Commanding MMORPG RTS

This is a game where you try to raise as large an army as possible. You start out in command of one avatar, the group leader, and four soldiers. You can write AI scripts for your soldiers. These scripts are called orders. You have default orders, and different commands that you can order soldiers with. You can also jump into any soldier you command. You have a default AI script for your avatar when you are not commanding it.

If the avatar you are commanding at any time dies, that's it. No more.

If you so desire, you can pledge allegience to another group leader. A group leader who commands other group leaders is called a commander. Your commander can then issue you commands, which, of course, are AI scripts. You can choose to follow them or not. Also, the commander can take control of your avatar at any time, and you cannot prevent this. The commanders avatar is then left to its default AI scripts.

A commander can in turn command any soldier of a group leader that they command. This allows commander to jump into any unit they command. They can also jump back up the hierarchy at any point. But it is still dangerous to jump into units; if you die in any unit, your original avatar is left to his AI scripts.

However, when you come back with a new avatar, other players are still free to pledge allegiance to you.

The idea is to command ever larger armies though politics and allegiances. Try to get people to defect and fight for you.
