The idea is.. in essence.. really simple.
The commanders of the many squads on a map can team up for better communication.

What I had in mind is, the commander is still leading a 50-squad like normal, but he can see the bars of allied commanders at the top of the list, along with a number of their members.

Retroactively, the commanders can choose to see all dots on the map, while individual players continue to see a squad as is, unless they toggle master squad on.
Maps that are designed like HoT’s maps are quite often a mess, people don’t distribute themselves well, and one of the causes which is most clearly shown in TD is the endless chat “how many people are at boss X” “how many people are at lane X”

This way, commanders have a better grip on organizing the bigger meta events. and there isn’t really a con to the system because it’s 100% optional. there’ll be 4 squads in TD and AB, 3 in DS, and several small ones in VB.

This system will benefit the core game as well, Tequatl, for example, always has 4 small squads. In this system anyone can quickly see where there’s a shortage of players in one group
