Running a party of six players is trivial in today's MMOGs. Everyone is accustomed to groups this size, and communicating within them. But what happens when you bring a massive number of people together? How do you organize? How do you issue orders? How do you tell people where to go, or to stop doing something and focus on another task?
Enter the Crusade Command System (CCS). This is a hybrid system that blends the ability to issue orders in an almost RTS fashion to party members, Commanders of Battalions, and Overlords of Legions. Granted all members of a "group" have the option of following an order or not, the issue more exists in the ability to receive and carry out those orders.
