categories:
Upper row has lower tier abilities, you can select up to 3 of those
Lower row has higher tier abilities, you can select up to 2 of those.
Selecting your abilities has to be done in order to progress to advanced tiers !
Almost all abilities take just 1 slot - exception is Tiger Ace, which will take both of your high-tier slots when selected.
