Acronyms Used by the Game

These acronyms are actually used in the game, so you will see them when you play. Here's a probably incomplete list of the acronyms that you'll see fly around while playing Battlemaster.

Classes

In the troop leader list, the character classes are abbreviated using the first letter of the class name (i.e. S = Soldier, T = Trader, H = Hero, etc.).

Troop Types

Troop types are sometimes designated using their first letter (i.e. I = Infantry, A = Archers, etc.) and sometimes with the longer format:

  • Inf - Infantry
  • MI - Mixed Infantry
  • Arch - Archers
  • Cav - Cavalry
  • SF - Special Forces

Others

  • CS - Combat Strength
  • OOC - Out Of Character, not speaking as your character, but as a player (e.g. about your real life).


Acronyms Used by the Community

These acronyms were invented by the community. They are not used by the game itself, but you will likely see them in messages, on the discussion list or here on the Wiki.

  • BM- BattleMaster. That one's simple.
  • TL - Troop Leader. A player character.
  • TO - Takeover
  • IC - In Character, speaking as your character, the opposite of OOC above
  • Buro - shortcut for the character class bureaucrat.
