Battle System {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/42555519/d297324f3748a8ef35d6049ca9ced0f94b668ea3.jpg The battle system is now changing. While previously the outcome of a battle was determined with a single click, you will now be able to issue commands to your soldiers, observing the consequences and gains before making a decision. This system allows for varying strategies based on your soldiers, your commander, and the villages and cities you are attacking. It's crucial to analyze your potential gains and losses well, and focus on winning the battle!
