A trick utilising the behaviour of early alpha hierachy behaviour. The crux was to have a idle commander that would function as a top level commander for all units. If there ever game a urgent need to pool all troops together or cancel a lot of activity the top level commander could be "activated" to make sweeping changes. The fact that the "redundant hierachy" costs trivial amount to set up in the present makes feasible to have a big "changed my mind" button for practically free (cost of 1 command).

In the current system this does not work as units try to go near their commander when idle. However if units have constantly things to do this can still be viable.
