Commshare! How do I even...

I would like to play a game where one player (strategic command) starts with no units, and just gives orders to the other players, who all share command.

Is there a way to do this?

Doesn't that mean that I no longer am able to share control of the unit with him, though?

As to the cats, I don't herd them.
I scoop them.

BA used to have some !coop command, maybe someone could implement that

If you manage to find the player ID's. It can be done with /cheat and then all players doing a "/team X" command. Where X is one of the player ID's on your team.

You should share your commander to that same player before you do this though.

Well, at least I'll be able to do it, then.

Cheats it is.

If cheats are enabled in game, though, won't that mean that the game does not affect our ELO?

Springie used to allow comshare ages ago! All it needs to do is bring back the old !id command in a simplified form, e.g. "!comshare sprang" which would be equivalent to old "!id sprung [ID of sprang's team]", perhaps only allowing it if the target is a clanmate (to disallow abuse like taking over newbies, strengthen clan teamwork and simplify stuff) and then when fixing shared IDs on start just skip the ones that are clanmates comsharing.

Now, that would be pre-game comshare. Ingame dynamic comshare is harder because engine doesn't support it apart from the aforementioned cheats and it would also need changes to lots of existing stuff because many gadgets assume that teams are set in stone which'd become untrue.
