Nations

Seven banners

Six armies to command, and the Magnate Familia, which you can only fight. Every nation has its own uniforms, units, music and superweapon.

How to read the cards

Every army has five standard unit types: infantry, anti-cavalry, cavalry, artillery and a powder wagon. Its other units are its specialities, and only the Coalition and the March share troops from Meissen.

Costs and command points come from the current build of the game. The balance may change before release.

On the battlefield

Who beats whom

Uniforms and names change, but the rules stay the same. Every army plays by the same laws and stands out through its prices, its pace and its own specialities.

  • Infantry

    Stops cavalry with a frontal volley; wrecks guns up close.

  • Cavalry

    Infantry struck in the flank or rear takes ×2.5 damage. Unprotected guns stand no chance.

  • Artillery

    Area fire on dense ranks and buildings. Helpless up close.

  • Anti-cavalry

    +300% against cavalry. Dragoons and fusiliers at once; chevaux-de-frise, swine feathers, palisade and square after standing still for 1.5⁠–⁠3 s.

Guards hold formation: a cavalry charge into their flank deals ×1.3 instead of ×2.5. So does any unit that has earned the Elite rank in battle. In a held settlement, and for Grenzers in woods too, every charge counts as frontal.
