Squad Leader Archive

The questions was asked: What do the changes have to do with what we asked for? A lot of people asked for paint guns to highlight targets, we get the ability to switch people to our targets. A lot of people asked for formations, we got formations. I usually stayed silent when I saw the suggestions because I figured they weren't worth arguing with. I guess I just need to be more vocal when fluff is asked for because now its going to be granted.

If we aren'tcareful about what we ask for we'll be stuck with twirly guns and holsters, just like the pistoleers (my other profession.)

My suggestion to the people of this board: Ask for substantive abilities. Think about SL in terms of what a Doc can do, what a master pistoleer can do, what a combat medic can do, what a Master CH can do. We are laughingly underpowered compared to other professions. I talked with a master dancer last night and it turns out if I watched her for 20 minutes my mind would have been buffed an extra 500! An additional 500 mind with no ill effects from spice! Not sure how long the buff lasts, but that is just awesome.

What can WE do? I and others have been over the lame abilities we get. What SHOULD a Squad Leader be able to do for a group that is in line with ressurecting dead people, range AOE heals, huge Mind Buffs, AE KD (for now.) The list goes on and on. We should be able to do SOMETHING. Making someone get in formation, telling them they can't shoot, giving them a little extra dmg if they are in a 20 person group...this is all BS!
