Commander?

So, I have a question. What would the skill be, if there is one and it's not a lore, for commanding troops/strategics/tactics? Basically for coming up with a plan of action for battle; utilizing terrain... all that jazz.

Hey! I believe there was a discussion held on this long ago, and the consensus was the this would be split into two different skills, Strategy and Tactics.

Think of Tactics more as like, hands on types of things: telling troops where to go (on the field), formations, and general in-battle stuff. This would feel more like a lieutenant or field commander, etc..

Strategy would be more like a, well, strategist. They plan the battle, design supply lines, tell troops where to go (as in, picking the fights), ration, etc.. So this would be more like a general or other higher ranking official/strategist.

Here is a short discussion on the topic, though the skill was never written up,This is Tactics!

Although for the final say, I defer to the blue names

Figured it'd go something like that. Thanks! Much appreciated.

Actually, we have Leadership in place now, written by Charon. I'm not sure if its in the Wiki or not yet, but its been approved as far as I remember. The rest of the issues... commanding troops, s tragedy, etc are considered Lores.

I've updated that link in case you missed it before. You should be able to check out Leadership in the wiki.
