Tips
  • Battalions have ranks from E (lowest) to A (highest). While rank correlates with stats, some lower-ranked Battalions can be better than higher-ranked ones, especially for damage reduction.
  • Upgrading Battalion equipment increases endurance, making it harder to lose Battalion effects, though it's difficult to sustain enough damage to deplete endurance significantly.
  • Encampment upgrades increase the number of Battalions you can retain; by default, you can hold a substantial number, making this upgrade less critical unless you stockpile many Battalions.
  • The upgrade names, such as “Conduct Unskilled Negotiations,” are unique.
