I have always played chess tournements unter the USCF and on there website the rules state, "If a pawn advances all the way to the opposite end of the board, it is immediately ├óÔé¼┼ôpromoted├óÔé¼┬Ø to another piece, usually a Queen." Here (PDF Warning)
"Usually," bacause you can chose another piece, but most people don't.

you aren't
the com is just another robot under the control of a non-localised AI (YOU) it is however very valuable (lose it in a mission and the ground u take is not worth it). Besides if he WAS the centralised AI...the scaling means that a Factory or tier 2 unit would be able to hold the same amount of stuff (taking into account com needs extra space for metal/energy production and backpack for Dgun)...which means as long as u had one of those u would be able to continue...
What are you smoking? In the original TA when you hover your mouse above your commander it even states YOUR NAME. Meaning it's YOU! Chris Taylor always wanted that the player is represented in the game! And i read in some interview that it will be like that in Supreme COmmander too!

And about your scaling stuff that a factory should hold metal/energy that is bs. the Commander has his backpack for that!!

And it's the You (Commander) which is controlling the units... so if YOU are Death, who is controling the units?

Central conscious is. Though the commander is, like it states, is the commander of your units.

Well, since we can't easely agree with this point, it's a good thing we have both options.

'Go' is a very old Chinese board game.

Chris Taylor has specifically said that the commander is the representation of the player on the battlefield.

Min3mat, learn to use quotes, its wery hard to read your posts and to know what you responded to.

That said, I like comm continues, and com bombs dont bother me to much, its usually a great injection of free metal, the only downside is that it takes ages to reclaim.
