    Ponty  I would really love you to update this . Tried it today and I'm loving it .... Its a Knight from Oblivion.... but way more fun in Skyrim. I'm thinking of being an Imperial who left the Legion to help command the Stormcloaks... maybe :) Illusion for the win :)

       Even though I have never tried Commander, this is probably my favorite  of all of Ponty's Builds.

    This build looks incredibly fun, but if you don't mind me asking, do you suggest focusing more on Fears, Calms, or Furys? I can't decide which really fits the "theme" of it, because they all seem to really be good choices for this sort of character to me.

    Edit: Seeing as how this build revolves around being a "Leader" type, could you suggest followers to take?

    I tend to focus more on Fury spells, gives you more of a feel of commanding a larger force. Fear spells are okay too (given you have to get the fear perk to go up to Aspect of Rage). As for followers, it's more of an anything goes kind of thing - any type of follower can be useful. I used some mercenaries and Lydia for my playthrough - you're not super tough given you have to have the magicka for costly illusion spells and such.

    I should totally replay and overhaul this.

    I like the changes mate, it's a classic guts n glory build this one but sometimes the simple ones are the most fun!

    I really liked the 'What kind of commander are you?' section, that one touch really gives a fairly one dimensional build a ton more scope!

    +1

    I like it now...

    I have a suggestion, you may not like it because it uses light armor but anyway, here it is.

    Thalmor Commander - Elven with Elven Greatsowrd. Follower: Kharjo, the Khajiit are strong supporters of the Thalmor

    Skill Change: You may have noticed I changed it up with his armor being a Light Armor, for one reason; the thalmor's main infantry armor is Elven.
