COMMANDERS - how?
hi, i'm new with wog. i installed the latest 3.57 and i don't udnerstand how the commander works. I get it that it's part of a hero, the commander levels up and stuff... but the prob is i can't seem to hire them. i click the hero and i click the commander icon and "cannot hire hero" shows up. i click a dwelling and the same response comes up when I hire them.
Where do i hire commanders and how? Who exactly are these commanders? are they dwellings from the town or heroes too?? Please help! I've been uninstalling and installing hom3.

Have you turned the commanders on in the wog options?

Your hero must be in town. Then you go to the hero screen and click the yellow hands.

In order to start with a Commander you must meet the following conditions:
1. Commanders enabled in WoG Options screen *or* enabled in the specific map you're playing with an ERM script.
2. If not enabled with a specific map script, the map must be WoGified *or* it must be of WoG format but NOT contain any scripts.
If you're playing an existing WoG map that DOES have scripts, and you don't have a Commander, it means that Commanders aren't enabled in that map. This may be because it's an older map or the mapmaker may intentionally have disabled Commanders. I don't think any of the WoG Campaigns will let you use Commanders, for example, and any scripted WoG map won't unless updated.
If you wish to use Commanders in a WoG map that includes scripts, you must add the following to a Timed Global Event in the map (set the event not to occur..set it's day number to 500 or something and/or set it so that it won't apply to any players):
ZVSE
!#UN 3/0;
This should enable Commanders in the map.
For a WoGified map (or a WoG map without scripts), if you want heroes to be able to hire Commanders but not initially start with them, you must also select that option in the WoG Option screen (the optinon is right below the one enabling Commanders).
If you want this on a map with scripts, use the following in a timed event (instead of the one for starting with Commanders):
ZVSE
!#UN6/1;
!#UN3/0;
If you have Commanders in the game and your Commander dies, you will be automatically prompted to revive the Commander as soon as you enter a town for a certain amount of gold (at higher Commander levels you need a Mage Guild of high enough level).
If you set it so that you need to hire Commanders or you dismiss your hero's Commander, visiting any town will automatically prompt you to hire one for a set cost in gold (I don't recall the amount but I think it's similar to the cost of hiring a hero).

Note: the smilies ( ) in the above post are supposed to be a colon followed by a P.
In other words:
ZVSE
!#UN: P6/1;
!#UN: P3/0;
(but remove the space after the colon)

You don't click on the hands to hire a commander - the help text is a bit misleading in that regard. Just close the town screen, select your hero who's standing in a town gate, and press space. Alternatively, leave and re-enter the town. In both cases you'll get a popup that asks you whether you want to hire a commander.
Btw, I think it's better to start a new thread than reviving a five year-old one. Threads of such age may have information that's long obsolete and may be confusing or misleading now. It's not a big deal, I just thought I'd mention it.
