Unit Orders

Orders are how you tell your troops to behave and where to go. Orders are normally given by your General. The General issues orders to a group of people whom he wants to attack or move, or defend, etc. Those orders come down in the form of a message to the list of Troop Leaders he selects. Each noble has the right to take the orders and do with them as they wish. However, it is general practice to follow your General's orders, or you could recieve fines, bans or even be executed.

The General is the supreme commander of the Military, but there are also Marshals whom can take command of the battle field for the ones who report to them.

You issue a unit order under "Paperwork" where you tell your troops weather they are Army, Vanguard, Police, etc. You also tell them to line up in the front, middle, back or way back. In that area you can also have them be Agressive, Normal, Defensive or Evasive. All of these settings are critical for every battle that is fought.

An enemy army who well orchestrates their unit orders or "Line Settings" as they are commonly called, can beat an army that outnumbers them. In some cases, a General may want to set their lines to stagger, so that some troops are in the first row, some in the second, and others in the third. This allows for less casualties when fighting a much larger enemy. And, if the enemie is larger and their line settings are set incorrectly, it is possible to defeat them.
