About Master of Command
Master of Command is a real‑time tactical strategy game set during the Seven Years' War. Players command an army, manage supplies, and make choices that affect every battle and the overall campaign.
The game blends historical combat, regiment customization, and a procedurally generated map with fog of war, terrain effects, and a mobile enemy that reacts to the player's movements.
01 / THE GUIDE
Real‑Time Tactical Battles
Combat unfolds in real time, with morale, stamina, terrain, and timing influencing outcomes. Troops can break when outflanked, falter when exhausted, and rally when supported.
A well‑timed charge or tactical retreat can shift the tide, and victory often depends on disciplined management rather than sheer numbers.
- Watch morale bars closely; low morale can cause units to break.
- Use terrain to protect exhausted troops and to gain positional advantage.

Unit Customization
Regiments can be equipped with historical weapons and gear that affect accuracy, stamina, morale, and other stats. Options include rifles, cylindrical ramrods, and field musicians.
Uniforms, flags, and other visual elements can be altered to reflect a unit’s identity, while supplies wear down over the course of the campaign.
- Equip long‑range weapons for units that will hold defensive positions.
- Balance equipment weight against stamina consumption on long marches.
03 / THE GUIDE
Procedural Campaign
After entering a region, the map is procedurally generated and hidden by fog of war. Players must locate and destroy the enemy’s main encampment while navigating villages, ambushes, and wreckage.
Terrain influences movement speed, provision consumption, and the type of battle that may occur. Enemy forces react dynamically, sometimes pursuing, reinforcing, or waiting in ambush.
- Scout ahead to reveal terrain that may slow your march.
- Avoid lingering in areas where enemy reinforcement timers are visible.
04 / THE GUIDE
Recruitment and Trade
Towns and villages offer opportunities to recruit fresh troops, trade for supplies, or offload captured equipment. Some locations specialize in artillery, munitions, horses, or officers.
Raiding a settlement can provide short‑term resources but may close trade opportunities elsewhere, and reputation influences prices.
- Visit multiple settlements to compare prices before buying scarce supplies.
- Maintain a positive reputation to keep trade routes open.
05 / THE GUIDE
Army Progression
Units gain experience and officers level up, influencing how divisions fight. Choices about which regiments to keep alive affect the long‑term strength of the army.
Players can shape their force as lean and elite or massive and ragged, with each approach offering distinct tactical benefits.
- Promote officers with traits that complement your preferred combat style.
- Preserve veteran units to retain experience bonuses across regions.
