Quick notes

Use the regional name mapping. Days of Ruin and Dark Conflict rename several characters.

Use Lin for controlled ground fighting. Lin strengthens ground units and has a reconnaissance-oriented power.
Read each CO's exceptions. Commanders differ in zone size, favored units and power effects.
