“Commander” Cursor Option

“Commander” Selection Box

• Direct your units and dominate the battlefield with style. This is a diamond-shaped texture for your selection box providing an extra option for a style-conscious Commander.

Player Avatar Icons

• Separate yourself from the pack and demonstrate your commitment to your favorite faction with two additional player icons for your avatar. Choose between key figures in the campaign–Dr. Francis from the GDF and Aleks from the Dynasty–and remind yourself of where your loyalties lie.

“Commander” Main Menu Backdrop
