    Question What are your favorite Player Powers?

    What are your favorite player powers of all time?

    No matter which universe, addon or faction. Just tell us what your favorite ability does if you don't know what the name of it is. You can even include non C&C games like Battle for Middle Earth or other competitors!

    Now tell us what your favorites are! Maybe it's your idea that will be featured in the next C&C!

    PS: Player powers are abilities, players can use during a battle like reinforcements, unlocking new units, etc

    I always loved a power called "Reconnoitre" in an obscure old RTS game named Warrior Kings: Battles.
    You set a scout to this mode and they scouted random positions in the map for you, to save micro.
    Another power from the same game (I forgot the name of this particular power) caused random alerts to sound for your opponents -- e.g. "Your building is on fire!" causing them to stop microing and focus on their city, giving you time to attack or "Enemy spotted here!" causing them to send some troops to that position, weakening their main force.

    Ones that unlock units, like Hijackers, nuke cannons etc

    Cash bounty for GLA in Generals is one I really like and also stealing cash:')

    Ambushes like rebels, or in BFME you get some too

    Artillery Strikes are great, mine drops in generals.. not so much in CNC3 not as effective

    My fav though has to be anthrax drop when your playing GLA vs GLA it turns games so often :'D

    I definitely love abilities that make vehicles capturable, like ScotlanD said, think of Hijackers, Nuke Cannons, Natasha's sniping, Jarmen Kell, etc.

    I like the ones that are true support powers. EMP, Stasis field, Wormhole etc. I don't like for example artillery bombardment or A10 thunderbolt strike, although I always use them because they are very powerful. I also love paratroops, which made the century bomber my favorite unit in the Red Alert universe. GLA's ambush was also fun but paratroopers are more fun.

    My absolute favorite has to be Generals paratrooping because rangers are useful and you get a lot of them.

    Maybe not my favorite ones, or that some of them even exist, or that I completely misunderstood the question, but here I go:

    The ability to use powers like paradropping troops, or launching missles like in C&C3: TW
    The ability to choose the C&C songs I want to hear
    The ability to where I can place my constructionbar (the right or bottembar)
    The ability to chat with either allies, enemies or observers
    The ability for my units to deploy, submerge or go seaworthy
    The ability to interact with the real life actors enemies (that would be awesome ^^)
