Tara/General

The general is the authority for organising the troop leaders of their realm and giving military orders. These may vary from line settings for battle, to suggested units to recruit, to organising region militia.

As the highest authority for military matters in Tara, he/she is responsible for seeing that all troop leaders have correct settings, manage their units correctly and can seize the strategic initiative when needed. Usually, it is up to the general whether to loot an enemy region, however only the judge has the authority to enforce punishment for such infringements. Choosing to recruit a specific type of unit is one of a troop leader's inalienable rights. However, many generals offer suggestions on what are good units, and request a message if any troop leader has any inquiries.

The General can opt to manage large numbers of troop leaders form battlegroups under the command of trusted lieutenants (not an official position) , or Marshals (official position) which then answer to him. This allows the general to concentrate on a larger scale and leave the micromanagement of forces to others.
