1. Companions system 2. Teams

1. Mobs companions system

Because Jupiter creates the animal companions system I propose to add the normal races companions aswell.
The power and number of companions would be based on the attribute Will Power.
And the system would have a few commands for the companions:
a. Follow
b. Charge
c. Shoot/Stop shoot
d. Hold
e. Return

The main trick is how to add to the target more than one char/monster?

2. Team system

I propose the option to invite players to the together team and create for the team leader a small gui in the corner to send commands to the teammates. The commands would be seen as the normal text in the text bar. It's because during a fight it's easier just to click a button than type a text.
Commands:
a. Follow
b. Charge
c. Shoot/Stop shoot
d. Hold
e. Scout
f. Return

Or some others too or instead.

[EDIT] Because some people don't understand. The system doesn't turn party members into a npcs. The party leader just sends a command by clicking a button. The command is seen on a text bar as a text and the party members can decide by their acting if they follow the command.

Team might be a good idea.

But I don't like the idea of NPC buddies
Could reduce team RP

Feels like a big step towards other games who have ping-systems. And while I like their use in other games, I don't think that it would fit into the immersion of Illarion to have chars ping something on the map.
