The commanders

Choose Easy, Medium or Hard; the commander adds a distinct temperament on top of that difficulty.

Defensive

General Tomas Reinholt

The Free Cantons of Varne

Reinholt prepares ground he intends to keep. His positions reward a careless approach with a costly exchange, and his reserve waits for an opponent to reach too far.

“Choose your approach carefully. We have had time to prepare ours.”

Aggressive

Marshal Ilse Voss

The Oskarian Compact

Voss treats hesitation as ground surrendered. Her columns press the front early, forcing an opponent to choose what to defend before the base is ready.

“Choose your ground carefully. You will not get to choose it twice.”

Methodical

President-General Amara Okonkwo-Reyes

The Littoral Union

Okonkwo-Reyes builds the means before committing the force. Roads, reserves and production matter to her as much as the front; when the advance comes, it comes supplied.

“I'd rather trade with you. But I've read your file.”

Tech / intel

Chairman Kaelen Dray

The Ashford Directorate

Dray studies the approaches before making his move. He favours reconnaissance and technical advantage, looking for the position an opponent has prepared least carefully.

“I have read your record. Let's see which habits you keep under pressure.”
