Quick notes

  • National armies share unit types. Commanders change price, damage and power effects rather than creating wholly different standard unit rosters.
  • Colin changes spending decisions. Discounted production supports more units, but normal attacks are weaker.
  • Lash rewards terrain awareness. Terrain is not merely defensive for her.
  • This is a key-CO selection. The full roster includes returning and new specialists.
