General

• You can customize your soldier from within the UI by selecting either the icon on Home or on Soldier
• If the squad leader ignores requests for orders the leadership is transferred to another member of the squad.

• When the 60 seconds pass, the first member in the squad queue (the one who requested order earliest) is promoted as a squad leader. If there are other members in the queue after him, the timer is automatically reset to 60 seconds and if the new leader doesn’t give orders over that period either, then the next waiting in line is promoted and so on.
