Step into the boots of a general and take charge of an army during the brutal 18th-century conflict known as the Seven Years’ War in Master of Command. This strategy game centers entirely on the survival and growth of your fighting force, offering a unique blend of grand-scale decision-making and real-time battlefield control. You must not only lead your men in combat but also ensure their basic needs are met, as marching too far will lead to starvation and resting too long allows the enemy to gain an advantage.
The campaign offers an unpredictable experience across procedurally generated regions. With the fog of war obscuring the map, you must navigate a real-time landscape filled with mobile enemy patrols, villages, and hidden encounters. Your overarching goal is to locate and destroy the enemy's main headquarters, but the path is never the same twice. Every choice you make on the strategic map—where to march, what supplies to buy, which risks to take—has lasting consequences for your army’s health and morale.
Once an enemy is engaged, you zoom in for immersive, real-time tactical battles where morale and formation are just as critical as firepower. You can recruit from over 150 historical unit types and fully customize your regiments with equipment that impacts their performance, from adding field musicians to steady their nerves to choosing the right rifles. Every soldier you lose matters, as surviving units and officers gain experience and permanent traits. You must skillfully manage your resources, use the terrain to your advantage, and maintain discipline to achieve victory in Master of Command.
