General Missions Guide
General Missions, also known as General Operations, are crucial tasks undertaken via the War Table to bolster the Inquisition's influence and resources. These missions are assed by your advisors and offer several rewards, including Influence, crafting materials, and even unique schematics. Prioritizing these missions can significantly impact your progress, unlocking new areas, strengthening your forces, and improving your standing in Thedas.
The War Table is your central hub for managing these operations. Each mission has a specific time requirement, a Power cost, and prerequisites that must be met before it can be initiated. Understanding these requirements is key to efficiently completing them and maximizing your gains. Some missions are time-sensitive or tied to specific story progression, so it's wise to check the War Table regularly.
The rewards are categorized into three main types: Forces, Secrets, and Connections. Forces rewards typically enhance your military might and troop capabilities. Secrets rewards often involve uncovering hidden knowledge, obtaining rare artifacts, or improving your espionage efforts. Connections rewards focus on strengthening your diplomatic ties, gaining favor with factions, and improving your overall influence.
