Commanders are the backbone of your military strength in Battlecry. Each commander allows you to deploy and control units in battle.
When you recruit players into your military, your commander count increases. Each commander can be assigned to a specific category — Army, Air Force, or Navy — and can command up to 10 units in that category.
In battles, your total number of commanders directly impacts how many units you can use. The more commanders you have, the stronger your overall force becomes.
Building a strong and active commander base is one of the most important steps to becoming powerful in the game.
