Master of Command-Skidrow

After marching your army into a region, you’ll enter a procedurally generated landscape, obscured by the fog of war and navigated in real-time. Your goal is to locate and destroy the enemy’s main encampment. What lies between you and that objective is different every time: villages, ambushes, battlefield wreckage, wounded survivors, or roaming enemy forces. Terrain affects how fast your army moves, how quickly provisions are consumed, and what kind of battlefield you’ll face if attacked. Enemy armies react to your presence, sometimes pursuing, other times reinforcing, or lying in wait. No two campaigns unfold the same way, and no two armies you’ve led end up alike.

Throughout the campaign, you’ll pass through towns and villages offering a chance to recruit fresh troops, trade for supplies, or offload captured equipment. Some locations specialize in certain goods: artillery, munitions, horses, or officers, while others are picked clean or too wary to help. Prices shift based on your actions and reputation. Raiding a settlement might keep your army alive a little longer, but it’ll close doors elsewhere. Managing your resources is just as important as winning battles, and a poorly timed shortage can grind a campaign to a halt.

Regiments aren’t expendable; they are comprised of a living group of men relying on what you’ve given them. Outfit your line infantry with rifles for long-range precision, cylindrical ramrods for faster reloads, or field musicians to steady their morale under fire. Customize their flags and uniforms to reflect your unit’s identity or design something entirely unique. Supplies wear down, resources are limited, and every army ends up looking different by the time the campaign is through.
