Instead of individual figures, this allowed entire units without limit in size to be moved across the battlefield, and the use of powerful magics: [[Rituals]] & [[Communions]]. This would allow the use of much spendier troops to appear such as Titans and Living Legends. Each army would heavily rely on their main leader, their Command in Chief. This reliance would define their capacy to act in battle, limited by their discipline and number of orders. Additional means were created to balance this system such as being able to promote any figure into a leader at the cost of 10AP to guaranteed an order for their Unit each round.
