Squad Leader Archive

I'm not a SL I just came into this board cause of thought of something. I think that Squad Leaders should be able to call in reinforcements. This could be spread into a tree, at the first level you can call one or two reinforcements to help for a short amount of time. Depending on your faction they would be stormies, rebels or just plain old mercs. AS you move up the tree you get to call in more troops for a longer amount of time. So when a SL doesn't have a group he makes his own. AS of now there is nothing that would make me actually want to group with a SL based on his/her skills.

Great Idea. A sort of VERY temporary assist. With each climb of the tree, you get 1 more, and they last for an extra 10-15 seconds. Master SLs could have 5 guys run in outta no-where and do minor damage, healing, etc. Just imagine how great that would befor a retreat.

I don't "seek out" to group with any prof in particular, myself. The more the merrier in my opinion. My friends like the bonuses I give them though. It's not alot but it's something extra. I guess they should refuse them since the bonuses don't make them gods, but oh, well. We don't need pets. we need methods of better organizing our group and managing threats in battle. there are many innovative ideas being posted on this board. We should really give them some thought, instead of yelling for pets and "stuff". you guys want this prof to be unique and desireable. that can be done without making ourselves military Creature Handlers. And it would be pathetic if we allowed that to happen to a prof with so much potential.

in my humble opinion SL's special actions and abilities are worthless. The HAM cost is too high and it doesn't effect the group with nearly the quality and regularity I would accept. Still, Its all about the TITLE. Even the title of Novice Squad Leader means you can use the /sys command and that is the only thing I use. With a group, its all about direction. They need direction. They PINE for direction. And direction is impossible to make into a pre-set action - it calls for an accurate reading of the field, or a carefully laid out plan, or even teams within a group. That last one is my favorite bty. I love calling out something like:

/sys \#0000ff\ BLUE team \#ffffff\ proceed to wp \#00ff00\ ALPHA \#ffffff\ and attack the \#ff0000\ EASTERN BASE \#ffffff\ !!!!

That just looks sick on the screen if you ask me.
