Terrain and Weather
Battles reward positioning on high ground, holding chokepoints, and ambushing from woods. Weather conditions such as blizzards or heat waves can alter outcomes, so players should pay attention to the weather before committing forces.

Morale management works alongside logistics, emphasizing that tactical wins must be supported by sustained army health.
- Target enemy leaders early to disrupt command.

Research decisions should reflect the composition of your squads and the challenges presented by terrain and weather.
